Inside Track
Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, is setting aside a reported $18 million to help in the campaigns of mostly Democratic candidates who make a woman's right to kill her pre-born baby a predominant campaign plank. The campaign funding for this year's mid-term legislative and gubernatorial elections will represent the largest ever funding foray for the abortion giant, which received a record $542 million in government funding in 2012. According to its own latest annual report, Planned Parenthood's assets now exceed $1.5 billion.
Groups such as the pro-life Susan B. Anthony List have made it a priority mission to defund the group, which they see as a both a moral and fiscal parasite that is bleeding the American taxpayer with impunity. “Americans are sick and tired of underwriting the nation's largest abortion business,” said Marjorie Dannenfelser, president of the Susan B. Anthony List.
Much of the pro-abortion campaign money will flow through the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes. Officials of the abortion business, who announced the strategy in late February, said they would spend millions in over a dozen states with an emphasis on a half dozen races such as Senate contests in North Carolina, Alaska, and Montana, and gubernatorial contests in Pennsylvania and Florida, as well as the high-profile contest in Texas where Democratic, pro-abortion state Senator Wendy Davis has been waging a high-profile campaign for the office for nearly a year.
