Planned Parenthood Abortion Biz Gets $540 Million of Your Tax Dollars, It’s Spending $30 Million to Take Over Congress

There are plenty of Americans who’d hoped Planned Parenthood would be saying goodbye to a lot more than Cecile Richards this spring. As far as they’re concerned, the only thing better would be to see the group wave farewell to their $540 million in taxpayer dollars.

Hours before Tax Day, Richards’s group made the mistake of reminding everyone where their dollars are going. While most Americans hurry to file their paperwork, Planned Parenthood is already deciding how to spend their share. After sinking hundreds of thousands of dollars into a losing effort in Illinois, the nation’s largest abortion business is hoping to make a big splash in three other states.

And while her accountants use every possible trick to keep the monies separate, there’s something fundamentally wrong with our system.
