After Jeb Bush made a statement about defunding Planned Parenthood on Tuesday, a donation to the organization was made in his honor. Now, donations are flooding into the organization in honor of other Republican presidential contenders, including Ted Cruz, Marco Rubio and Rand Paul, according to the Washington Post.
Currently, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio have earned the most money for Planned Parenthood, according to the Christian Science Monitor. Rand Paul is the third-place "in honor of" Republican, with Bobby Jindal, Bush, Donald Trump and Rick Santorum all tied. Each has prompted a donation to be made in his name to the organization. Most of the donations are for small amounts, $100 and under.
All of them have spoken out against Planned Parenthood, some more passionately than others. It appears the topic will continue to be a discussion point during the 2016 presidential primary.
Planned Parenthood has recently come under fire due to behind-the-scenes videos which seem to depict the organization illegally selling fetal tissues, according to the Daily Caller. The topic has caused a great deal of debate in the media, and it has become a major talking point of the ongoing Republican primary election.
