Former Susan G. Komen Exec: Karl Rove Advised Us to Restore Planned Parenthood’s Funding

Sep. 11, 2012 10:40am Mytheos Holt

It has been over six months since the controversy surrounding Susan G. Komen for the Cure deciding to pull its funding from Planned Parenthood, only to be besieged on all sides, and decide to reverse course. Yet as something of a miniature, pro-Life Chick-fil-A-style event that was cut short by circumstance, it may still leave a bad taste in some peoples’ mouths.

It certainly left a bad taste in the mouth of Karen Handel, the former Komen senior vice president who spearheaded the defunding and resigned in the wake of its being restored. And Handel isn’t going quietly. In her new book “Planned Bullyhood,” Handel casts blame not merely on Leftist sympathizers with Planned Parenthood for forcing the decision, but even on people who many conservatives would expect to be reliable allies.

Specifically, and most notably, Handel fingers former Bush adviser Karl Rove as having advised Komen to restore its funding, believing that the whole affair had gone too far and damaged their brand. The Daily Caller reports:

Rove’s advice, according to “Planned Bullyhood,” came as Susan G. Komen for the Cure found itself embroiled in a public relations fiasco after announcing it would stop giving money to Planned Parenthood, which has clinics that perform abortions.[...]

In the book, Handel recalls Susan G. Komen for the Cure CEO Nancy Brinker telling her that “I’ve talked to a lot of people. And even Karl says we have to backtrack.”

Handel, who said she didn’t know who “Karl” was at first, recalls Brinker clarifying that she was talking about Rove.

LifeNews originally reported the excerpts, which readers – especially those smarting over Rove’s decision to savage Missouri Senate candidate Todd Akin – may find rather galling:

I just said, “You don’t have to apologize to me. But I have to say again that it is a huge mistake. Wait through the weekend. It’s Super Bowl weekend. We know there are op-eds teed up about how outrageous Planned Parenthood is being, that private organizations have the right to make the decisions they believe are best. If we blink now, it’s over and no one will know that Komen stands for,” I implored.

Nancy’s reply stunned me. “Karen, I’ve talked to a lot of people. And even Karl says we have to backtrack. There’s just no other way.”

“Karl? Who’s Karl?”

She looked at me strangely as if I should know exactly who she was talking about. She said, “Karl Rove!”

I started laughing. Just when I thought things could not get more bizarre. What in the world did Karl Rove have to do with anything?

Rove’s status as an in-demand strategy consulting guru would explain his influence on Brinker – and indeed, his opinion on what is and is not a good public relations policy is something many people would probably take to heart.

Granted, Rove has a fairly decent pro-Life record, at least when it comes to public statements, so this act is arguably out of character. It’s also possible that Handel might have spruced up her book by throwing in this sort of reference to a famous GOP consultant, or that Rove might have been misquoted or misunderstood, given that he himself never appears in the book.

Nevertheless, accurate or not, Handel’s accusation may strike some as prophetic.

The only funding our federal government should be giving is to defense. Want to see what a lousy job they are doing on that? Go to http://www.anysoldier.com/ and see what our beloved vets are asking for.

  Many people hold the opposite view of yours, Repairsea. Funding everything besides defense.
  
  I have news for these folks, if you don’t have a defense, well, it doesn’t really matter how good your education or healthcare supposedly is.

  I have to admit, I was a little surprised about the Rove stuff. The bible still holds true about people though, “You will know a tree by its fruit.” How did a cancer oriented group devolve into supporting the murder of babies? A group dedicated to preserving life is now the chief funding mechanism for murder of the unborn. You can’t have it both ways. According to God’s word, “when a righteous man sins, none of his righteousness will be remembered, but he will die for his sin.” The Komen Group will burn for their murderous ways. They are covered in an ocean of innocent blood.

Komen has been hamemred by the MSM for taking a stand to keep their donation monies from taking unborn lives.

Funny, it would seem they have every right to make their own choices regarding to whom to contribute.

and Rove sadly was correct… instead of the sharp drop in contributions that HELP WOMEN FIGHT BREAST CANCER (you two faced women’s rights ‘advocates out there… fight for FREE contraception [not 'just contraception'] but not for women’s lives?) if they had stayed true to their beliefs the MSM would have happily continued to drum them out of existence, HURTING ALL WOMEN.

Remember, MSM is in league with the BHO idea that only the government should ‘donate’ to everyone.

But i’ve decided to get on the bandwagon… i want to be able to drive fast, irregardless of the risk of being ticketed or getting in an accident, so instead of guaranteeing me the opportunity to take the test, buy insurance, and drive by the rules of the road, I insist the government give me a free sports car and the funds to cover my insurance and any traffic citations… a Moronic arguement? it’s what Fluke et al are espousing… what Kerry Washington endorses (last time i checked nobody running for office was trying to outlaw contraception, Kerry, Sandra, and all you other leftist loons)

Susan Komen’s memory and foundation DO good for women.

Let’s not forget Karl “Marx” Rove actively campaigned against Sharon Angel in Nevada helping to re-elect Harry Reid. And destroyed the GOP candidate in Delaware. He is currently wussifying the Romney campaign. Romney’s commercials here in Ohio are pathetic and weak.

