According to the most recent reports filed with the Secretary of State’s office, Planned Parenthood has been largely inactive in Arkansas’ political races this year.

As far as Family Council knows, the only 2022 political contribution Planned Parenthood’s PAC has made in Arkansas was $2,900 to Lisa Parks (D – Springdale) on January 31 in support of her campaign.

Planned Parenthood’s political action committee reportedly has a little over $12,000 that it could spend influencing elections in Arkansas this year.

On Thursday Planned Parenthood’s political action committee filed a report with the Secretary of State’s office showing the abortion giant engaged in no political campaigning in Arkansas during April, May, and June of this year.

So far the only electioneering Planned Parenthood has reported in Arkansas this year is $2,900 given to Lisa Carole Parks (D – Springdale) on January 31 in support of her special election campaign for State Senate District 7.

Parks lost that special election in February, but since then she has filed to run for State Senate in the 2022 general election this November.

Now that Roe v. Wade has been reversed and abortion policies can be set at the state level, many pro-lifers expect groups like Planned Parenthood to turn their attention toward influencing state elections.

Planned Parenthood’s political action committee reportedly has a little over $12,000 that it could spend influencing elections in Arkansas this year.

Planned Parenthood to Spend $16M on Pro-Abortion Advertising

Abortion, , , ,

This spring Planned Parenthood Federation and Planned Parenthood Action Fund announced it would spend a total of $16 million on pro-abortion paid media advertisements.

According to a press release, the multimillion dollar ad campaign will “educate and increase urgency around the abortion access crisis facing the country.” The ads reportedly are intended to reach minorities and young adults across the nation.

This is not the first time that Planned Parenthood has used its financial resources to promote its pro-abortion agenda.

In April, Family Council reported that Planned Parenthood has spent nearly $3,000 electioneering in Arkansas this year alone.

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

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

Despite significant, pro-life victories, Planned Parenthood remains active in Arkansas and elsewhere, and it could show more activity in the coming months.
