The biggest abortion-provider in the U.S. is gearing up to protect its own interests in the next federal election cycle with big bucks, making it just that much more important for pro-life Americans to vote.

Planned Parenthood is setting aside $20 million to spend on the 2016 election in the hopes of helping Hillary Clinton – or some other Democratic presidential candidate – to be elected, as well as enough pro-abortion legislators to take over Congress.

“We’re launching ‘I Vote Planned Parenthood Action.’ We’ll organize and mobilize to elect lawmakers who are in our corner,” said Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards in a promotional video.

American Life League's Jim Sedlak says Planned Parenthood has high stakes of over $500 million in government funding to protect.

“... It is absolutely crazy that Planned Parenthood, which receives over half a billion dollars in government money, is now going to spend $20 million to protect that $500 million,” he says. “That the laws in this country would allow such a thing to happen is just totally wrong.”

The money will be used to regain the losses Planned Parenthood has suffered to its reputation and from political and legal life-affirming decisions made in the past year. Future funding for Planned Parenthood is safe only if it can keep leaders in government who will in turn keep the abortion giant under their wing.

“Planned Parenthood knows that the only reason they are still getting government money is because they have gotten the right person elected president of the United States, and they have gotten enough senators elected to block the pro-life action in the Senate,” Sedlak tells OneNewsNow. “And that's what they're saying they want to do again."

Pro-life activist organizations don't receive any government money, meaning their political action committees will have to raise their own funds to have an impact. Otherwise there will be an imbalance in funds that can influence voting through campaigns and support.

Sedlak emphasizes that the situation makes it all the more crucial for pro-life voters to show up at the polls in November 2016.
