Life News
Planned Parenthood and other pro-abortion groups have long envied the grassroots power of the pro-life movement.
Now, the nation’s largest abortion chain is trying to buy its own grassroots base, starting with half a million dollars.
BuzzFeed News reports Planned Parenthood just kicked off a campaign to set up 600 volunteer-led teams to promote abortion across the United States. Each team in the abortion group’s “pink army” will be located near one of its 600-plus facilities, according to the group.
Here’s more from the report:
The new organizing project, seeded with an initial $500,000, begins in September with four regional “bootcamps,” where 1,000 hand-picked volunteers will undergo intensive training, return home with new organizing tools, and form the basis of an effort that Planned Parenthood officials believe is “unlike any other than we’ve ever made.”
That’s how Planned Parenthood’s national organizing director Kelley Robinson described the decision to invest in a nationwide network led entirely by volunteers, focused on building “intersectional” local campaigns to “protect and promote” women’s health. (The $500,000 will be a joint investment made by the Planned Parenthood Federation of America and its linked political arm, Planned Parenthood Action Fund.)

According to the abortion group, these teams will be heavily involved in political advocacy at the local, state and national level. One pro-abortion organizer told the liberal news site that they are gearing up with “lots of pink materials, including shirts” to become a “pink army” of abortion activists.
