Pro-abortion groups like Planned Parenthood claim to be champions for the underprivileged, but the reality is that they are largely backed by the “1 percent” – the richest people in the world.
A new report from Inside Philanthropy details how some of the richest men in the world are using their money to influence political and legal battles over abortion.
Some of Planned Parenthood’s top donors include Warren Buffett and George Soros. According to Forbes, Buffett is the third richest man in the world with a net worth of about $60.8 billion. Soros ranks at No. 23 on the list with $24.9 billion.
The Susan Thompson Buffett Foundation, named after Warren’s late wife, gave more than $35 million to Planned Parenthood in 2014 alone, according to the report. In the past five years, the Buffetts have given tens of millions to the abortion chain, the news outlet found.
The Buffetts also are the “single largest funder” of the National Abortion Federation, having given $23 million in 2014, according to the report. The family also regularly gives huge grants to other pro-abortion groups, including NARAL and the National Women’s Law Center, the report states.
The Buffetts’ foundation heavily influenced the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn a Texas law that required abortion facilities to meet basic health and safety standards. The Buffetts funneled money into a Texas study that supposedly showed how the new law was hurting women’s access to abortion and resulting in more self-induced abortion attempts. A number of researchers pointed to serious flaws in the study, but the liberal U.S. Supreme Court justices used it as evidence anyway when they overturned the law.
