-- new fallout tonight in the Susan G common Planned Parenthood controversy the vice president for public policy out the foundation today resigned.
They komen foundation reversed its decision to withdraw funding from Planned Parenthood.
In an interview with Megyn Kelly on the Fox News Channel -- -- all denounced Planned Parenthood tactics.
The last time I checked.
Private nonprofit organizations have -- right in the responsibility.
To be able to set the highest standards and criteria on -- and without interference let alone malevolent vicious attacks and coercion that -- occurred.
-- by Planned Parenthood it's it's simply outrageous.
Joining us now to discuss these latest developments former Hillary Clinton advisor Fox News contributor.
Good to have you with us and Daniel Foster writer for the national review good to have you with us in -- let's start with -- -- Your reaction.
Tune -- to Peru Peru.
Resignation.
Does this in the matter in as far as you're concerned is as far as it seems to you.
I don't think it and the matter but I do think -- -- cut this is the right and dean.
For this sad episode they're gonna be some more chapters as we continue to see.
What actually happens with the funding but at the end of the day.
Karen -- -- came in to what was the most profitable nonprofit brand in the world in 2010.
And because she wanted to politicize women's health she has decimated the brand of Susan G.
Komen it was her responsibility to resign from this organization.
I do think we will hear more from her because on the right she's probably going to become a martyr for the pro life movement -- Also we have to look at the impact for Planned Parenthood.
That for our.
A long time -- silent majority a pro choice America.
Has been pushed back by -- on the playground and date came out of this with a mandate of support from from the American people.
-- I think that's almost exactly backwards I mean Karen and -- personal pro life views have been well known for a long time pictures of public figure before she came into common but.
The resignation of blame to come in which a hundred million dollar outfit.
From planned parent or two billion dollar a year out that the idea that somehow -- was bullying of politicizing the issue I mean if it's in that could choose exactly right.
Komen Foundation's prerogative to spend money and -- -- resources as it like -- entirely its own.
Shouldn't be a matter of politics and frankly I don't care they made the decision because as they said early on.
-- -- is under congressional investigation or if it was because.
They weren't providing mammograms or rather referring them to third party or it's because they're opposed to abortion -- that I mean it's irrelevant and shouldn't have become a pump up public for all the way it did the private foundation.
Are a private foundation but when you're a non profit you're operating under public hospices.
And therefore I don't think there's anything private about it it to be honest with what should I don't care what the foundation is I think there should be absolute openness and transparency.
In ending in GO in the not for profit nonprofit.
I I think that's an absurdity these are these are tools these are political tools at work on our society that are going on and on examine.
We now have the opportunity examine Susan G.
-- We have the opportunity to exam Planned Parenthood.
Do you not agree that they should be examined thoroughly there should be absolute openness and transparency about their activities their funding and their politics I think there are politics.
They have absolutely been.
Open and transparent when Planned Parenthood talks about I mean I 7% of their service it's one thing missing link planning and we.
One thing to say that that.
You know that they've been transparent do you agree that there should be absolutely the same standards of openness and transparency for all.
All nonprofits not properly and India.
Absolutely and I think when we have a situation similar to what is happening with Planned Parenthood.
Where there was out of -- concerted coordinated effort from the right wing to go after this organization that provides.
You know cancer screenings 97% of their services have nothing to do with abortion but the pro life movement has been going after them for decades.
And use a member of congress I do believe there was coordination between the BP Karen and Dell and represented -- learn from Florida we're gonna -- -- that.
