Planned Parenthood’s PAC Shows No Activity in Arkansas, $15K+ In The Bank

On Tuesday Planned Parenthood’s political action committee for Arkansas — Planned Parenthood Great Plains Votes Arkansas — filed it quarterly report with the Secretary of State’s office.

The report indicates that Planned Parenthood’s PAC did not receive any donations from April – June and conducted no activities in Arkansas during that time.

Planned Parenthood’s previous reports for 2021 showed no activity as well.

Political action committees donate money to candidates and political causes.

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.

Four of the candidates Planned Parenthood endorsed — Rep. Denise Ennet (D – Little Rock), Rep. Tippi McCullough (D – Little Rock), Sen. Clarke Tucker (D – Little Rock), and Rep. David Whitaker (D – Fayetteville) — won their elections.

The latest reports show Planned Parenthood’s PAC currently has $15,096.65 that it could use to impact elections in Arkansas in the future.

Planned Parenthood was among the most vocal opponents of pro-life legislation at the Arkansas Legislature this year. Despite their opposition, Arkansas’ lawmakers passed 14 good, pro-life laws. Those laws are slated to take effect later this month.  Arkansas is the most pro-life state in America. And public opinion polling shows Arkansans do not support abortion on demand.

Planned Parenthood is Hiring in Bentonville

Last week we reported that Planned Parenthood posted a job listing for a Health Center Manager in Northwest Arkansas’ Bentonville area.

On Wednesday Planned Parenthood posted a second job listing in the Bentonville area — this time for a Reproductive Health Assistant.

Planned Parenthood is the nation’s largest abortion provider. The group currently operates abortion facilities in Little Rock and Tulsa — both within driving distance of Northwest Arkansas.

Planned Parenthood operated an abortion facility for several years in Fayetteville. However, the facility closed in 2019 after its landlord reportedly opted not to renew the group’s lease.

Planned Parenthood has not released any new statements about its efforts to reopen in Northwest Arkansas. But the fact that the group is hiring staff in the Bentonville area raises questions about whether Planned Parenthood is in the process of putting a facility there.

Bayer Gives Planned Parenthood Clinic in Little Rock $40K Grant

Bayer has awarded a $40,000 grant to the Planned Parenthood facility in Little Rock, according to statements from Planned Parenthood and Bayer.

The grant is being awarded through a partnership between Bayer and the organization Direct Relief.

According to Planned Parenthood, the abortion facility in Little Rock will receive $40,000 “to fund innovative projects in 2021, focused on expanding reproductive and sexual health care and education” in Arkansas.

Planned Parenthood reports that the money will fund “transformative pilot programs” in Arkansas and Indiana, and that the program in Arkansas will focus on transportation — presumably transporting women to and from Planned Parenthood’s abortion facility on Aldersgate Road.

Pro-life Arkansans routinely pray outside Little Rock’s abortion facilities — including the Planned Parenthood facility. If you would like to be part of this rewarding ministry, call our office at (501) 375-7000, and we will connect you with the volunteers who lead this effort.
