A spokesperson for the women’s health organization told the _Guardian_ that people have been giving to the organization at 40 times the normal rate since the election. According to the spokesperson, half of the donors were millennials and 70% had never given to Planned Parenthood before. The influx in donations is rooted in a fear that President-elect Donald Trump’s administration might undo abortion rights. Trump [has said that he’ll appoint](http://motto.time.com/4538293/donald-trump-partial-birth-abortion-third-debate/) Supreme Court justices to overturn _Roe v. Wade_, and Vice President-elect Mike Pence has signed [some of the strictest abortion restrictions](http://motto.time.com/4406521/mike-pence-periods-abortion-law/?iid=sr-link4) into law during his tenure as governor of Indiana. Over [82,000 donations to the organization](http://nymag.com/thecut/2016/12/how-many-planned-parenthood-donations-came-from-mike-pence.html) since the election have been given in Pence’s name. **_Read More_**: [_The Mixed-Up History of Donald Trump’s Abortion Stances_](http://motto.time.com/4538293/donald-trump-partial-birth-abortion-third-debate/) In the weeks since the election, a [number of states](http://motto.time.com/4599724/abortion-restrictions-ohio-texas/?iid=sr-link1) have [already proposed](http://motto.time.com/4602267/oklahoma-anti-abortion-signs/?iid=sr-link4) or [passed new restrictions](http://motto.time.com/4600088/ohio-abortion-bill-veto/?iid=sr-link2) on abortion, and Texas [has pledged to kick](http://motto.time.com/4609129/texas-defunding-planned-parenthood/) Planned Parenthood out of its Medicaid program. “Texas is a cautionary tale for the rest of the nation,” Planned Parenthood President Cecile Richards said in a statement, [according to the New York _Daily News_](http://www.nydailynews.com/life-style/health/planned-parenthood-sees-donations-40x-usual-rate-post-election-article-1.2924277). “If the nation goes the way of Texas, it will be nothing less than a national health care disaster.” \[[The _Guardian_](https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2016/dec/25/progressive-donations-us-election-planned-parenthood-aclu)\] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4618359/planned-parenthood-election-donations/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4618359/planned-parenthood-election-donations/"},"headline":"Planned Parenthood Has Received 300,000 Donations Since the Election","datePublished":"2016-12-27T16:58:08.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T09:04:14.245Z","description":"70% of the donors had never given before","url":"https://time.com/4618359/planned-parenthood-election-donations/","keywords":["motto"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3d7ac099acef4e2c/6988b406a988ca11e56ba86c/planned-parenthood-donations-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Samantha Cooney","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/samantha-cooney/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt3d7ac099acef4e2c/6988b406a988ca11e56ba86c/planned-parenthood-donations-donald-trump.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Activists hold Planned Parenthood banner in Foley Square.","caption":"Activists hold Planned Parenthood banner in Foley Square.","creditText":"Pacific Press—LightRocket via Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/motto/","name":"motto"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4618359/planned-parenthood-election-donations/","name":"Planned Parenthood Has Received 300,000 Donations Since the Election"}}]}] ```
