Abortion chain Planned Parenthood is pouring money into U.S. elections in what its top leadership is selling as an effort to \u201csave democracy.” Americans, however, have consistently shown that they don’t agree with the radical abortion agenda pushed by the abortion giant.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an interview featured on MSNBC\u2019s show The Reid Out, as reported by <\/span>Fox News<\/span><\/a>, Planned Parenthood president Alexis McGill Johnson argued that through the abortion giant\u2019s political advocacy, \u201cabortion is actually going to save democracy.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

McGill Johnson framed the effort as a battle against \u201ca deeply radical, extremely unpopular agenda around continuing to constrain access to [abortion].\u201d She argued that the only reason legal protections for preborn babies have been winning in states and on ballots in the past several years is because of \u201chow gerrymandered these states have become.\u201d According to the abortion giant\u2019s president, \u201cYou can have a state where there is majority support but you actually can\u2019t have the laws that you want because you have these politicians that have been safely put into these seats.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But as Live Action News has <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a>, a majority of Americans consistently has expressed support for significant restrictions on abortion in polling. SBA Pro-Life America <\/span>polling<\/span><\/a> indicates that 72% of Americans would restrict abortion to 15 weeks of pregnancy, a finding similar to the results of a <\/span>Knights of Columbus\/Marist poll<\/span><\/a> released in early 2022.<\/span><\/p>\n

In an August <\/span>press release<\/span><\/a>, as <\/span>reported<\/span><\/a> by Live Action News, Planned Parenthood announced operation \u201cTake Control,\u201d which it is framing as its \u201clargest ever investment in an electoral cycle\u201d at $50 million. The money will focus on states \u201cpositioned to either ban or expand access\u201d to abortion with the goal to \u201cpreserve and expand abortion access in as many states as possible.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The abortion giant\u2019s effort to \u201csave democracy\u201d comes as it continues to receive hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars annually. According to a Family Research Council study<\/a>, between 1994 and 2019 Planned Parenthood received $9.7 billion in government funding and committed more than 7 million abortions.\u00a0<\/span>A Government Accountability Office <\/span>report<\/span><\/a> also found that Planned Parenthood was one of the major abortion advocacy groups that received nearly $2 billion over three years in 2016-2018. Although government funds are generally restricted from directly funding abortion, as pro-life Rep. Chris Smith <\/span>pointed out<\/span><\/a>, \u201c[T]he American people are not fooled by accounting tricks; they know that \u2026 taxpayers are in essence subsidizing its whole business.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Yet Planned Parenthood’s unprecedented spending on the election and its attempts to sell its efforts as a battle to \u201csave democracy,\u201d conceal a more cynical motive. As a spokesperson for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America told Fox News Digital<\/a>, \u201cThe abortion lobby\u2019s plan to spend millions to elect Democrats who back abortion on demand until birth shows just how desperate they are to preserve their lucrative business of killing unborn children and exploiting their mothers.”<\/span><\/p>\n
