Planned Parenthood Makes Additional Endorsement for Arkansas House

Planned Parenthood has chosen to endorse Teresa Dannaway (D) for Arkansas House District 83, according to its website.

Planned Parenthood also recently endorsed Cortney McKee (D) for Arkansas House District 85.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider and a major proponent of transgender ideology. The organization has a history of endorsing and donating to candidates who share its values.

For example, in 2020 Planned Parenthood Federation announced it would spend at least $45 million in an effort to unseat pro-life lawmakers and elect pro-abortion candidates.

As part of that plan, the group used its political action committee in Arkansas to support several candidates for state and federal office.

However, since then, the abortion giant has been relatively quiet in Arkansas.

Early voting in Arkansas begins Monday, October 21, and Election Day is Tuesday, November 5.

Planned Parenthood Does Not Seem to be Hiring in Arkansas or Oklahoma at This Time

Above: Planned Parenthood’s facility in Rogers, Arkansas. Planned Parenthood often lists job openings for this location on its website. However, the facility does not appear to be hiring new staff at this time.

Planned Parenthood Great Plains does not appear to be hiring in Arkansas or Oklahoma at this time, and it has very few job listings posted in Missouri and Kansas.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider, and the organization’s regional affiliate — Planned Parenthood Great Plains — routinely posts job openings online for its facilities throughout Arkansas, Oklahoma, Missouri, and Kansas.

Over the years, Family Council has tracked these job listings and written about them, because they provide a window into Planned Parenthood’s operations.

It’s common for Planned Parenthood to list openings for positions such as CNA’s or office staff at its facilities in Little Rock, Rogers, Tulsa, or Oklahoma City. But right now, the only staff openings Planned Parenthood Great Plains seems to have are a few positions in the Kansas City area and in Wichita, Kansas.

This is the first time Family Council can recall in recent years that Planned Parenthood Great Plains did not have a single job opening listed in Arkansas or Oklahoma. This comes on the heels of Planned Parenthood’s announcement that it is closing and consolidating facilities in Missouri.

It may sound like good news that Planned Parenthood is closing facilities and apparently not hiring staff, but it’s important to remember that the organization still has abortion facilities within driving distance of Arkansas, Missouri, and Oklahoma.

Abortionists also increasingly are looking for ways to deliver abortion drugs by mail in states like Arkansas.

Even if the organization is not hiring staff in Arkansas or Oklahoma, it may still perform abortions on women from those states.

All of this underscores what we have said for years: It’s important to prohibit abortion through legislation — as Arkansas and other states have done. But we need to eliminate the demand for abortion as well.
