" Media reports postulated that Handel, who had advocated defunding Planned Parenthood in her gubernatorial campaign, and pressure from anti-abortion groups played major roles in this move. [25] On February 2, 2012, Jeffrey Goldberg reported in The Atlantic that "three sources with direct knowledge of the Komen decision-making process told me that the rule was adopted in order to create an excuse to cut-off Planned Parenthood." Goldberg further reports that his sources indicated "The decision to create a rule that would cut funding to Planned Parenthood, according to these sources, was driven by the organization's new senior vice-president for public policy, Karen Handel, a former gubernatorial candidate from Georgia who is staunchly anti-abortion and who has said that since she is "pro-life, I do not support the mission of Planned Parenthood". [26] On February 5, 2012 The Huffington Post reported that "emails between Komen leadership... confirm Handel's sole "authority" in crafting and implementing the Planned Parenthood policy... Handel submitted the new grant criteria to Komen leadership in November and the board approved it in December, at which point Komen's top public health official resigned "on the spot." [27] The firestorm which developed when the news broke out led to a reversal of Komen's decision."
