CV NEWS FEED // Earlier this week, 40 Days for Life called on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to determine whether Planned Parenthood violated tax-exempt rules for nonprofits by offering free abortions via its mobile “health” clinic at the Democratic National Convention (DNC).
Nonprofits can’t be politically involved, the pro-life organization noted in its complaint to the IRS, which it filed electronically on August 20.
“Political campaigning substantially diverges from the permissible activities and could result in revocation of tax-exempt status and possible imposition of related excise taxes,” the complaint stated.
“This deployment by federally tax exempt organizations organized under I.R.C. Section 501(c)(3) in relation to a massive, nationwide political event gives rise to serious concerns about the potential infringement of the tax-exempt requirements,” it continued.
40 Days for Life highlighted that as a tax-exempt organization, Planned Parenthood must avoid any direct or indirect involvement in political campaigns that endorse or oppose candidates or platforms, particularly those for the President and Vice President of the United States.
According to the pro-life organization, Planned Parenthood’s actions, including advertising and providing free services at a political rally for one party and its candidates, suggest an endorsement of that party and its platform, which is a violation of restrictions on political activities for nonprofit organizations under I.R.C. Section 501(c)(3).
“Planned Parenthood’s stated activities …. fall squarely outside acceptable operations of a 501(c)(3) organization,” the complaint stated.
40 Days for Life argued that while the Hatch Act Advisory Opinion, dated July 14, 2020, suggests that using terms like “Black Lives Matter” by federal employees does not necessarily count as political activity, Planned Parenthood’s actions this August, which involve providing services at a political event, “are starkly different from permissible lobbying.”
“In conclusion, the IRS should assess whether Planned Parenthood’s activities violate the prohibitions against political activities and otherwise under Law and Rule,” 40 Days for Life’s complaint reads. “Political campaigning substantially diverges from the permissible activities and could result in revocation of tax-exempt status and possible imposition of related excise taxes.”
“IF?”
yeah...they will jump right on that request.....40 Days for Life is brave- keep that name in mind when regime kicks in their door for ripping a mattress tag off
Is there a more Orwellian name than “Planned Parenthood”?
As a tax-exempt organization, Planned Parenthood must avoid direct or indirect involvement in political campaigns that endorse or oppose candidates or platforms, particularly those for the President and Vice President of the United States. Planned Parenthood’s actions at the Democrats’ convention included:
<><>advertising
<><>providing services at a political rally using tax-exempt funds
<><>underlining its endorsement of one party and its platform,
<><>publicly embracing a political platform,
<><>conducting political activities using tax-exempt funds
P/P blatantly violated restrictions on political activities for nonprofit organizations under I.R.C. Section 501(c)(3). Planned Parenthood’s stated convention activities fall squarely outside acceptable operations of a 501(c)(3) organization.
Call Congress.

<><>mention state and zip for quick connection.
Message: Planned Parenthood’s actions at a plainly political event, violate prohibitions against political activities under non-profit Laws and Rules. P/P substantially diverged from permissible n/p activities. P/P’s tax-exempt status should be revoked and related excise taxes should be imposed.

Rules for Democrats and supporting individuals and agencies are enforced differently. Some 591(c) (3) are more equal than others.

This will be changed.
The DNC will say they were outside the DNC and on their own provided the service. I don’t think this would go very far. However, the can of worms would be that they’d say ok, now let’s look at churches discussing abortion.
Paging red fox, guard duty at the hen house.

Now the government will target 40 Days for Life.
Our local Conservababe, Vicki McKenna, was having a field day with this topic on her talk show last week.
Word is spreading.
Also, Babylon Bee is mocking PP for this (”Man thought he was in line for a food truck; accidentally gets a vasectomy!”), and they have a HUGE audience.
Socialist Democrat Ghouls!
P/P’s tax-exempt status should be revoked and related excise taxes should be imposed.
Here here call Congress ASAP
Go for it.
Got it covered thanks
Post 5-
Spot-on comments. Thanks.
Ding-a-ling Dem thought he was in line for a food truck; accidentally gets a PP vasectomy!
He got a “Mexican vasectomy”-—got enrolled in S/S
and collected disability $$benefits at the same time.
