Among the
incredible factoids surrounding Democrat Jon Ossoff’s failed special election
run for Congress was the unprecedented amount of campaign money donated by
outside organizations. One donor that
stands out in particular is Planned Parenthood.
They were surpassed in generosity only by the Democratic
Congressional Campaign Committee.
In 2016,
Planned Parenthood donated a total of $689,548 to federal
candidates, including $9,613 to Hillary’s campaign for president. Although the organization donated to the
campaigns of 153 House members and 23 senators, only two were Republicans. 99% of Planned Parenthood donations went to
Democrats.
However, they
have outdone themselves this year.
Planned Parenthood donated $734,780 to a single campaign, Jon Ossoff’s. That’s $45,232 more than they donated to all
177 candidates for federal office in 2016.
PP also has a
“Super PAC”, which spent $14,309,107 in
2016. This money was used exclusively to
defeat Republicans, elect Dems and promote their causes. The organization should be renamed “Planned
Politicalhood”.
The question
is, why do the Republicans continue to approve over $500 million a year in
funding to an organization that overwhelmingly funds their political opponents
and actively works to remove them from office?
Not to mention that Planned Parenthood management makes a wonderful
income independently from private donations and the sale of barely used baby
parts.
The follow-up
question is, can the Republicans really be that stupid?
