Planned Parenthood Takes Racially Motived Donations?
According to an article at LaIst.com, The Advocate, a pro-life University of California student run newspaper ran an article about planned parenthood accepting donations for race based abortions. Apparently, some staged calls were made to various Planned Parenthood call centers including Ohio, and stated they wanted to donate money, specifically earmarked to abort black babies, because either they had a problem with affirmative action or a dislike of black people.
Based on taped phone calls, Planned Parenthood phone reps happily and readily were prepared to accept the donations. It has been reported that none of the Planned Parenthood call representatives expressed outrage at these racist donor requests.
Here is the transcript for one conversation:
Idaho donor: The abortion—I can give money specifically for a black baby, that would be the purpose?
PP Rep: Absolutely. If you wanted to designate that your gift be used to help an African-American woman in need, then we would certainly make sure that the gift was earmarked for that purpose.
Idaho donor: Great, because I really faced trouble with affirmative action, and I don’t want my kids to be disadvantaged against black kids. I just had a baby; I want to put it in his name.
PP Rep: Yes, absolutely.
Idaho donor: And we don’t, you know we just think, the less black kids out there the better.
PP Rep: Understandable, understandable.
Idaho donor: Right. I want to protect my son, so he can get into college
PP Rep: Alright. Excuse my hesitation, this is the first time I’ve had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I’m excited, and want to make sure I don’t leave anything out.

Planned Parenthood Racism Investigation
Here is a quote from The Advocate:
Over the summer, The Advocate investigated the financial dealings of Planned Parenthood and made some shocking discoveries about the clinic-owning “nonprofit.” We obtained the information by having an actor call clinics across the country and pose as a donor. The actor who called, The Advocate’s advisor, communicated to them a very racist agenda—the one that Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood’s founder, had envisioned. He then asked to donate money specifically for the abortions of African-American babies in order to “lower the number of blacks in America.
Despite his bigoted requests, no Planned Parenthood employee (or director of development, in one case) declined the tainted money. Some even asked to speak with other employees to get permission. In the first day of calling seven clinics, not a single Planned Parenthood representative expressed outrage or concern at the racism behind donations specifically “to reduce the number of blacks.” In fact, some even went as far as agreeing with the antiblack agenda."
************************************************************************************
For the record, Fox News 12 in Idaho obtained a statement from Planned Parenthood of Idaho: "Planned Parenthood firmly and unequivocally denounces racial bias in the delivery of health care.... A fund raising employee violated the organization's principles and practices when she appeared to be willing to accept a racially motivated donation. This employee made a serious mistake. We apologize for the manner in which this offensive call was handled."
This is good investigative reporting from a student run newspaper. This is what mainstream papers used to do so well.
