Planned Parenthood action fund to spend $3.2 million to “influence” female voters in Ohio and Virginia

Planned Parenthood action fund to spend $3.2 million to “influence” female voters in Ohio and Virginia

Gallup is reporting that when it comes to male voters, Romney leads Obama by eight percentage points. But when it comes to female voters, Obama leads Romney by eight points.

The Planned Parenthood Action Fund is working to help Obama in two battleground states by spending $3.2 million on TV ads in Virginia and Ohio. These ads “will likely emphasize Romney’s support for overturning Roe v. Wade, the court decision establishing a right to an abortion, and his pledge to eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood.”

These new ads show that Planned Parenthood Action Fund views the Romney/Ryan ticket as a threat to abortion on demand and the Planned Parenthood agenda.

Dear Reader,

Every day in America, more than 2,800 preborn babies lose their lives to abortion.

That number should break our hearts and move us to action.

Ending this tragedy requires daily commitment from people like you who refuse to stay silent.

Millions read Live Action News each month — imagine the impact if each of us took a stand for life 365 days a year.

Right now, we’re urgently seeking 500 new Life Defenders (monthly donors) to join us before the end of October. And thanks to a generous $250,000 matching grant, your first monthly gift will be DOUBLED to help save lives and build a culture that protects the preborn.

Will you become one of the 500 today? Click here now to become a Live Action Life Defender and have your first gift doubled.

Together, we can end abortion and create a future where every child is cherished and every mother is supported.

The director of national organizing and electoral campaigns at Planned Parenthood Action Fund, Deirdre Schifeling, explains:

We have purchased ad time in northern Virginia, in Columbus, Ohio, and Toledo, Ohio, because they have high concentrations of undecided voters or swing voters.

We’re going to layer that with mail, phone, door-to-door canvassing and a significant online buy.

We are very focused also on swing women likely voters.

The Obama campaign also announced a “Romney/Ryan: Wrong For Women” tour, which started Saturday in Las Vegas.
