Planned Parenthood Has Spent $12 Million to Re-Elect Obama

Hey, America, do you know what you’re funding with government money when you give to “women’s health” via Planned Parenthood? You think I’m going to say abortion, don’t you? I don’t actually need to say that since you’d have to be brain dead not to know that part. How about to Barack Obama’s re-election? Wait you say! Not us! We give my money to Planned Parenthood because women’s health is important. Our tax dollars should support this crucial organization. Well, don’t look now, but you look like the silver-haired matron of the abortion industry, Cecile Richards.

Actually, government grants and funding to Planned Parenthood in the last reported year 2009-2010 was $487.4 million—and so far $12 million from the non-profit has been given to re-elect President Obama. That’s right. This organization that cares so much about your cervix cares more about it’s proverbial booty.

Never before has the abortion provider spent so much money in an election, reports say. Neither has there been a precedent for the mother hen to leave her roost and go full time on the campaign trail, as Richards announced she’d be doing for Obama earlier this month. The woman who makes over $400K a year as the leader of the abortion provider has taken a break from her “day job” running the national death squad to campaign for the president. It’s clear who’s actually ruling the hen house.

As Planned Parenthood reports on its 2010 IRS Form 990, Richards made $420,153. Announcing on October 19th she’d be working full tome as a volunteer for Obama, the first inkling we might have is to demand she not take her salary for those few weeks. After all she isn’t working.

Oh wait.

If you recall, we pointed out recently that the real goal of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund is to raise money for political lobbying. So actually, spending $12 million in the election of the most pro-abortion candidate ever and going on the road to help win swing states actually is very much a part of Richards’ job.

And that, folks, is a key part of what’s wrong in our nation. When we give multiple millions to our leading abortion provider who then uses some of that to turn around and fund a campaign for that same government and go on the road to campaign for the leader who supports them, we have what resembles an inbred disease.

In reality working people don’t get to take three weeks off to volunteer for politicians that support their causes, not even ones who might keep their company funded. In all my years as a school teacher not one of my districts would have allowed me to go campaign for the governor who might give us more state funds. See, I would have been leaving my students. But at Planned Parenthood, it’s not about the real patients. Richards isn’t running a company that helps people but one that kills them, so don’t let her rhetoric and steel smile convince you. She is interested in making another $420,000 and in Planned Parenthood getting another $487,000,000. Those are a lot of zeroes. Let the reader understand.

A man’s (and woman’s) heart is revealed by the actions. And actions, Ms. Richards, speak louder than your words about caring about women’s health.

It sounds like those pink shoelaces and cleats that the NFL has been wearing is working out good for the Kenyan.

More people were shot last weekend in Chicago than have been murdered in Seattle all year, per David Workman at the Examiner.

Think about that next time you’re considering Chicago as a vacation or business destination.

This is why Guns Save Life has recommended our members, friends and families stay away from Chicago as a prudent means to reduce their likelihood of becoming the victim of violent crime.

There’s nothing worth dying for in Chicago.

They shouldn't be taxpayer funded in the first place!

I thought they were a not-for-profit charity 501C(3) type org.

Guess I thought wrong...
They must be a business.

Better yet taxpayer funded organizations should not be allowed.

Planned Rapehood would be more appropriate: never goes for the rapist, goes for the baby and politics of abortion.

The rapist is all too convenient for their industry, you see.

Technically speaking, it's their PAC (not taxpayer supported & a separate legal entity) not the 501(c)(3) doing this.

Some may see that as splitting hairs but there is a legal distinction/difference.
