Planned Parenthood PAC Reports No Arkansas Activity During Final Quarter of 2025

Abortion, , , ,

Planned Parenthood’s most recent political action committee report shows the organization did not spend any money campaigning in Arkansas during the final three months of 2025.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortionist. In 2024, the group endorsed two candidates running for the Arkansas House of Representatives. 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 political action committee in Arkansas to support candidates for state and federal office.

Planned Parenthood’s website says its 2026 candidate endorsements for Arkansas are “coming soon.”

However, Planned Parenthood has spent no money campaigning in Arkansas so far this election cycle. That’s a good thing.

Planned Parenthood’s PAC has roughly $11,400 at its disposal right now. It remains to be seen what role the organization will play in Arkansas in the coming months.

Court Clears Way for Trump to Defund Planned Parenthood

On December 12, a federal appeals court handed the pro-life movement a major victory. The court ruled that the Trump administration can strip Planned Parenthood of its Medicaid funding.

The First Circuit Court of Appeals overturned a lower court’s injunction that had blocked a key provision in Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill” preventing taxpayer dollars from going to abortionists through Medicaid. The provision effectively defunds Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest abortion business.

Planned Parenthood had argued the law violated their constitutional rights, but the court said Congress is free to decide how to spend taxpayer dollars.

Judge Gelpí explained that the law doesn’t punish Planned Parenthood for past actions. Instead, it simply gives them a choice: Stop doing abortions and keep getting taxpayer money, or keep aborting unborn children and lose the funding.

Planned Parenthood has claimed the funding cut could force them to close as many as 200 facilities.

In Arkansas, abortion is generally prohibited except to save the life of the mother, and the state cut ties with abortionists like Planned Parenthood many years ago.

The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that states are not required to fund abortionists, and the Arkansas Legislature and the governor have both blocked Planned Parenthood and its affiliates from receiving public tax dollars.

Planned Parenthood Great Plains still operates facilities in Little Rock and Rogers, but neither one performs abortions.

However, reports also show Planned Parenthood may be spending millions of dollars to help women cross state lines for abortion, and news outlets have highlighted how pro-abortion states are protecting abortionists who ship abortion drugs across the country. Those are serious concerns.

But the court ruling is still good news for Arkansas. It shows that Congress has the power to direct taxpayer funding away from abortionists, and it helps underscore that Arkansas lawmakers were right to defund Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood Still Pushing its Failed Sex-Education Agenda

Sex Education,

Planned Parenthood is still pushing its sex-education agenda despite past failures.

The abortion giant recently took to Facebook, saying “Sex Education Shouldn’t Be Political” and claiming “Research shows that evidence-based sex education gives young people the information and skills they need to grow up safe and healthy.”

Arkansas has been down this road before, and we know from experience that Planned Parenthood’s comprehensive sex-education does not work.

In the 1980s and 1990s, public officials in Arkansas promoted comprehensive sex-education, but the programs failed to have a meaningful impact on teen pregnancy and abortion in the state.

But in 1997 the Arkansas Legislature and Governor Mike Huckabee began promoting abstinence education in Arkansas.

From 1997 to 2005, Arkansas’ teen birthrate decreased 17%, and Arkansas’ teen abortion rate plummeted a staggering 48%.

Governor Huckabee’s abstinence education model was so successful in Arkansas that it drew national recognition.

Family Council was pleased to support Arkansas’ good abstinence education program. The program continued into the early 2000s, but was gradually scaled back as a result of budget cuts and changes in state and federal government.

After President Obama’s election in 2008, the Obama Administration gave Planned Parenthood millions of dollars in funding for “evidence based” teen pregnancy prevention programs.

Experts later found students who went through Planned Parenthood’s sex-education program were often more likely to become pregnant or cause a pregnancy afterwards.

In other words, Planned Parenthood’s multimillion dollar sex-education program did exactly the opposite of what it was intended to do.

Those are just some of the reasons Family Council opposes Planned Parenthood’s approach to comprehensive sex-education.
