Micro Issues

$1.$ Does a charity such as Susan G$.$ Komen for the Cure have a duty to

reflect the views of its donors in its policies and its affiliations?

$2.$ Should donors have a right to shape the way their funds are used

after they have given them?

$3.$ If the original decision to drop the funding had the support of the

board of Komen, why did Handel have to resign?

Midrange Issues

$1.$ The decision to break the affiliation with Planned Parenthood by

Komen came in the midst of a congressional inquiry with largely

Republican support. Was the subsequent decision of Komen to

reinstate Planned Parenthood politically motivated?

Strategic Communication $97$

$2.$ If you are a spokesperson for a group, is it incumbent that you agree

with all of its actions? Would you have resigned as Handel did?

Why or why not? Does your opinion about abortion have anything

to do with your decision?

Macro Issues

$1.$ This controversy involved two of America$$s largest charities for

women$$s health care. Much of the funding of these charities comes

from large corporate donations. In light of that, what is your opinion

of Komen$$s initial action against Planned Parenthood? What about

its subsequent reversal?

$2.$ Donations to organizations such as Komen are tax deductible. To

what extent does that give the government a right to regulate them?
