Planned Parenthood is investing a near-record $47 million into the November midterm elections aiming to unseat the Republicans who voted to cut off the organization from federal funding last year.
The “We Decide” campaign from Planned Parenthood Votes — an independent Super PAC affiliated with Planned Parenthood — will target ads and voter outreach in battleground House races in Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.
The funding will also go toward key Senate races in Michigan, where Democrats are likely running against former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers, and potentially Maine, even though Sen. Susan Collins (R) voted against the underlying bill that cut Planned Parenthood funding.
Still, Collins voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was the crucial vote on overturning Roe v. Wade.
The scope of the involvement in Maine is yet to be determined after embattled Democratic Senate candidate Graham Platner said he was suspending his campaign. There are several candidates jockeying to replace him, and the state Democratic Party has until July 27 to decide who will be the standard-bearer.
The midterm push from Planned Parenthood comes after congressional Republicans banned the organization from receiving Medicaid funding for a year as part of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act.
The provision expired last weekend, allowing Planned Parenthood to regain access to hundreds of millions of dollars, but not before nearly 30 clinics were forced to close.
“We are ambitious, because really it’s an existential moment. This is a time where voters have an opportunity to take back our right to decide, our lives and our future state by state, and that really requires a scale of impact that is significant,” said Sarah Standiford, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes.

Prime example of dark money contributions that the Dem☭crat party claims they want to stop.
Why do we fund PP again?
Planned Parenthood is a tax exempt non-profit.
It also gets taxpayer funds.
Yet, it funds political campaigns.
Someone in the know, please explain.
Planned Abortion uses taxpayer money to kill babies and fund rats.
Whatever they decide to do, Casey Anthony will be there for them as an activist.
Interesting amount. You'd think they'd try for another mil, or cut it off at 46 mil, just to avoid that value.

$47 million confiscated from Republican taxpayers.
To kill babies, of course.
Connecticut Governor claimed we did not have enough money to man the CT tent on the National Mall, but just gave PP millions.
"Hmmm, we can either do something patriotic for the 4th of July, or kill more babies...."
Satan never sleeps.
Poor suffering American taxpayer’s hard-earned bux being spent by baby murders so they can murder even more babies!
CONGRESS! GET OFF YOUR ASS AND DEFUND THE BABY KILLERS!
PERMANENTLY!
Planned Parenthood targets vulnerable Republicans with $47 million midterm push
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
As a side note to this thread, please consider the following.
The misguided, post-17th Amendment voters running Planned Parenthood unsurprisingly don't seem to understand that the states have never amended the Constitution to expressly protect the elite Democratic and RINO politically correct, vote-winning "right" to murder unborn children.
In fact, 16th Amendment-facilitated taxpayer dollars for Planned Parenthood have always been unconstitutional and should have stopped immediately when anti-Trump Supremes overturned Roe v. Wade if it weren't for the problem that voters keep reelecting the Constitution-ignoring, pro-abortion crooks that they send to DC.
I thought we cut them off.
Only for one year — PP was automatically re-funded on July 4th.
That is, PP can resume billing Medicaid as of 4 July for certain “services.”
Insane. Thanks Rinos
These are not sophisticated money laundering operations. A good private sector forensic accountant could find it easily. Our government investigators are ass.
Only partially and only for 1 year set to expire. We’re funding our own demise.
