Parenthood Begins Campaign for Pro-Abortion Votes Seeking to bring more pro-abortion voters to the polls this November, Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion promoter and provider, has begun a million-dollar campaign called “One Million Strong.” The Planned Parenthood Action Fund pledged at least $10 million to the effort during a press conference January 22, the anniversary of Roe v. Wade. “In addition to identifying, mobilizing and bringing one million voters to the polls, the One Million Strong Campaign aims to elect a pro-choice president and keep women’s health issues a priority in the campaign and the next administration,” the Planned Parenthood Action Fund said in a press release. Claiming that “one in four American women visits a Planned Parenthood health center sometime during her lifetime,” the pro-abortion group contends that it has a captive audience in its “health centers” to spread the anti-life election message. Planned Parenthood claims that it has five million clients and a database of four million supporters that it will target before the presidential election, according to the Philadelphia Evening Bulletin. “Women voters and young adults already trust Planned Parenthood’s health information,” the statement added, “and this year they’ll be able to rely on the Planned Parenthood Action Fund for election information.” The Action Fund used its announcement of the campaign to trumpet the pro-abortion orthodoxy of both major Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama. “Both senators are pro-choice champions and have a 100 percent pro-choice voting record from Planned Parenthood,” according to the press release. NRLC Director of Education Dr. Randall K. O’Bannon has closely followed PPFA for many years. He told NRL News, “For a group claiming that abortion is not a major part of their business and saying that health care shouldn’t be tainted by politics, they sure seem to invest a lot of time and money working to get pro-abortion politicians elected.” |
