Last Thursday, Planned Parenthood announced its endorsement<\/a> of Hillary Clinton. The move marked the first presidential primary endorsement the abortion giant has ever made\u00a0– but not everyone was\u00a0happy with the endorsement, including<\/a> some of Planned Parenthood’s own supporters.<\/p>\n

This first of its kind endorsement has certainly gotten the media’s attention, with talk of the past, present, and future implications. Yahoo! News published a piece from AFP titled,\u00a0“Planned Parenthood endorses Hillary Clinton in funding boon.”<\/a> The abortion giant’s advocacy organizations plan to spend $20 million to elect her as President.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The $20 million plan is hardly surprising, as Hillary and Planned Parenthood have<\/a> a long and involved<\/a> relationship.<\/p>\n

Hillary has often defended abortion, including late-term abortion <\/a>that is unpopular with the American public. She has also defended Planned Parenthood by name again and again.\u00a0Over the summer, Politico discussed the interwoven web that is the Hillary\/PP relationship in “Hillary Clinton’s Planned Parenthood Ties Run Deep,” <\/a>even stating: “Planned Parenthood\u2019s problem was Clinton\u2019s problem, too.”<\/p>\n

The relationship goes back far beyond this election cycle. Open Secrets shows <\/a>Planned Parenthood donated to Hillary’s Senate campaign way back in 2000, to the tune of $8,000.\u00a0 The recipients are listed alphabetically rather than amount received. Of the 19 candidates Planned Parenthood donated to that year, Hillary received a higher sum than 12 other candidates who each received $5,000 or less.<\/p>\n

The money continued to increase, as Open Secrets reports<\/a> Planned Parenthood donated<\/a> just under $28,000 to Clinton’s\u00a0campaign during the 2008 primary season, (second only to President Barack Obama).<\/p>\n

In 2009, Clinton was the recipient<\/a> of PP’s “highest honor,” the Margaret Sanger Award.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, the 2016 election cycle will also be worth paying attention to, and not just because the election is 10 months from this Friday.<\/p>\n

Back in July, the Washington Free Beacon reported <\/a>that Hillary Clinton has received more than $22,000 from Planned Parenthood employees during the first quarter\u00a0–\u00a020 times more money than all the other Democratic candidates running at the time.<\/p>\n

Back in September, Live Action News reported on a list of the “25 politicians who received the most money from Planned Parenthood,”<\/a> which\u00a0shows Hillary Clinton at #3 on the list – following Barack Obama and former Rep. Timothy Bishop (D-NY), who lost his seat in the 2014 election to pro-life Republican Lee Zeldin.<\/p>\n

Open Secrets<\/a> reveals yet more telling results about the abortion industry’s support for Hillary Clinton. EMILY’s List – whose mission is to elect pro-abortion candidates – is second only to Morgan & Morgan when it comes to Clinton’s biggest contributors.<\/p>\n

During the 2008 election<\/a>, EMILY’s List was actually Hillary’s largest contributor.<\/p>\n

Clearly, money from the abortion industry has been flowing in to Hillary over the years and is unlikely\u00a0to stop, especially following Planned Parenthood’s official endorsement.<\/p>\n

Open Secrets has a category for Abortion Policy\/Pro-Abortion Rights. <\/a>This includes a breakdown of the groups giving the most which fit into that category. Not surprisingly, Planned Parenthood is at the top of the list and dominates the contributions – and the group’s contributions show that solely “Democrats” and “Liberal Groups” are the recipients of Planned Parenthood’s money.<\/p>\n

The page also shows top recipients of funds from\u00a0pro-abortion groups, and allows readers to view a more complete list of 20 politicians. Hillary Clinton dominates that list, raking in over $83,000 already for the 2016 election.<\/p>\n

NARAL has also endorsed<\/a> Hillary Clinton, and the National Organization for\u00a0Women (NOW) sent out a press release <\/a>regarding their support for Women for Hillary.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood and the rest of Big Abortion have already gotten comfortable with the two-term presidency of Barack Obama, the nation’s most pro-abortion President thus far. It seems like they are likewise very comfortable with the idea of a Hillary Clinton presidency.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
