Planned Parenthood’s political action committee in Arkansas conducted virtually no activity during the first three months of 2023, according to financial reports filed last week.

Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes Arkansas serves as the abortion giant’s political action committee in the state. The organization donates to candidates and causes that align with Planned Parenthood’s agenda.

In a report filed Thursday, the political action committee indicated it had no activity in Arkansas from January to March of this year, other than minor administrative activity.

The PAC currently has $12,075.90 on hand that it could give to candidates ahead of the 2024 elections.

Now that Roe v. Wade has been reversed and abortion is prohibited in Arkansas except to save the life of the mother, groups like Planned Parenthood are turning their attention toward state elections and legislation.

With that in mind, Planned Parenthood could use its PAC in Arkansas to try to influence public policy or public opinion on abortion in the coming months.
