A recently leaked document revealed that a foundation founded by billionaire George Soros requested $1.5 million to fund Planned Parenthood after a huge scandal involving the sale of fetal body parts. The funds were supposed to be used for its Fight Back Campaign to counter attempts to defund the facility.

The document reportedly revealed that the Open Society Policy Center (OSPC) called for the cash infusion to defend Planned Parenthood's reputation and credibility. The fund will also be used to cope with the potential loss of federal funding.

The leaked document also referred to the undercover videos that showed Planned Parenthood officials negotiating the sales of fetal body parts. Lawmakers used the videos to justify defunding the abortion facility which received over $500 million yearly from the government.

The OSPC estimated that the campaign to defend the abortion facility may cost up to $8 million. This should cover security, communications, organizing supporters and congressional support, and legal fees.

It is not clear whether the money was released but part of the document read: "This emergency funding enabled PPAF to implement its multi-pronged Fight Back Campaign to mobilize grassroots and grasstops supporters and lobby Congress to counter attempts to defund Planned Parenthood at the federal and state levels, and to continue providing critical reproductive health care services across the country."

The file was released by DC Leaks along with other documents from organizations linked to Soros.

Both houses of Congress passed legislation to defund Planned Parenthood but President Obama vetoed the bill. The attempt by the House to override the veto in February was unsuccessful.

Life Site reported that there are other leaked documents that show Soros funding other pro-abortion campaigns in other parts of the world. Soros gives $4.2 million to Ireland every year to persuade the country to legalize abortion. Other campaigns involve condom distribution in Kenya and criticizing Human Life International in Asia.
