[Daily Caller] Planned Parenthood announced it will spend $20 million dollars in states with upcoming Senate and governor races where Democrats are likely to win, in order to make its spending as effective as possible."Reproductive rights and health is at stake in this country and has been at stake for years, but especially this year," Planned Parenthood Action Fund Director Deirdre Schifeling said Thursday, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.
Schifeling’s statement comes after Planned Parenthood announced the launch of an aggressive initiative intended to expand abortion access across every state in America. "Today, we’re going on the offense. We’ve been marching, mobilizing, and organizing ‐ and now we’re channeling that into real policy change," Planned Parenthood Executive Vice President Dawn Laguens said, officially announcing the abortion organization’s initiative launch in mid-February.
When it launched the campaign, Planned Parenthood indicated most of its time would go toward energy and money in Alaska, Arizona, California, Hawaii, Kansas, Maine, Michigan, Missouri, New Jersey, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, Tennessee, West Virginia and the District of Columbia.
