'crat campaign contributions
[[Abortion]] groups invested heavily in Madoff. The result, [[Planned Parenthood]] is laying off about 20 percent of its staff. Another Madoff investor, the [[Florida]]-based Picower Foundation shut down in December. The foundation was worth $1 billion and is one of the top [[financial]] backers of pro-abortion groups. The JEHT Foundation gave $24 million in 2008 to abortion groups as well as the [[ACLU]], also announced closing its doors in December. <ref>[http://www.newsmax.com/insidecover/madoff_funding_abortion/2009/01/12/170584.html Madoff Scandal Rocks Pro-Abortion Groups] NewsMax, January 12, 2009</ref>
