Planned Parenthood broke tax law by providing workspace to Harris campaign: IRS complaint

A Planned Parenthood in Florida violated its tax-exempt status by providing a workspace for Vice President Kamala Harris' presidential election campaign in addition to other activities, according to an IRS complaint filed by a pro-life advocacy organization. 

40 Days for Life, which conducts prayer vigils outside Planned Parenthood and other abortion businesses, filed the 42-page complaint in December. The filing included photos of a worker wearing a Harris-Walz shirt walking inside what appears to be the Planned Parenthood office in Sarasota.

A copy of the complaint, obtained by The Christian Post, details how the local Planned Parenthood allowed the Sarasota County Democratic Party to host a political event in October 2024 for the Harris-Walz campaign.

In a statement to CP, a 40 Days for Life spokesperson confirmed that the group has yet to receive confirmation from the incoming Trump administration about whether there will be an investigation into the political event hosted by an affiliate of the country's largest abortion provider.

The group expects to hear more once President-elect Donald Trump is in office, the spokesperson said.

The event, titled "Phone Bank at Love Art Repeat," consisted of individuals making calls during shifts lasting from one to two hours. Individuals worked in a room with a Harris/Walz sign displayed at the entrance, which was later removed the following morning and reposted again a few days later.

On Nov. 1, 2024, the Planned Parenthood chapter in Florida once again provided space for the call center, and five to 10 people were observed entering the space. As 40 Days for Life noted in its complaint, activity at the local Planned Parenthood continued until Nov. 3, 2024.

"Planned Parenthood's activities appear to constitute prohibited political activities. They clearly advocate for one party and particular candidates," the complaint stated. "I.R.C. Sec. 527 categorizes entities such as campaign committees and political action committees involved in state, federal or local office candidacies as political organizations. The Democratic Party and the Harris-Walz 2024 presidential campaign fall under this classification."...................

Did the Harris campaign report it as a contribution?

Why do Republican lawmakers continue to hand $500 million in taxpayer money over to Planned Parenthood every year?
If a political party does not have its foundation in the determination to advance a cause that is right and that is moral, then it is not a political party; it is merely a conspiracy to seize power.     -Dwight Eisenhower-

"The [U.S.] Constitution is a limitation on the government, not on private individuals ... it does not prescribe the conduct of private individuals, only the conduct of the government ... it is not a charter for government power, but a charter of the citizen's protection against the government."     -Ayn Rand-
