NEW YORK (AP) — The former Susan G. Komen executive at the heart of the organization's clash with Planned Parenthood has a book deal.

Howard Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, announced Monday that Karen Handel's "Planned Bullyhood" will come out Sept. 11.

Handel is a former senior vice president of public policy at Komen. She resigned in February amid a furious public debate over the breast cancer charity's decision to cut off, then reinstate funding for Planned Parenthood.

Handel is a Republican who opposed abortion as a candidate for Georgia governor. She actively supported Komen's move to end the grants.

Last week, Komen's founding CEO, Nancy Brinker, announced she was stepping down. A Komen spokeswoman says the decision is unrelated to last winter's controversy. Komen President Liz Thompson also is leaving.

Who cares about her! Was hoping she would stay out of the limelight forever. No one wants her back.

I didn't vote for Karen Handel for governor, but I respect her pro-life position, and I am sick-to-death tired of being told I must support Planned Parenthood if I am a woman. Good for Karen.
