In their quarterly filings with the Federal Election Commission, NARAL Pro-Choice America disclosed that they put some of their resources up against GOP presidential contender and U.S. Rep. Michele Bachmann in September.
NARAL spent $8,406 to rent lists of Bachmann’s prospective supporters in September. It also spent another $1,175 in September to oppose her reelection in Minnesota’s 6th Congressional District. Most of that money was spent on web ads and consulting, according to filings with the Federal Election Commission.
Bachmann, a longtime opponent of abortion rights, filed a bill titled the “Heartbeat Informed Consent Act” in early October. Her struggling presidential campaign has recently refocused on Bachmann’s anti-abortion credentials, hoping to draw conservative supporters.
The pro-choice group also spent $1,834 to print up mailings opposing Bachmann last financial quarter. She’s the only presidential candidate the group has disclosed spending against so far this election cycle.
Bachmann has a long history of anti-abortion activism and took part in a National Right to Life conference in Florida this summer.
