"Planned Parenthood's intention to spend millions of dollars to support
political candidates who favor legal abortion shows the need to speak
out more on the issue, pro-life groups say.
"'There are no
winners, except those making money by selling abortions, when Big
Abortion leader Planned Parenthood pours millions into America's
elections,' Lila Rose, the president of the pro-life group Live Action,
told Fox News Feb. 27.
"The abortion provider's political arms,
the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and the political action committee
Planned Parenthood Votes, have said they intend to spend more than $18
million on 2014 races....
"Kellyanne Conway, a Republican pollster who
has criticized the Republican Party's failure to counter attacks related
to abortion, told Politico that the party has been ignoring the issue.
"She said Planned Parenthood
has succeeded politically in part because Republicans do not defend
their views and do not hold Democrats accountable for their opposition
to popular legal limitations on abortion....
"The political branches of
the abortion provider plan to be active in at least 14 states. They are
targeting Senate races in North Carolina, Alaska and Montana as well as
governor's races in Pennsylvania [emphasis added], Florida and Texas, Politico reports" (Catholic News Agency, Planned Parenthood Election Spending Demands Response, Pro-lifers Say, 3/5/14)
