 Planned Parenthood plots largest-ever campaign blitz in 2014Published February 27, 2014FoxNews.com                               Sept. 5, 2012: Cecile Richards, president of Planned Parenthood Federation of America, addresses the second session of the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte, N.C.Reuters
 Anti-abortion lawmakers, beware. Planned Parenthood's political operations are planning their largest-ever campaign blitz for this year's midterm and gubernatorial elections, poised to pour millions into key races that could determine who controls Congress.
The group's political arm has in the past bought up gobs of campaign-season airtime to attack social conservatives as "extreme." Their track record is mixed, but the abortion provider played at least some role in the defeat last year of Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia.  Counting what Planned Parenthood spent in that race, the organization is planning to spend more than $18 million this cycle.
The spending largely would come from Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes, a super PAC. The sum would easily make them among the highest-spending outside Democratic players in this year's elections.
The numbers, confirmed by Fox News, were first reported by Politico. The plans suggest that Democrats' rallying cry in 2012 that Republicans were waging a "war on women" will return in some fashion this year -- as groups like Planned Parenthood hammer abortion rights, women's health and other issues on the airwaves.
 
"The bottom line is: Many of these races are going to be determined by women and women voters," Cecile Richards, president of the Planned Parenthood Action Fund, told Politico. "To the extent that we still have politicians who are running on a platform to repeal women's access to health care and women's rights, that's a losing proposition. ... We will absolutely be on the offense on these issues."
 
The groups plan to spend in at least 14 states, including in competitive Senate races like those in Alaska and North Carolina. The Senate is the big battlefield this year, as Republicans need to gain just six seats to gain the majority -- and Democrats are planning to fight hard to hold their ground.
Planned Parenthood itself has been a perennial target of Republicans, and friction between the GOP and the abortion provider is substantial.
 GOP lawmakers have fought in the past to strip ObamaCare grant money for Planned Parenthood outfits, and defund the group entirely. Republicans also blasted the "war on women" cry as overblown, and at times hypocritical.
 
Lila Rose, president and founder of anti-abortion group Live Action, said Planned Parenthood's plans to spend millions on the elections should fuel calls to strip taxpayer funding for the group.
"There are no winners, except those making money by selling abortions, when Big Abortion leader Planned Parenthood pours millions into America's elections," she said in a statement.
Democrats still retain the advantage among women voters, something Planned Parenthood surely aims to build on. Exit polls showed Obama won 55 percent of the women vote in 2012.
 
Planned Parenthood spent nearly $12 million in 2012, according to the Center for Responsive Politics -- mostly from Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes. More than half of that went toward opposing candidates.
According to Politico, Planned Parenthood plans to get involved in Texas, where abortion-rights crusader Wendy Davis is running for governor. The campaign reportedly will begin with digital ads in Texas, as well as North Carolina and Alaska.

Maybe everyone else understands their financing

In the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011, total(consolidated) revenue was $201 million: clinic revenue totaling $2 million, grants and donations of $190 million, investment income of $2 million, and $7 million other income.  Approximately two-thirds of the revenue is put towards the provision of health services, while non-medical services such as sex education and public policy work make up another 16%; management expenses, fundraising, and international family planning programs account for most of the rest.

Planned Parenthood receives about a third of its money in government grants and contracts. By law, federal funding cannot be allocated for abortions.

Planned Parenthood is also funded by private donors, with a membership base of over 700,000 active donors whose contributions account for approximately one quarter of the organization's revenue. Large donors also contribute a substantial portion of the organization's budget; past donors have included the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, Buffett Foundation, Ford Foundation, Turner Foundation, the Cullmans and others. The Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's contributions to the organization have been specifically marked to avoid funding abortions. Some, such as the Buffett Foundation, have supported reproductive health that can include abortion services.

I can only imagine and shudder at the thought of how far into the toilet this country would be if all them liberal women had actually produced offspring instead of terminating them.  I would strongly urge Planned Parenthood to redouble their efforts to sterilize all liberal women--and men.  This may be the last best hope to save mankind.
