Planned Parenthood and the Democratic Party: Joined at the Hip

From Tim Carney's Beltway Confidential:

Planned Parenthood spent more than $1 million electing Democrats last cycle


"Here's something to keep in mind as Democrats risk a government shutdown in order to preserve federal subsidies of Planned Parenthood. From the Center for Responsive Politics:


'In 2010, Planned Parenthood and a California affiliate together spent more than $700,000 on federal lobbying efforts, a Center for Responsive Politics analysis of federal lobbying records finds. By comparison, all other organizations that primarily advocate for abortion rights collectively spent $247,280 on federal lobbying efforts during the same period, according to the Center's research.'"
