Statement from Alexis McGill Johnson, president & CEO, Planned Parenthood Action Fund:

“All across the country, voters rejected the tyranny of the Trump administration and its backers in Congress. These politicians played politics with our health and our lives by ‘defunding’ Planned Parenthood, and communities held them accountable. We have a long road ahead to restore what this administration tore apart, and we know we've got the fighters on our side to do it."

Reproductive rights are winning up and down the ballot. Virginians voted to enshrine reproductive freedom in their state constitution, and champions Sen. Jon Ossoff (D-GA) and Sen.-elect Roy Cooper (D-NC) were elected to the U.S. Senate.

Planned Parenthood advocacy and political organizations announced a plan to spend $47 million this election cycle. The “We Decide” campaign connected with voters online, at their front doors, and everywhere in between to unseat lawmakers who “defunded” Planned Parenthood; to take power back in key battleground states; and win races to build support for a lasting, durable right to abortion. Canvassers knocked on more than 1.5 million doors and connected with over 460,000 people at their doors and by phone — reaching out to more than 10 million voters ahead of the election.

Planned Parenthood Action Fund is an independent, nonpartisan, not-for-profit membership organization formed as the advocacy and political arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The Action Fund engages in educational, advocacy and electoral activity, including grassroots organizing, legislative advocacy, and voter education.
