How did the Dobbs decision affect Planned Parenthood Action Fund spending?
Planned Parenthood Action Fund's federal political spending surged after the June 2022 Supreme Court Dobbs decision overturned Roe v. Wade. The 2022 and 2024 cycles each exceeded $50 million in combined federal and state-level political spending — a multiple of pre-Dobbs cycle totals.
Does Planned Parenthood Action Fund support Republicans?
