Planned Parenthood: Wanting
fewer blacks 'understandable'
Abortion provider says 'yes' when 'donor' wants to reduce
minorities
February 27, 2008
A student-run magazine at UCLA has
revealed an undercover investigation in which representatives of Planned
Parenthood, the nation's abortion industry leader, admitted willingness to
accepting a financial donation targeting the destruction of an unborn black
baby.
Lila Rose, who edits The Advocate, previously revealed how Planned
Parenthood officials expressed a willingness to conceal statutory rape, an
investigative piece that earned her an appearance on the Fox News Channel's
"The O'Reilly Factor."
Now she's told WND she hopes the taped responses of Planned Parenthood
officials in seven states reveal to her local UCLA community and the nation
the racist leanings of the organization.
WND calls to Planned Parenthood of Idaho, which was featured in The Advocate
report, requesting a comment were not returned.
"Students on campus are shocked and saddened that such a huge organization
would have racist leanings in the present day," Rose told WND. "They are
surprised to hear the truth about [Planned Parenthood founder] Margaret
Sanger, and how the African-American community is being hurt by abortion.
"There's a lot of surprise out there. Planned Parenthood does an excellent
job of covering up the facts," she said.
Sanger supported eugenics to cull those she considered unfit from the
population. In 1921, she said eugenics is "the most adequate and thorough
avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems."
At one point, Sanger lamented "the ever increasing, unceasingly spawning
class of human beings who never should have been born at all." Another time,
Sanger wrote, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate
the Negro population."
According to Bryan Fisher, executive director of Idaho Values Alliance,
Planned Parenthood, which gets an estimated $200 million annually from U.S.
taxpayers, has located nearly 80 percent of its clinics nationwide in
minority neighborhoods, and about one-third of all abortions are performed
on blacks, even though they make up only 13 percent of the population.
Some of the information about the investigation was posted on a YouTube
video:
Nationwide, almost half of all black pregnancies end in abortion, officials
said.
"It turns out that blatant racism is alive and well in Idaho, but it's not
coming from the Aryan Nation types – it's coming from way-left organizations
like Idaho's own Planned Parenthood," Fischer said. "If Idaho is in fact a
haven for white racism, it turns out that Planned Parenthood and not Richard
Butler is to blame."
Richard Butler, who died in 2004, was a notorious white supremacist who
founded Aryan Nations in northern Idaho. He lost a 20-acre compound in 2000
when a $6.3 million civil judgment against his group led to a bankruptcy.
"Idaho didn't have room for Richard Butler and shouldn't have room for
Planned Parenthood," Fischer said.
The Advocate released a transcript of a conversation between an actor
presuming to be a racist and wanting to make a donation, and a woman
identified as Autumn Kersey, vice president of marketing for Planned
Parenthood of Idaho.
Actor: I want to specify that abortion to help a minority group, would that
be possible?
Planned Parenthood: Absolutely.
Actor: Like the black community for example?
Planned Parenthood: Certainly.
Actor: The abortion – I can give money specifically for a black baby, that
would be the purpose?
Planned Parenthood: 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.
Actor: 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.
Planned Parenthood: Yes, absolutely.
Actor: And we don't, you know we just think, the less black kids out there
the better.
Planned Parenthood: (Laughs) Understandable, understandable.
Actor: Right. I want to protect my son, so he can get into college.
Planned Parenthood: All right. 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.
The investigation included calls to Planned Parenthood in Idaho and half a
dozen other states
"I think Idahoans are going to be horrified and shocked at the blatant
racism and bigotry exhibited by our local Planned Parenthood affiliate,"
said Fischer. "I just cannot imagine they're going to stand for that."
He said the timing of the release of the information was intriguing, because
the Idaho Legislature is scheduled this week to have its first public
hearing on a bill written to prevent Idaho women from being forced into
having abortions they do not want.
Rose said students at UCLA now have begun a petition to request the school
cut its affiliations with Planned Parenthood.
She said the actor specifically asked about lowering "the number of black
people," and each PP branch called agreed to process the racially earmarked
donation.
"None expressed concern about the racist reasoning for the donation," The
Advocate said.
The Advocate said an Ohio representative, identified as Lisa Hutton, listens
to the racist reasoning, but confirmed Planned Parenthood "will accept the
money for whatever reason."
Rose said her UCLA campaign has been endorsed by Alveda King, niece of
Martin Luther King, who said she supports "the student campaign to get UCLA
to cease its programs with Planned Parenthood."
Another Planned Parenthood branch, in Kansas, is facing 107 misdemeanor and
felonies charges for allegedly violating Kansas abortion law.
WND reported Rose previously posed as a 15-year-old seeking an abortion at a
Planned Parenthood center in Santa Monica, Calif. She was equipped with a
hidden camera when she met with an employee to discuss her options.
When Rose revealed she was 15 and her boyfriend was 23, the employee
informed her Planned Parenthood was legally required to report the statutory
rape, a transcript of the conversation shows.
The Planned Parenthood representative then suggested she could say she was
16 and avoid complications.
"Well, just figure out a birth date that works. And I don't know anything,"
the rep said.
The Texas-based pro-life group Life Dynamics previously conducted an
extensive undercover project in which an adult volunteer posing as a
13-year-old called every Planned Parenthood clinic in the U.S., saying she
was pregnant by a 22-year-old boyfriend. Almost without exception, the
clinics advised her to obtain an abortion without her parents' knowledge and
told her how to protect her boyfriend, who would be guilty in any state of
statutory rape.
