So far this year, Planned Parenthood’s political action organization, Planned Parenthood Votes, has received $10,119,855 in individual donations for 2016 political campaigning, according to a\u00a0summary<\/a>\u00a0published by Open Secrets. \u00a0A\u00a0search conducted on October 11, 2016, revealed that\u00a0billionaire George Soros and his family\u00a0members were among Planned Parenthood’s top political donors:<\/p>\n

\u2022 George Soros gave Planned Parenthood Votes $1,500,000
\n\u2022 Jennifer Allan Soros gave Planned Parenthood Votes $1,000,000
\n\u2022 Jonathan Soros gave Planned Parenthood Votes $1,000,000 as well as $250,000 in\u00a02012<\/a>
\n\u2022\u00a0Andrea Soros Colombel<\/a>\u00a0gave Planned Parenthood Votes $ 250,000

 <\/p>\n

George Soros, whose net worth<\/a> is $24.9 billion, promised to spend $13 million to support Democrats in the 2016 presidential race. He is among Planned Parenthood’s biggest donors<\/a>.\u00a0Soros listed his place of employment as the Soros Fund Management when he donated $1,500,000 in 2016 to Planned Parenthood\u00a0Votes. According to Bloomberg<\/a>, Soros Fund Management LLC is a “privately owned family office” which “invests in the public equity and fixed income markets across the globe.”<\/p>\n

Soros’ daughter,\u00a0Andrea Soros<\/a>,\u00a0who now goes by her married name Andrea Soros Colombel,<\/a>\u00a0gave<\/a>\u00a0Planned Parenthood $250,000 in 2016. Her brother Jonathan Soros gave Planned Parenthood Votes $1,000,000.\u00a0Soros daughter-in-law, Jennifer Allan Soros, is also among Planned Parenthood’s top political donors, giving them $1,000,000 this year. Jennifer\u00a0also\u00a0recently co-founded<\/a> Give Lively<\/a>\u00a0with her husband Jonathan<\/a>.<\/p>\n

But Jennifer Allan Soros has a relationship with Planned Parenthood which goes far beyond her financial support. She\u00a0began supporting Planned Parenthood during a summer internship in college, and told the Wall Street Journal<\/a> that supporting Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its affiliates is her \u201chighest philanthropic priority.\u201d She\u00a0recently gave Planned Parenthood of New York City $50,000 to open a center on Staten Island which will offer abortion referrals.<\/p>\n

\"jennifer-allan-soros-wall-street-journal-planned-parenthood\"<\/p>\n

Beyond this, according to Planned Parenthood’s 2013-2014 Annual Report<\/a>, Jennifer Allan Soros was listed as a Board Member of Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA). She has also been listed as vice-chair of Planned Parenthood Action Fund as well as a member of The Planned Parenthood Foundation Board of Trustees. Ms. Soros has been on Planned Parenthood’s board for a number of years, as evidenced by their 2009,<\/a> 2010-2011<\/a>,\u00a0and 2012-2013<\/a> annual reports.<\/p>\n

Recently leaked documents reveal that in addition to his political contributions, George Soros gave Planned Parenthood $1.5 million<\/a>\u00a0in the aftermath of the undercover videos released by\u00a0the Center for Medical Progress, which purport\u00a0to show Planned Parenthood’s involvement in the trafficking of aborted fetal body parts. A memo written in Open Society’s October 2015<\/a>\u00a0board meeting note reads:<\/p>\n

USP [US Program] is working with longtime grantee Planned Parenthood Federation of America, to determine how we might support c3-related efforts in response to the well-publicized attack on Planned Parenthood by the Center for Medical Progress. As of this writing, the funding of Planned Parenthood is expected to be at the center of federal budget battles, even though an end to that funding would mean that 630,000 women would be cut off from basic preventive services. While it is highly unlikely that the politics will allow an end to federal Medicaid funding, the long-term consequences involve the substantial eroding of Planned Parenthood\u2019s credibility and reputation. (According to a recent NBC News\/Wall Street Journal poll, Planned Parenthood is viewed positively by 45 percent of respondents\u2014two points higher than the National Rifle Association, and well above any of the 2016 presidential candidates.) Planned Parenthood is mounting a vigorous defense, supported by a $1.5m OSPC grant<\/strong>, in the face of four Congressional investigations and a cyber-attack that closed its website (used by patients to get services), which required the hiring of security for many of its doctors, and otherwise distracted it from its core mission.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Planned Parenthood as an organization commits more than 300,000 abortions annually, according to their annual report, and receives\u00a0half a billion dollars in\u00a0taxpayer dollars each year.<\/p>\n

While Planned Parenthood claims abortion is only 3 percent<\/a> of the services they provide, the Washington Post gave the claim<\/a> “three Pinocchios” and a detailed analysis<\/a>\u00a0from Live Action has also debunked the claim.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
