<\/div>

With Election Day fast approaching, the abortion industry is pouring unprecedented amounts of money \u2014 more than $100 million \u2014 into pro-abortion campaigns.<\/span><\/p>\n

On September 12, 2024, American Bridge 21st Century, a major Democratic Super PAC, <\/span>kicked off<\/span><\/a> a $15 million ad campaign targeting Michigan, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. As part of a broader $140 million media push to defeat former President Donald Trump, the ads \u2014 running across TV, radio, and digital platforms \u2014 aim to engage women in these key swing states. The campaign contrasts Trump\u2019s stance on abortion with Vice President Kamala Harris, who has pledged to safeguard abortion access and restore Roe v. Wade<\/em> in federal law. This would block states from implementing pro-life laws that limit abortion access.<\/span><\/p>\n

According to Bradley Beychok, co-founder of American Bridge, the focus is on \u201cabortion, democracy, and freedom,\u201d with an emphasis on how women in key battleground states will shape the outcome of the election.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s campaign has stated that the Supreme Court <\/span>\u201cgot it right\u201d<\/span><\/a> in overturning Roe v. Wade<\/em>, though he has said he supports abortion in cases of rape, incest, and health of the mother. He has also said he will not use the Comstock Act to <\/span>ban<\/span><\/a> mail-order abortion drugs or <\/span>call for<\/span><\/a> a nationwide abortion ban.<\/span><\/p>\n

Harris\u2019 ad campaign arrives on the heels of two massive investments in pro-abortion lobbying over the summer.<\/span><\/p>\n

On June 24, 2024, the two-year anniversary of the overturning of Roe v. Wade<\/em>, pro-abortion organizations <\/span>launched<\/span><\/a> the Access Now campaign, pledging a $100 million investment to advance abortion access across the United States. The press release stated, \u201cThe campaign will work to expand abortion access and coverage over the next decade, ensuring a federal right to abortion, making it legal again, and securing access to abortion care in every state.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The organizations behind the campaign include Planned Parenthood and the American Civil Liberties Union, the top contributors to abortion-related lobbying spending. These two groups are also among the key players promoting pro-abortion ballot initiatives in various states<\/a>.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also on June 24, Planned Parenthood Votes announced that its political and advocacy groups plan to spend $40 million in the 2024 election to defend abortion access. Through the <\/span>We Decide<\/span><\/a> campaign, Planned Parenthood invested in 14 target states, including Arizona, Florida, Michigan, and Pennsylvania. The program engages voters through face-to-face conversations, phone calls, mail, digital ads, and events.<\/span><\/p>\n

At the June launch of the program, Jenny Lawson, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes, stated: \u201cPlanned Parenthood advocacy and political organizations are fighting to elect abortion rights champions, up and down the ballot. At no point in pregnancy is a politician more qualified to make decisions about your health than you and your health care providers. We demand the power to decide what’s best for our families, our bodies, our lives, and our futures. When we decide \u2013 we win.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

On the pro-life side, Pregnancy Help News <\/span>reports<\/span><\/a> that pro-life groups are fighting hard to advocate for the nation\u2019s preborn children. In February 2024, a spokesperson for Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America (previously the Susan B. Anthony List) told <\/span>OpenSecrets<\/span><\/a> they planned to raise and spend $92 million during the 2024 election cycle.<\/span><\/p>\n

Massive spending on abortion this election cycle sends a clear message: the stakes are high, and the outcome could reshape the future of abortion and the right to life for preborn children in America.<\/span><\/p>\n
