On Tuesday Planned Parenthood’s political action committee in Arkansas filed reports with the Secretary of State showing no campaign activity in Arkansas from January through September.
Political action committees typically issue campaign endorsements and donate money to candidates and political causes.
Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and so far this year Planned Parenthood has endorsed two candidates running for the Arkansas House of Representatives. However, the abortion giant reportedly has not donated any money to candidates in the state.
Planned Parenthood has a history of using its political action committee to campaign for candidates in Arkansas who share its values.
In 2020 Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million working to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect candidates who support abortion. As part of that plan, the group used its PAC to support candidates for state and federal office in Arkansas.
However, since then, Planned Parenthood has been quiet in Arkansas. Right now the group’s PAC has a little less than $11,600 at its disposal.
