Since 2017, Planned Parenthood has contributed nearly $2.5 million to Democratic campaigns, and $0 to Republicans, according to VPAP, making it one of the Democrats’ largest sources of campaign financing.
Delegate Kathy Tran’s (D-Springfield) failed
But the devotion of these Virginia and New York lawmakers seems to actually be directed toward a very large donor to their campaigns — one which stands to gain a large windfall from the removal of restrictions on abortion and which has been working to expand abortion across the nation: Planned Parenthood.
The fetal tissue market is a major driver.
In 2015, the Center for Medical Progress recorded Planned Parenthood’s senior director of medical services, Dr. Deborah Nucatola, admitting that her organization wanted to become more heavily involved in offering late-term abortions. And it is Planned Parenthood dollars that support politicians like Northam and Tran.
According to CNS News, Planned Parenthood Advocates of Virginia, the abortion giant’s state advocacy arm, vowed to provide $3 million to the pro-abortion Governor in 2017. Voter contribution reports gathered by two organizations reveal that Planned Parenthood gave Gov. Ralph Northam closer to $2 million in 2017. VoteSmart.org indicates that Northam’s campaign received $1,976,881.07 from Planned Parenthood Virginia and $115,453.86 from Planned Parenthood Federation of America. Virginia Public Access Project shows nearly $150,000 was given to Northam by Planned Parenthood Action Fund.
Governor Northam was wined and dined as a guest at Planned Parenthood events, including the organization’s “Pink Ball.” In a video published by the abortion corporation’s DC affiliate, you can see the Governor posing at the event.
According to VoteSmart.org, Planned Parenthood of Virginia also gave $2,792.62 to the political campaign of Virginia State Rep. Kathy Tran, the sponsor of the late-term abortion proposal that would allow abortions up to 40 weeks, for any reason. Additional candidates were also funded, according to VPAP.
Governor Ralph Northam, Lieutenant Governor Justin Fairfax, and Attorney General Mark Herring, along with more than a dozen Democratic lawmakers, announced their intention to campaign on the failed abortion bill in the fall, pledging that it would become law next year.
Planned Parenthood contributed $1.996 million to Northam’s campaign over a five-year span, Big League Politics reports. This “may suggest why [Northam] gleefully endorsed the Virginia bill that would have made it legal for untrained individuals to perform abortions, and would have legalized the murder of children after their birth.
Senators currently sponsoring either version include the Shore’s Lynwood Lewis (D-Accomac).
About the Author
Well, I don’t know about any of the other readers out here, but when I make a political donation, it’s for $50 or $100 or whatever round # I choose to write a check for. When I see a donation made to a candidate that is well over a million dollars and yet goes down to the penny, I have to think about how the organization making the donation arrives at that figure. It took me about 1/2 a second to come to the conclusion that the democratic party gets a % of the profits from Planned Parenthood in each state and for each particular office depending on the amount of supported abortions and sales of body parts from that state/commonwealth/district. No wonder I’d rather support the eradication of ISIS than any of these democrats.
AGREE!!
Thank you, Wayne, for continuing to shine a light on this evil, although legal, practice. People need to educate themselves as to what politicians and political parties stand for, before they vote.
The fact that PP is funding virtually every Democrat politician and candidate is a MAJOR (though one of many) reason why the modern Democrat party is despicable. I believe that a huge percentage of folks that vote DO NOT take time or make the effort to learn about what their vote is supporting. People vote based on where the guy grew up or who he knows. Maybe that was ok a few decades ago, but today it often means the difference between good and evil. Any organization that promotes killing unborn and just born babies, and profiting from the sale of their body parts is EVIL. Wake up, America!
Sadly, they are not about to wake up.
Got their noses in their phone, checking on the latest utterances from some vacuous celebrity.
“Brave New Worlds” had Soma, we have I-phones.
Same, Same.
Waiting for Chas to opine on the wonderful benefits of baby killing.
