So why the shift? First, Komen last year hired Karen Handel, a former Georgia anti-choice gubernatorial candidate and Sarah Palin acolyte whopromised as part of her platform to defund Planned Parenthood and other vital health services. Handel, who lost her race but is said to have future political ambitions, is now senior vice president for policy at Komen. She was originallyendorsed in her race by and received money from current GOP presidential contender Mitt Romney, with whom some sources suggest she remains closely allied. Romney, in turn, has suddenly become more anti-choice than thou and has promised a federal personhood amendment as well as to defund Planned Parenthood.

Second, sitting on Komen's Advocacy Alliance Board isJane Abraham, the general chairman of the virulently anti-choice and anti-science Susan B. Anthony List and of its Political Action Committee. Among other involvements, Abraham helps direct the Nuturing Network, a global network of crisis pregnancy centers known for spreading ideology, misinformation and lies to women facing unintended pregnancy. Also on the board of Nuturing Network is Maureen Scalia, the wife of Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia.

Ugh. And, as a bonus, we have another SCOTUS wife involved on the board of a rw fringe group.

1. Rightwing modus operandi:

If you can't beat them, join them, infiltrate them, and take them out from within.

This is what they've been trying with each and every group they don't agree with or like. This is what they've been doing in the #Occupy movement, the Democratic Party, the Liberal movement, the Progressive movement...

3. Good to note Handel's direct connection to Mitt...

...among their interlocking radical networks.
