We reported here about the fact that Planned Parenthood – the nation’s leading abortion provider and baby body parts seller – is giving big bucks to Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.

[HarleyLady27]

But, new reports are out about the flow of millions of dollars that are given to Planned Parenthood from U.S. companies and which candidates other than Hillary are recipients of Planned Parenthood’s political donations.

First, The Daily Signal reports which candidates got money from Planned Parenthood in the 2014 election:

Planned Parenthood donated $679,596 through its PACs and affiliates to pro-choice candidates in the 2014 election cycle, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a research group that tracks money in U.S. politics.

The Center for Responsive Politics compiled the data using figures released by the Federal Election Commission and the Internal Revenue Service.

Here are the biggest recipients of funds from Planned Parenthood:

Sen. Ed Markey, D-Mass., received $22,290.

Democrat Michelle Nunn, who ran unsuccessfully against Sen. David Perdue, R-Ga., received $16,550.

Rep. Tim Bishop, D-N.Y., who was unseated in the 2014 election, received $16,200.

Sen. Jeanne Shaheen, D-N.H., received $15,999.

Sen. Al Franken, D-Minn., received $15,299.

Alison Lundergan Grimes, Kentucky Democrat who unsuccessfully challenged Mitch McConnell, received $14,350.

Former Sen. Mark Udall, D-Colo., who lost his re-election bid, received $14,200.

Former Sen. Kay Hagan, D-N.C., also unseated in the 2014 election, received $12,811.

Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., received $10,999.

Rep. Ann Kirkpatrick, D-Ariz., received $10,850.

Sen. Gary Peters, D-Mich., received $10,499.

Rep. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., received $10,300.

Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Texas, received $10,300.

Rep. Scott Peters, D-Calif., received $10,291.

Former Rep. Dan Maffei, D-N.Y., who lost his re-election bid in 2014, received $10,250.

Sen. Mark Warner, D-Va., received $10,057.

Reps. Julia Brownley, D-Calif.;

Lois Capps, D-Calif.;

Elizabeth Esty, D-Conn.; Sean Patrick Maloney, D-N.Y.; Patrick Murphy, D-Fla.; and Raul Ruiz, D-Calif., and former Reps. Carol Shea-Porter, D-N.H.,

and Joe Garcia, D-Fla., each received $10,000.

According to the Center for Responsive Politics, the lone Republican recipient of Planned Parenthood funds was Rep. Richard Hanna, R-N.Y., who received $2,823.

Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz, D-Fla., chairwoman of the Democratic National Committee, and House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., each received $1,000.

That’s right. Planned Parenthood almost exclusively bankrolled Democrat candidates in 2014 to the tune of over 2/3 of a million dollars.

As with Hillary, this money is designed to buy pro-abort votes in government.

Remember, Planned Parenthood is already receiving over $500 million dollars in federal funding via our tax dollars. And, they receive millions more from states’ tax dollars.

Hey I could use a couple thousand too!

Disgraceful. The whole political system needs to be taken down hard.

Buy ammo...........

[oldbrowser]

So the politicians give the taxpayer's money to planned parenthood who then donates it back to the politicians campaign for re election? That is money laundering.

there should be a law. But guess who makes the laws.

Price list for murdered baby parts.

It would be nice to see a law - Any organization that receives federal/stare funding cannot make donations to political candidates or their PACs.

[delchiante]

It is hard not to see some political contributions as kickbacks..

At least in a biblical sense if not ‘illegal’ by govt standards..

Blood money in more than one sense of the word.

[faithhopecharity]

how is it possible
that
any organization that gets $4 Billion in our tax money

is allowed to pass money along
to
any
political candidates?

[Mr. K]

...AND ARE THEY REPORTING THIS INCOME AND PAYING TAXES ON IT?

Al Capone went to jail not for organized crime, but for income tax evasion

[Steely Tom]

I bet that a large percentage - much larger than they are forced to reveal by law - of PP’s profits go straight to the left-wingers in politics, the media, and the foundations who help PP stay afloat and keep them safe from scrutiny and legal actions.

PP is in large part (I believe) a funding agency for left-wing politics, just like so many other supposedly non-political organizations are.

[Mygirlsmom]

I want to see PP’s shell company, Stem Express’ record of donations.

Didn’t they give 12 million totheOne?
