Planned Parenthood Targets Vulnerable GOP Senators With $2 Million Ad Campaign
http://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/planned-parenthood-gop-senate_us_57feca23e4b05eff558175a0?section=§ion=us_politicsPlanned Parenthood’s political arm on Thursday will release a series of ads targeting four Republican senators in tough re-election races who have supported defunding the health services nonprofit.
The ads attack Sen. Richard Burr (R-N.C.), Sen. Kelly Ayotte (R-N.H.), Rep. Joe Heck (R-Nev.) and Sen. Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) for their record on women’s health issues. All four targets of Planned Parenthood Votes and Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s campaign face strong challenges from Democrats.
“Each one of these Republican Senate candidates has voted to defund Planned Parenthood and staked out positions that threaten millions of women across this country,” Deirdre Schifeling, the executive director of Planned Parenthood Votes, said in a press release. “Not only is this agenda dangerous, but it is incredibly unpopular.”
