Five Candidates Funded by Planned Parenthood in 2018 & Why it Should Be Defunded

Under the guise of ‘women’s health’, these 5 Democrat candidates (and many more) were funded and supported by Planned Parenthood, the organization that borderlines on commiting infanticide (and supports candidates who advocate for it like the embattled Virginia Democrat Governor Ralph Northam).

This article here shows that while abortions overall are down over recent years, Planned Parenthood is horrifically bucking that trend.

One thing you will notice is how hard it is to actually find the abortion statistics in Planned Parenthood’s own annual report shown here. I went ahead and scoured through the pages and found that number for you. 332,757 abortions were carried out by the organization in 2018.

Planned Parenthood has consistently maintained that federal money received by Planned Parenthood is not used to fund abortion services, but pro-life activists have argued that the federal funding frees up other resources that are, in turn, used to provide abortions.

In fact, the biggest source of Planned Parenthood’s total Revenue is the US taxpayer. This begs the question then of ‘why is Planned Parenthood allowed to offer abortions?’, and additionally, have influence in the political sphere? Planned Parenthood clearly has a conflict of interest and needs to be defunded unless these issues are resolved.

The following federal congressional representatives are all under the influence so to speak, of this organization.

Tom O’Halleran, representative in Arizona’s first congressional district, accepted $4,100 from Planned Parenthood.

Harley Rouda, the representative in California’s forty eighth congressional district, accepted $4,600 from Planned Parenthood.

Radical leftist Abigail Spanberger, who barely beat Freedom Caucus member and incumbent Dave Brat for Virginia’s seventh congressional district seat, accepted $4,325 from Planned Parenthood.

Abby Finkenauer, the representative for Iowa’s first congressional district, accepted $9,000 from Planned Parent Parenthood. She is very much endorsed by them as can be seen in the tweet below.

Colin Allred, the representative for Texas’ thirty-second congressional district, accepted $7,907 from Planned Parenthood.

All figures shown above for candidates are from the 2018 election cycle.

Regardless of where you may stand on political issues, most of the country agrees that radical third trimester and partial birth abortions area bad idea. Additionally, it is appalling that some have even called for infanticide such as Virginia’s apparent racist and radical left-wing Governor. We the people need to look at candidates like these more closely and put the pressure on them.

This pressure is crucial in swing district races like the ones listed above. A better-informed voter base could have changed any one of these races if the real facts about Planned Parenthood were better known. Education and research is always key when the voter makes their final choice.

They must know that they work for the people who put them in office, not special interest groups who sell babies body parts for profit.
