For an organization that promotes itself as a non-partisan health care group, Planned Parenthood shows a lot of interest in politics, specifically in influencing elections with money.
2016 has set new precedents of political involvement for the abortion business, with Hillary Clinton receiving Planned Parenthood’s endorsement before the Democratic primary was even over – the first time the abortion giant has endorsed a primary candidate in its history. In addition to endorsing candidates like Clinton, who support overturning the Hyde Amendment (in order to use taxpayer dollars to directly fund abortions), Planned Parenthood is also spending tens of millions of dollars to oppose the campaigns of those who do not agree with their extreme agenda of abortion on demand.

Mr. Daleiden, who spearheaded the undercover Center for Medical Progress video series, made a public records request in February for documents detailing transactions between the university’s Birth Defects Research Center and Planned Parenthood. The university had planned to release the documents Friday, but Planned Parenthood filed a federal class-action lawsuit two days earlier to suppress their release.
