Given Planned Parenthood’s opposition to protecting babies inside and outside the womb, it is no wonder that pro-abortion politicians in the Senate (all of whom are Democrats except Sanders, who is an Independent), rushed to do the bidding of Planned Parenthood in voting against protecting infants who survived botched abortions.
An analysis of Planned Parenthood’s influence over those 44 Senators who opposed bringing the the Born-Alive Abortion Survivors Protection Act shows that all of those Senators (except one for whom we could find no documentation), had either been endorsed by or financially supported by Planned Parenthood or the corporation’s political arm. And yes, this includes every Democratic presidential hopeful.