  Everyone in former GW Bush’s administration are a F-Up. Rove kept the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan going without a plan to win decisively. He ALLOWED Iraq and Afghanistan to create MUSLIM based governments. Women are still abused and murdered in the name of Islam. Thanks Karl Rove. If what I see with Romney turns out to be another Bush, we are doomed.

So tell him No. Stop being a puppet and blaming someone else. That Planned Parenthood should be out of business. It’s a rude prostitution ring that supports abortion and uses Girl Scouts money from cookie selling. The little girl scouts set up their booths outside Victorias Secret and other naked displayed porn shops. How classy. Ugh. Unfortunately most mothers today are really really really stupid. Stop funding and supporting garbage……. SIMPLY TELL THE MAN WHO YOU ARE BLAMING… NO!! Ugh..people are so dumb.

Karen Handel brought about the downfall of Susan G. Komen when she attempted to interject her right wing agenda and negate the goals of the organization. Komen had funded breast screen and outreach programs through Planned Parenthood, not abortions. Yet a zealot, Handel cared little for women helped, she care only about her misguided agenda.

  Besides this partnership is idiotic. Abortion INCREASES the odds of getting breast cancer. I generally do not support boycotts, but I will not knowingly give money to anyone of anything that supports Planned Parenthood. Their main mission is killing children, they provide “healthcare” as an afterthought.

Karl Rove understood the situation Komen was in, and gave advice that was beneficial to Komen, not to the conservative cause. We may have wanted to see Komen stand up to Planned Parenthood, but Komen’s purpose is to fight breast cancer, not fight pro choice people. Sometimes you have to ignore the alligators and continue draining the swamp.

  Well, I guess you can fight breast cancer by preemptively killing the woman before she’s born.
  
  Karl Rove is a progressive Benedict Arnold to the Republican party. He is responsible for Harry Reid getting re-elected to the Senate and destroyed the Republican nominee in Delaware. I suspect he is advising Romney to not attack Obama now thus, ensuring an Obama re-election. You can defend him if you like. But, the bottom line is that Planned Parenthood ultimately ended up with more funding and either that funding went towards aborting children or kept money from being diverted away from aborting children. Apparently, Karl Rove is partially responsible for that.

  You said: “By the way, it is exactly that type of logic that has taken churches away from the truth.” Churches by nature do not have to compromise to exist. In fact, they do better when they don’t. That is why it is such a crime when they compromise the truth anyway. Non church charities are different type of organization. They have to please their contributors, otherwise they cannot exist. You cannot compare apples and oranges, it is illogical.

Not really surprising–it’s not because Rove is pro-choice, but rather for PR reasons, which makes total sense why he would advise as much given his background is EXTENSIVELY about managing PR, specifically with regards to political issues. Of course, once the damage was done, it’s not clear that from Rove’s perspective (i.e. the Right) that it was necessarily the smartest move to backtrack (although from the perspective of the public good it was, as it was a stupid decision with respect to the public utility, from the beginning).

  Over the past few years, I’ve grown significantly less fond of Karl Rove. Obviously, he is sharp and knows politics, but I always wanted to believe “our side” always had the best intentions when “strategerizing”.
  
  Rove makes it such a zero-sum game, but he has to remember the fundamentalist on our side don’t want to win if winning means compromising some pretty core beliefs. Guys like Rove will always respond to that with, “Hey, let’s be flexible and get a guy that can win in….”, but as we’ve seen over the past 20 years, this strategy comes is purely and solely short-term in nature; it destroys long range goals.

  I had such high expectations during those years, too. I look back on how I saw it back then and just cringe.
  
  There is no substitute for experience. I realized not too long ago that just when you think things are going “our” way politically (end of Reagan years, beginning of old man Bush years), there is another generation that is completely and utterly naive and wet behind the ears which lends itself to the political landscape drifting back left. However, the way it is now is shockingly left and central-planning in nature. The real problem here is that a person essentially starts out left and moves right as they gain wisdom and experience, so we’ll always be fighting that element.
  
  Interesting and frustrating at the same time.

No surprise. The Right would do well to examine its ranks and some of its history. The things many correctly stand against are in fact endorsed or encouraged by their “leadership”. One need look no further than researching who instituted No Fault Divorce first in California, way back when. Sorry folks, but the leadership isn’t where we should be looking, since they only lead us into chains, time and time again (no matter the political ideology).

  Really. The unpaid expansion of the Medicare prescription drugs was a result of an attack? Did Iraq attack? Did Bush say that he would not nation build when a candidate? Didn’t he say that he would not commit troops without an exit strategy?
  
  Truth hurts, no?

  He sure is and thank God, we may be able to keep our freedoms. Hallelujah Karl Rove, and carry on.
  Keep those dollars rolling in for Romney the next President of the USA with divine providence, of course. I am so glad you are on our side, that is the winning side. Keep them desperados desperate. Viva Karl.
  They sure are hot and bothered about you so you must be doing something right. A lot right.
