40 Days for Life has called on the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) to evaluate whether Planned Parenthood violated rules for nonprofits after the organization offered free abortions to attendees of the Democratic National Convention (DNC).

In an Aug. 20 electronically filed complaint to the IRS, 40 Days for Life brought attention to “potentially prohibited political activities” that Planned Parenthood participated in by offering a mobile “health” clinic for the sake of providing free abortions at the DNC.

The report, signed by President and CEO of 40 Days for Life Shawn Carney, called on the IRS to determine if Planned Parenthood’s activities violate tax-exempt rules against political involvement.

“Political campaigning substantially diverges from the permissible activities and could result in revocation of tax-exempt status and possible imposition of related excise taxes,” the report stated.
