Will IRS enforce law against Planned Parenthood?

PLANNED PARENTHOOD AND TAX EXEMPT STATUS The U. S. Tax law of charities provides section 501(c)(3) charity status to nonprofit educational organizations.Recent news reports indicate Planned Parenthood has this charity status, but that it recently endorsed President Obama for President in the next election. IRS Code Section 501(c)(3) expressly prohibits any such charity from campaigning for any candidate for public office. Apparently we will soon see whether the IRS under President Obama will enforce this law as it has done strictly in the past and revoke the exempt status of Planned Parenthood, or whether Obama’s people will cause the IRS to wink at this violation – abusing the IRS powers as President Nixon was properly denounced for doing.
