Planned Parenthood Action Fund, facing proposed Medicaid cuts that would defund its services for the next decade, decried the move as a politically motivated attack aimed at weakening support for reproductive healthcare, particularly in medically underserved areas.

On May 9, 2025, Planned Parenthood Action Fund’s vice president of communications condemned the coordinated 'Rolling Thunder' campaign, which aims to impose new restrictions on mifepristone and undermine telemedicine abortion access. The statement characterized the campaign as driven by 'junk science' and as part of a broader effort by anti-abortion activists to strip away crucial reproductive healthcare rights.

Planned Parenthood Action Fund announced a strategic shift by reallocating funding to regional affiliates to bolster local efforts in protecting abortion access while laying off approximately 10-15% of its national workforce. The initiative, effective July 1, 2023, also includes plans to upgrade telehealth technology and launch a significant health equity program for Black communities, reflecting both a progressive political stance and challenging labor practices as criticized by union representatives.

The article details how Planned Parenthood Action Fund, acting as the 501(c)(4) lobbying arm for Planned Parenthood, actively supported progressive candidates and opposed Republican candidates in the 2016 elections. The fund spent significant amounts on independent expenditures, candidate direct mail, web ads, and polling, explicitly targeting anti-abortion and pro-fascist candidates such as Donald Trump and other Republican figures.
