Planned Parenthood Dumps Record Sum Into Midterm Elections For ‘The Health And Lives Of Pregnant People’ | Eastern North Carolina Now

    Planned Parenthood announced on Wednesday that it will spend $50 million in the midterm elections.

    The move comes after the Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the 1973 opinion which purported that abortion is protected under the Fourteenth Amendment of the Constitution, through its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization. As many states tighten regulations on abortion, Planned Parenthood executives are seeking to change the outcome of state and federal elections on behalf of "pregnant people" - a term used by activists as a nod to individuals identifying as transgender.

    "This is an election about power and control," Planned Parenthood Votes Executive Director Jenny Lawson said in a statement. "Should these out-of-touch politicians gain or stay in power, they will continue doing everything they can to ban all abortion, throw health care providers and pregnant people in jail, and endanger the health and lives of pregnant people across the country."

    The organization will use an "influx of support" that followed the end of Roe v. Wade to bankroll election efforts in Georgia, Nevada, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Arizona, North Carolina, New Hampshire, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Planned Parenthood branches will also run campaigns in Colorado, California, Maine, Ohio, and Florida.

    Planned Parenthood conducted 354,871 "abortion procedures" between October 2018 and September 2019, according to the group's most recent annual report, amounting to 972 abortions per day and 41 abortions per hour across the United States.

    "Big stakes require big investment, which is why this fall Planned Parenthood advocacy and political organizations will run our largest-ever electoral campaign to preserve and expand abortion access in as many states as possible," Lawson added. "From now until Election Day, we'll make sure voters know who's on their side and channel their dissent into political power at the ballot box."

    Earlier this year, Planned Parenthood was joined by NARAL Pro-Choice America and EMILY's List in announcing a $150 million midterm spending initiative. Though the Supreme Court had not yet issued its ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson, the organizations argued that the funds would help African Americans and Hispanics, who are particularly subject to "systemic barriers and abortion restrictions."

    Indeed, midterm election outcomes in many state legislature and gubernatorial races could allow Republican lawmakers to pass more abortion regulations. Yet beginning with the leak of Justice Samuel Alito's draft opinion on Dobbs v. Jackson in early May, several large corporations began announcing that they would pay travel expenses for employees seeking abortions in more left-leaning states.

    "Our company remains committed to removing barriers and providing comprehensive access to quality and affordable care for all of our employees, cast members and their families, including family planning and reproductive care, no matter where they live," executives from Disney said in a memo. The entertainment conglomerate employs 75,000 people in Florida, where Governor Ron DeSantis (R-FL) recently signed legislation banning abortions after 15 weeks gestation.

    Companies such as Goldman Sachs, JPMorgan Chase, Levi Strauss, Amazon, and Apple launched similar policies. Yelp Chief Diversity Officer Miriam Warren recently told CNN that her company's offering has been a "wonderful recruiting tool in terms of prospective employees saying, 'I want to work at a company that is out there and loud about what they believe in, and what they care about.'"

    Polls indicate that most Americans would prefer that abortion either be legal in most cases or illegal in most cases. Only 8% of the population concur that abortion should be illegal with no exceptions, according to Pew Research Center.

With Roe v Wade (originated in 1973) overturned by the US Supreme Court, thereby allowing decisions on abortion legislation completely returned to the states: Where do you find your position on such a "Life and Death" issue for the American People?
  Yes, I approve of the US Supreme Court's decision to reinstate this "medical" issue back to the states' legislative responsibility to regulate.
  No, I believe that every woman should have complete access to abortion on demand.
  This issue is far beyond my intellectual capacity to understand.

With respect to the leaked opinion not yet written for ratification regarding the U.S. Supreme Court's revisiting the original decision of Roe v Wade, whence now nonstop protests have erupted in neighborhoods where U.S. Supreme Court justices live, exhibiting the firm intent to intimidate these officers of the highest court in the land: What action should the federal authorities take?
  Do nothing ... Protests are a fixture of a free society.
  Enforce the law ... Federal codes exist to prohibit any intimidation through the pubic harassment of federal judges, especially Supreme Court justices.
  I have no idea, however, northern Virginia School Board Members must be shielded from protests at all costs.

Inarguably, the policies of the Democrats in congress and Joe Biden as the Executive is plunging the United States into a recession, if we are not already there; a recession that was completely avoidable. Will abrupt changes in policies occur in time?
  Yes, the Democrats have a bold plan, yet to be revealed, to save us.
  No, there will have to be a complete undoing of the damage done by these Democrats.
  I can't do simple math, so how am I to understand the concept of basic economics.

Those that worship satin use abortion for their abortion ritual.
"To prevent similar rulings, ministers for The Satanic Temple launched its Religious Reproductive Rights campaign Wednesday, declaring abortion as a sacred "religious ritual" in an attempt to circumvent state regulations on abortion by exerting religious freedom protections.
The letter also states that during the abortion procedure, the woman is to disregard any doubts she has and instead recite aloud by memory the Satanic Temple's third and fifth tenets. After the abortion, the woman is to recite the words: "By my body, my blood; by my will, it is done."
Essex claims that the satanic ritual and reciting the tenets aloud will help women feel empowered and "confident" and allay any regrets that they have."

Planned Parenthood, a thinly veiled abortion mill posing as a women's healthcare facility, receives over $500,000,000.00 each year from Congress, then gives $50,000,000.00 back to Democratic Socialist candidates in this midterm election, thereby giving the public's money to campaigns that only support murdering fetuses on demand.

How can this happen in a "nation of laws," where campaign donations must be legitimate or someone will charged with a felony?

How can any self-professed Christian man and woman vote for candidates that advocate for the destruction of God's greatest creation - humankind in His image?

Is hypocrisy the only ideal some people possess?

Can we at least agree that public money should NOT be spent on the dismemberment of unborn babies, with 10% "raked off the top" to dishonest and mostly ignorant politicians, which includes "The Big Guy"?
