What's this?

Are you talking about Planned Parenthood? Their non-profit arm receives

around 500 mil that is reimbursement for providing medical care to patients under medicaid and title x. None of that money is used to fund abortions and NONE of that is used for political advocacy. That is regulated to the segregated Planned Parenthood Action Fund and the Planned Parenthood Votes PAC---all of that money is raised from donations---NOT TAXPAYER MONEY. So, if you are referring to Planned Parenthood, you are 100% wrong.
