Planned Parenthood wants to undermine the whole of American democracy by packing the U.S. Supreme Court now that the justices are not doing what abortion activists want them to.
In an interview Sunday on MSNBC, CEO Alexis McGill Johnson urged Congress to add more judges to the nation’s courts, including the nine-member U.S. Supreme Court, in the wake of the Dobbs v. Jackson ruling, Newsmax reports.
Contradicting the Supreme Court, Johnson insisted that abortion on demand is a “right,” and increasing the number of judges in the federal court system could restore “our democratic rights and our democratic freedoms.”
“Planned Parenthood refuses to accept that our courts can only exist as they do now, and understands that reforms are integral to building the public’s trust that the courts can and will function to uphold hard-won freedoms and advance justice for future generations,” Johnson said in a statement.
She portrayed the judicial system as corrupt and her plan as “reform.” But the abortion chain’s proposal actually would destroy the essential checks and balances of America government.
The American forefathers created safeguards ensure judges can independently determine Americans’ rights and freedoms without political influence and Congress cannot infringe on citizens’ constitutional rights. These measures protect Americans from tyranny and oppression by ensuring one branch of government does not hold too much power.

Under Johnson’s proposal, the pro-abortion politicians whom Planned Parenthood donates big money to elect would be able to manipulate court rulings simply by adding enough judges who agree with them to the courts to create a new majority.
To make the case for her radical plan, Johnson accused pro-life advocates of doing what pro-abortion groups have been doing for years: “forum shopping,” or filing lawsuits before judges who likely will give a favorable ruling.
“The reality is the court now has been fully captured in so many areas. The fact that you have, again, this lone Texas judge, that can now bring cases, you can forum shop there, bring cases to the Fifth Circuit, which is also conservative and up to the Supreme Court now, which has a conservative super-majority,” she said, referring to a lawsuit from OB-GYNs and emergency room physicians who say mifepristone as an elective abortion drug is dangerous and never should have been approved.
Johnson said Planned Parenthood is calling on Congress to increase the number of federal judges and institute term limits.
“It would be one thing to call for, you know, a justice to step down for whatever reason, but the reality is, that the way in which the system has been captured requires us to engage in structural reform in a different way,” she said.
Planned Parenthood also issued a statement Sunday to outline its proposals: “PPFA’s expanded position is a continuation of our commitment to ensure that everyone, no matter where they live, has the freedom to make their own decisions about their own bodies, lives, and futures. Instead, the courts have been used as a vehicle to advance a dangerous agenda against abortion rights, voting rights, LGBTQ+ rights, and so much more.”
But the abortion chain wants to create rights where there are none. The U.S. Constitution never mentions abortion, and the Supreme Court ruled in Dobbs that aborting unborn babies is not a right. Now, states may protect unborn babies from abortion again, and 15 already have done so.
According to Breitbart, polls consistently show Americans oppose court packing, and even many left-leaning judges, including former Supreme Court Justices Stephen Breyer and the late Ruth Bader Ginsburg, have warned against such extreme measures.
Johnson runs the largest abortion chain in America, one that reports approximately $1.7 billion in revenue while aborting more than 370,000 unborn babies annually.
Of that, more than half a billion dollars comes from taxpayer funding, despite its abortion practice and numerous scandals, including allegations of the sales of aborted baby body parts, botched abortions, racial and pregnancy discrimination, sexual abuse cover-ups, Medicaid fraud and more.
