Same reason Black churches can push candidates.

Nobody has the guts to fight them.

(Even if the IRS got a complaint, they wouldn’t chase it.)

It's an accounting scam. Planned Parenthood created a "separate" political action committee which they claim is unaffiliated with Planned Parenthood itself. It does all the lobbying and campaigning, while the main Planned Parenthood receives the taxpayer financing and the tax exempt status.

They did the same thing to continue performing abortions. When the Hyde Amendment became law, banning the use of tax money for abortions, PP simply created "separate" accounts at their abortion mills. Of course, it's a scam because in real life money is fungible. So whatever money we give to PP for their non-abortion activities merely frees up other money to run the abortion activities.
