Planned Parenthood plots largest-ever campaign blitz in 2014

Quote:Anti-abortion lawmakers, beware. Planned Parenthood's political operations are planning their largest-ever campaign blitz for this year's midterm and gubernatorial elections, poised to pour millions into key races that could determine who controls Congress.

The group's political arm has in the past bought up gobs of campaign-season airtime to attack social conservatives as "extreme." Their track record is mixed, but the abortion provider played at least some role in the defeat last year of Republican gubernatorial candidate Ken Cuccinelli in Virginia.

Counting what Planned Parenthood spent in that race, the organization is planning to spend more than $18 million this cycle.

The spending largely would come from Planned Parenthood Action Fund and Planned Parenthood Votes, a super PAC. The sum would easily make them among the highest-spending outside Democratic players in this year's elections.

The numbers, confirmed by Fox News, were first reported by Politico. The plans suggest that Democrats' rallying cry in 2012 that Republicans were waging a "war on women" will return in some fashion this year -- as groups like Planned Parenthood hammer abortion rights, women's health and other issues on the airwaves.

I hate this war on women and women's health garbage. My wife, mom and sisters are women and I'm not at war with them and I'm concerned about their health.

I hope they give a lot to Kay Hagan, Mark Pryor, and Mary Landrieu...That'll play well in North Carolina, Arkansas, and Louisiana.

It is more of a war on Fetuses/Babies.

Wouldn't their money be much better spent on running their not for profit programs?
