Planned Parenthood to Spend $16M on Pro-Abortion Advertising

Abortion, , , ,

This spring Planned Parenthood Federation and Planned Parenthood Action Fund announced it would spend a total of $16 million on pro-abortion paid media advertisements.

According to a press release, the multimillion dollar ad campaign will “educate and increase urgency around the abortion access crisis facing the country.” The ads reportedly are intended to reach minorities and young adults across the nation.

This is not the first time that Planned Parenthood has used its financial resources to promote its pro-abortion agenda.

In April, Family Council reported that Planned Parenthood has spent nearly $3,000 electioneering in Arkansas this year alone.

In 2020 Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million in an effort to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect candidates who support abortion.

As part of that plan, the group used its PAC in Arkansas to support candidates for state and federal office.

Despite significant, pro-life victories, Planned Parenthood remains active in Arkansas and elsewhere, and it could show more activity in the coming months.

Planned Parenthood Gave $2,900 to AR Senate Candidate in January: Report

Abortion, , , ,

Quarterly financial reports from the Secretary of State’s Office show the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, has spent nearly $3,000 electioneering in Arkansas so far this year.

Last week Planned Parenthood’s political action committee filed its first quarter financial report for 2022 with the State of Arkansas.

According to the report, the PAC gave $2,900 to Lisa Carole Parks (D – Springdale) on January 31 in support of her special election campaign for State Senate District 7.

Parks lost that special election in February, but since then she has filed to run for State Senate in the 2022 general election this November.

This is not the first time Planned Parenthood has given money to candidates running for office in Arkansas.

In 2020 Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million in an effort to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect candidates who support abortion.

As part of that plan, the group used its PAC in Arkansas to support candidates for state and federal office.

Four of the candidates Planned Parenthood endorsed — Rep. Denise Ennet (D – Little Rock), Rep. Tippi McCullough (D – Little Rock), Sen. Clarke Tucker (D – Little Rock), and Rep. David Whitaker (D – Fayetteville) — won their elections.

Planned Parenthood’s political action committee reportedly has a little over $12,000 that it could spend influencing elections in Arkansas this year.

Planned Parenthood’s PAC Shows Little Activity For Now

Abortion, Planned Parenthood,

On Tuesday Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes Arkansas — the political action committee for Planned Parenthood in Arkansas — filed a quarterly report showing no political activity in Arkansas during October, November, and December of 2021.

Planned Parenthood’s previous quarterly reports for 2021 showed no activity as well.

Political action committees donate money to candidates and political causes.

In 2020 Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million in an effort to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect candidates who support abortion.

As part of that plan, the group used its PAC in Arkansas to support candidates for state and federal office.

Four of the candidates Planned Parenthood endorsed — Rep. Denise Ennet (D – Little Rock), Rep. Tippi McCullough (D – Little Rock), Sen. Clarke Tucker (D – Little Rock), and Rep. David Whitaker (D – Fayetteville) — won their elections.

Right now Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes Arkansas has a little over $15,000 at its disposal to use in the upcoming 2022 elections. Obviously, that could change if Planned Parenthood Federation decides it wants to divert more resources toward electioneering in Arkansas.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and the group currently operates two facilities in Arkansas.

Planned Parenthood’s facility in Little Rock performs chemical abortions. Its facility in Rogers provides abortion referrals.

Planned Parenthood also lobbies against pro-life legislation at the Arkansas Capitol, and last fall it unveiled a three-pronged strategy for opposing a Texas-style “heartbeat” law in Arkansas.

Despite significant, pro-life victories, Planned Parenthood remains active in Arkansas, and its political action committee could show more activity as the spring primary elections approach.
