Planned Parenthood Will Spend $47 Million to Take Over Congress
Planned Parenthood Votes, the super PAC affiliated with the nation’s largest abortion company, is launching a more than $47 million campaign to take over Congress.
The abortion giant’s goal is defeating Republican lawmakers who voted to defund the abortion organization last year.
The spending, described as near-record for the group and second only to its $50 million outlay in 2022, will fund advertising and voter outreach in 10 battleground House races across seven states, as well as Senate contests in Maine and Michigan.

The effort targets Republicans who supported provisions in the 2025 bill that stripped Planned Parenthood’s Medicaid funding for one year — a cut amounting to roughly $700 million annually for the abortion corporation.
Sarah Standiford, executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes, said the group is responding directly to those votes.
“We’re in the fight of our lives,” she ironically stated, vowing to “elect unapologetic champions of reproductive freedom” and “make sure members of Congress who voted against Planned Parenthood lose their jobs.”
Among the specific targets are Maine Sen. Susan Collins, whose procedural vote to advance the defunding bill and prior confirmation vote for Justice Brett Kavanaugh drew scrutiny from abortion advocates.
In Michigan, the group is going after former Rep. Mike Rogers in the Senate race and House members Bill Huizenga and Tom Barrett.
Other House targets include Reps. Gabe Evans of Colorado, Mariannette Miller-Meeks of Iowa, Mike Lawler of New York, David Valadao of California, Brian Fitzpatrick and Ryan Mackenzie of Pennsylvania, and Juan Ciscomani of Arizona. The PAC is also focusing on the Arizona House seat vacated by Rep. David Schweikert, who is running for governor.
The campaign extends beyond federal races.
Planned Parenthood Votes plans additional spending in gubernatorial and state legislative contests in Georgia, New Hampshire, Nevada, Michigan and Arizona to protect abortion and break Republican trifectas in those states.
This announcement aligns with broader efforts by other pro-abortion organizations, including Reproductive Freedom For All (formerly NARAL), which separately revealed plans to spend a record $23.5 million on the midterms to flip battleground districts and advance unrestricted abortion nationwide.
