Planned Parenthood targets vulnerable Republicans with $47 million midterm push

Planned Parenthood is investing a near-record $47 million into the November midterm elections aiming to unseat the Republicans who voted to cut off the organization from federal funding last year.

The “We Decide” campaign from Planned Parenthood Votes — an independent Super PAC affiliated with Planned Parenthood — will target ads and voter outreach in battleground House races in Arizona, California, Colorado, Iowa, Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin.

The funding will also go toward key Senate races in Michigan, where Democrats are likely running against former GOP Rep. Mike Rogers, and potentially Maine, even though Sen. Susan Collins (R) voted against the underlying bill that cut Planned Parenthood funding.

Still, Collins voted to confirm Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, who was the crucial vote on overturning Roe v. Wade.
