Planned Parenthood’s political arm in Wisconsin has been fined for failing to appropriately report nearly $120,000 in independent expenditures allocated in support of Democratic candidates Hillary Clinton and Russ Feingold during 2016 elections.

The Federal Election Commission (FEC) found discrepancies in Planned Parenthood Advocates of Wisconsin’s October 2016 report that claimed over $133,000 worth of expenditures on political candidates, an FEC report said.

Nearly $120,000 spent in August on Clinton and Democrat Feingold -- who tried but failed to unseat Republican Sen. Ron Johnson in 2016 -- were never shown in any previous 48-hour filing up until the October report, two months later when it was required.

The Planned Parenthood group reportedly spent $58,449.04 in support for Clinton and as much in support of Feingold. 

The group will have to pay a $5,850 fine for the wrongdoing, the Washington Free Beacon reported.

Nationwide, Planned Parenthood’s political arm went all-out for Clinton and other Democrats during the presidential election and Senate races in targeted states, spending $30 million in an effort to mobilize voters to support Democrats in 2016, the New York Times reported.

The Wisconsin-based group denied it purposely incorrectly submitted the filings, blaming the error on its filing staff that misunderstood the requirements set out by the FEC.

"This error was due to a misunderstanding of the requirements by filing staff, who mistakenly believed 48-hour reports were not required unless expenditures were made within 20 days of the election,” the group wrote to the FEC in August 2017.

"Staff has since been trained on all required reports and how to monitor aggregate amounts so that appropriate 48-hour reports will be made going forward, in addition to required 24-hour reports. Staff has created an internal memo on reporting so that any new staff filing reports will be appropriately trained before filing. This training has been added to a compliance checklist for election related processes,” it added.

Desperation met stupidity on the corner of bad luck and despair, and the democratic party was born.

Must be nice to have excess money to blow…New Check List for new staffers, that ought to do it…. Here’s a different slant for grins & giggles:

 

  • UnPlanned Parenthood political arm’s $120,000 should have been used on a better cause, like “Pet Adaption/No Kill Facilities”:

 How to use $120,000.00 more wisely….. As smart as, “World Over-Population” ?? (1960’s movement for US. tax dollars)

   At first, I was curious as to the Total Expense to operate & perform an abortion by a planned parenthood Clinic or affiliate facility. In other words, understanding the Clinic’s Average Cost to perform the abortion) Not so much wanting to know what the clinic charged these woman receiving the abortion, but what it actually cost the clinic.

 Nowhere could I find this number, of what makes up the “Bill of Materials Cost” understanding the cost to perform this procedure. Typically, all other businesses have a cost for a particular product or procedure... As we know, a BoM’s consist of Components of Cost such as, Labor, materials, overhead, insurance, property/rent, electricity and other fixed values/expenses, etc. making up the “total cost per procedure/product”.

 The reason for this exercise was to see how many abortions could have been performed by all this money wasted by Planned Parenthoods political arm. As best I can come up is to rely on “cost per abortion by patient” charged by the clinic’s and even that gets complicated by the time elapsed from last menstrual period to time of abortion. The $$$’s increase as time marches on..

Example: Living in Cherry Hill New Jersey: (I did not make up this Towns name)

 Price $450 for up to 12 weeks. With sedation $460. With general anesthesia $550. Abortion pill $500 (includes follow-up visit). Surgical abortion from 12-14 weeks $650; 14 weeks $695; 15 weeks $725; 16 weeks $850; 18 weeks $1,400; 20 weeks $2,200; 22 weeks $2,600; 24 weeks $3,000. 

 

So based upon the data I found at: www.abort73.com. Most abortions occur:

  • 89-92% of all abortions happen during the first trimester, prior to the 13th week of gestation (AGI/CDC).

 

So I will use the $550 Value from above Cost since it has the highest percentage number of abortions occurring during this time period of pregnancy.

  •  Planned Parenthood’s political arm in Wisconsin wasted $120,000 on Failed Candidates and missed opportunity to abort 218 potential Future Democrat voters. (Truly Wasted Money)

 

Those donors to DNC/political arm got gipped by Planned Parenthood’s liberal use of  someone else’s money who could have helped “Girls in trouble” clinics. Not burden those middle class tax payers who do not agree with abortion, nor the forced taxes toward it, via some other name or mysterious program.

Would it be easier for Democrats to understand the argument?, if it were funding $120,000.. to “Guns for Everyone Wanting One”?  Want One – Get One offering Tax payer assistance? And the beauty is, the funding programs will be called something else so you will never see the Direct tax payment, using a lattice work of programs chipping into it’s funding.

 Option 1 - Let it be privately funded. I myself do not want my taxes going to fund abortions or other programs I don’t agree with. My money is better utilized when I personally donate funds to such groups, as Animal Adoption/No Kill Facilities & not the Abortion Clinics which my tax dollars are currently forced to go into, indiscreetly and set up intentionally by our Federal Government policy makers from the past.

 My, how our Government love’s a Good Quagmire !!!
