GoFundMe Raises Money For Abortion Groups

Tech giant GoFundMe is seeking to raise hundreds of thousands of dollars for abortion providers and their political campaigns.

The crowd-funding website has launched an ambitious campaign that aims to raise $500,000 to "fight back" against limits on late-term abortion. The money will be used to benefit Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider, the Planned Parenthood Action Fund—a dark money group that pays for political and lobbying operations—the American Civil Liberties Union, and other abortion organizations nationwide. The fundraiser notes that 40 percent of the money raised by the campaign will go to the Action Fund and ACLU's own dark money group. Both groups are registered as 501(c)4 groups with the IRS and neither discloses its donors, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.

"Reproductive rights are human rights, and GoFundMe is proud to join this movement and work alongside these organizations fighting to protect women all across the country," GoFundMe CEO Rob Solomon said in a release.
