COLUMBUS, OH, November 2, 2012, (LifeSiteNews.com)—This morning, listeners of radio stations in Northern Virginia and in Columbus and Cleveland, Ohio started hearing a new ad from National Right to Life Committee explaining where Planned Parenthood gets nearly half of its $1 billion budget: from the pockets of American taxpayers.

Both Ohio and Virginia are considered toss-up states well within the margin of error in presidential polls.

Planned Parenthood’s political wing is heavily invested in the same radio markets, airing $500,000 worth of ads. In addition to Planned Parenthood’s millions in expenditures, its President Cecile Richards has taken a leave of absence to pursue a national speaking tour encouraging Americans to re-elect Barack Obama, the most pro-abortion president in history.

Obama, for his part, has aggressively campaigned on his support for abortion-on-demand and the “health care” provided by Planned Parenthood, frequently claiming Planned Parenthood performs “mammograms,” a service the abortion provider does not perform.

The verification for the NRLC ad’s claims are contained in its fact sheets: Planned Parenthood: Abortion, Planned Parenthood: Money, and Planned Parenthood: Politics.

You can listen to the radio spot here.

Below is the full text of the ad:

Woman: Planned Parenthood’s political arms are spending nearly TWELVE MILLION dollars trying to elect politicians who support giving Planned Parenthood more of your tax money. How can they spend nearly TWELVE MILLION for politics?

Planned Parenthood has an income of over ONE BILLION…YES BILLION…dollars a year. And they want more!

Where do they get all of that money? According to their own reports, Planned Parenthood gets over FOUR HUNDRED EIGHTY MILLION a year from government grants and reimbursements… your tax money. And there’s more!

Their own reports show Planned Parenthood performs over THREE HUNDRED TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND abortions a year. At an estimated $450 dollars per abortion, that’s more than ONE HUNDRED FORTY-FIVE MILLION dollars a year in…and 325,000 lives out.

And, by the way, they don’t do mammograms.

So Planned Parenthood spends millions to elect politicians who will give them millions.

But that’s just politics…at it’s worst.
