Planned Parenthood of Northern New England’s Maine-based Political Action Committee (PAC) this week spent $90,000 on online advertising spread across 38 different candidates running for the Maine House of Representatives this November.
According to filings with the Maine Ethics Commission, on Wednesday, Oct. 16, the Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund PAC made a $90,000 independent expenditure to GMMB, Inc., a Washington, D.C.-based Democratic political consulting and advertising firm.
The total $90,000 expenditure was spread evenly across a total of 38 candidates, with roughly $2,400 being spend per candidate.
The expenditure will go towards supporting a slate of 34 Democratic House candidates and two unenrolled candidates, Sharon Frost — running as an independent in House District 58 against Republican incumbent Rep. Daniel Newman — and Rep. Bill Pluecker, the independent incumbent running against Republican Ray Thombs Jr. in District 44.
The Planned Parenthood PAC also spent about $5,000 targeting two specific incumbent Republican House candidates, Rep. Laurel Libby of District 90, and Rep. Reagan Paul of District 37.
The abortion provider’s political spending arm also allocated nearly $2,400 to Rep. Paul’s Democratic opponent, Scott Cuddy, who is a major proponent of offshore wind power development on Sears Island and the Gulf of Maine.
The Planned Parenthood Maine Action Fund PAC has endorsed more than 100 candidates running for office in the Maine Legislature this election season.
“Anyone who tells you that voters don’t care about reproductive freedom and legal abortion is deeply disconnected from Maine voters and Maine values,” Lisa Margulies, vice president of public affairs for the PAC said in August.
“After Dobbs, Maine voters elected a pro-reproductive rights majority to represent us in the legislature, and a majority of those lawmakers acted to protect and expand access to care,” Margulies said. “We have strong laws, but those laws can be repealed depending on who represents us in Augusta.”
“This election, all of our rights are on the line. We must elect leaders who will protect abortion access and fight for our right to control our own bodies, lives, and futures,” Margulies added.
“After Dobbs, Maine voters elected a pro-reproductive rights majority to represent us in the legislature, and a majority of those lawmakers acted to protect and expand access to care,” Margulies said.
What a crock! The Left is slick at controlling the language. “Pro-reproductive rights” is a euphemism for baby killers who sell baby parts using taxpayer dollars. Legislators who voted for LD 1619, for example, are reprehensible.
Planned Parenthood wants the same thing Minnesota voted for…the ability to abort babies post birth. Kill baby kill. Under all circumstances we want those babies dead. Satan has total control of the Maine legislature and most definitely the governor. Evil is the word of the day. Just look at Angus King’s latest commercial. “Daddy, please make it so I can kill my baby no matter how many guys knock me up….please, please, please daddy”.
Killers
NRA doesn’t sell arms but planned parenthood does.
Gotta luv that Reagan Paul. As long as she stays true to her ideals, I will support her. There may be hope after all.
That king commercial cracks me up “government doesn’t belong in the doctors office” Oh would this be the same government that said if you didn’t get the shot you couldn’t work, contract, be in the military or government? Of course I meant only if you weren’t in congress because remember they exempted themselves. I wont forget king and neither should anyone else.
So if its my body my choice why the obscene taxes in tobacco? Guessing maybe its only my body when you need my vote.

Medicaid contribution amounts to %75 of PP’s funding. Your tax dollars at work.
Guess we should vote to limit PAC money?
So democrats will you please tell us again where planned parenthood of Maine got the money to donate to the democrat candidates in the first place .
This stuff will continue as long as democrats are in control of the state .
Vote them Out “ this “ election season . All of them . It’s YOUR money.
Years ago Planned Parenthood was about counciling and free birth control .
Today Planned Parenthood is about promoting abortions and selling fetal body organs and parts . I never asked to provide funding for these leftists . Now they are supporting the candidates I detest . Who is it that’s giving them my tax dollars ?
Wait… I thought they were broke since they aren’t “legally” allowed to sell parts anymore.
Why do they not tout Margaret Sanger anymore? Could it be because Planned Parenthood’s mission was to eliminate the undesirables? She was the one the Nazis went to, to help with their “problem”.
Moloch could not be happier with this bunch. 60 million babies habe been sacrificed at the altar of Planned Parenthood.
We live in a state that had a hearing on abortion where well over 90% of the people showed up to speak AGAINST Mills radical proposal, and Mills passed one of the most liberal laws for aborting a baby up to birth, and these AWFL women are still crying about their right to kill babies??? I don’t get it.
They know that if their candidates lose, they lose their massive income. Selling baby parts.
Planned Parenthood use to be called “The Negro Project”, the founder Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist. (One who is involved in Eugenics.)
Folks really need to study history.
