<\/div>

For an organization that promotes itself as a non-partisan health care group, Planned Parenthood shows\u00a0a lot of interest in politics, specifically in influencing elections with money.<\/p>\n

2016 has set new precedents of political involvement\u00a0for the abortion business, with Hillary Clinton receiving Planned Parenthood’s endorsement before the Democratic primary was even over – the first time the abortion giant has endorsed a primary candidate in its history.\u00a0In addition to endorsing candidates like Clinton, who support overturning the Hyde Amendment (in order to use taxpayer dollars to directly fund abortions), Planned Parenthood is also spending tens of millions of dollars to oppose the campaigns of those who do not agree with their extreme agenda of abortion on demand.<\/p>\n

A recent example of this is Planned Parenthood’s campaign to defeat pro-life\u00a0Pennsylvania Senator Pat Toomey. Toomey’s challenger, Democrat Katie McGinty, is pro-abortion and has the backing of Planned Parenthood. The\u00a0contest is reportedly the most expensive<\/a> Senate race in the nation.<\/p>\n

And now, Planned Parenthood has joined in the fray, launching a $1.3 million ad campaign to discredit Toomey. The ad focuses on past comments by Toomey, in which he stated that abortion should be banned, and abortionists held accountable under the law. Planned Parenthood Votes executive director Deirdre Schifeling explained the abortion business’ dislike for the pro-life Senator: “Pat Toomey is like a termite – you don\u2019t realize that he\u2019s busy eroding all your rights until your entire house falls down.”<\/p>\n

\"NewDefundAd3\"<\/a><\/p>\n

In a response<\/a>, Toomey’s campaign turned the abortion argument back on McGinty: \u201cPat Toomey\u2019s record on abortion is the same as a majority of elected Pennsylvanians in Congress and the state legislature, while Katie McGinty\u2019s view is so extreme that she would have taxpayers paying for any abortion for any reason during any time of pregnancy.”<\/p>\n

According to the Huffington Post, Planned Parenthood is aiming to spend about $30 million on political efforts related to the 2016 election.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
