| Planned Parenthood Gave Politicians More Funds in Single Year Than NRA Did in Entire Decade |
| 2017-11-05 |
| The Federalist co-founder Sean Davis made a Washington Post article playing up the NRA’s donations to members of Congress look pretty silly with one simple tweet in early October. The Post’s story detailed where roughly $3.6 million in NRA political donations have gone in the past few decades. However, Davis pointed out that Planned Parenthood’s political donations from last year alone absolutely dwarf that number. “Reporter uses basic division on above tweet and you won’t believe what happens next,” Twitchy posted on Tuesday, calling out the article for being a bit overwrought. “Since 1998, the NRA has donated $3,555,194 to current members of Congress,” The Post contributor Kyle Griffin tweeted, with a link to the story. “Find out here who has received donations.” Davis replied: “A whopping $190,000/year spread out across 400+ races, huh? Planned Parenthood spent $38 million just last year.” |

| #6 Money laundrying Democratic lawmakers give money to PP, PP gives the money BACK in the form of "contributions." Nice little racket, similar to what the public employee unions do all over the US. |

| #1 The NRA could give considerably more to political causes if a large portion of it's budget (like Planned Parenthood) were FEDERALLY FUNDED. Planned Parenthood is essentially a "medical benefits" money laundering shell game for the democratic party. The highly successful Planned Parenthood services and entitlement scheme became the prototype for Obamacare. Efforts to cut Federal Funding to both have been met with strong opposition from the left, and for good reason. |
