For example, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opensecrets.org\/orgs\/summary.php?id=D000000591\" target=\"_blank\">according to the Center for Responsive Politics<\/a>, during the 2014 election cycle, PP gave $892,000 to Democrats and $3,100 to Republicans. The 2012 election cycle was even more generous to the Democrats, with $1.2 million to Dems compared to $26,600 to GOPers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px;\">After adding up the annual individual candidate numbers from the Center for Responsive Politics, here are the 25 federal politicians who have received the most Planned Parenthood campaign cash from 1990 (the first year for which data was available) through the end of August.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The list includes several other pro-abortion politicians, such as Sen. Barbara Boxer from California, who has been a vocal proponent of abortion her entire career; and\u00a0senators\u00a0Claire McCaskill (D-MO) and Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), lawmakers who frequently echo Planned Parenthood in political debates. Defending the abortion profiteer is\u00a0probably easier to do, however, when Planned Parenthood is lining the campaign pocketbooks of these politicians.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.plannedparenthoodexposed.com\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-68636 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg\" alt=\"DefundAd-400b\" width=\"400\" height=\"170\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b.jpg 400w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/07\/DefundAd-400b-300x128.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Of greatest concern in this current political season is not even the outgoing President Obama, but the front runner to replace him on the Democratic side.\u00a0Hillary Clinton shows up as number three on the list.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-74670 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-21-at-11.33.27-AM-700x184.png\" alt=\"Screen Shot 2015-09-21 at 11.33.27 AM\" width=\"474\" height=\"125\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-21-at-11.33.27-AM-700x184.png 700w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-21-at-11.33.27-AM-300x79.png 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/Screen-Shot-2015-09-21-at-11.33.27-AM.png 1434w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 474px) 100vw, 474px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>In business, such alliances would be labeled as an ethical conflict-of-interest;
