UCLA Prolifers Accuse Planned Parenthood of Racism, Minority Targeting

[-] Text [+]

A pro-life student group at UCLA has released a series of shocking videos over the past few weeks that it claims proves that Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest provider of surgical abortions, is racist and deliberately targets minority groups for abortions.

According to the student group, which calls itself The Advocate, during telephone conversations with representatives at Planned Parenthood facilities in Idaho, Oklahoma, Ohio, New Mexico, and three other soon-to-be-disclosed states, UCLA students posed as racists who railed against affirmative action and requested to make donations to “abort black babies,” because of what they described as “the less black kids out there the better.”

None of the callers, according to The Advocate, were turned down.

During one recorded telephone conversation, an Idaho Planned Parenthood Representative describes the caller’s request “understandable” and seems unable to control her glee.

“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 Planned Parenthood representative says in a video released by the group.

Lila Rose, the editor-in-chief of the student group’s newsletter, told Fox News that the new findings were not at all surprising given that Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was a racist who advocated the use of abortion for purposes of eliminating “the problem of the dependent, delinquent and defective elements in modern society.”

Rose said that it was no accident that “80 percent of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority neighborhoods.”

"Planned Parenthood has no shame in accepting donations to purposely abort minority populations. People have forgotten the organization was founded on these principles and has continued to operate under these same racist views for decades,” she explained, according to Catholic News Agency.

Planned Parenthood, however, has been quick to deny the “authenticity” of what they called “edited” tapes, and argued that their organization was one that “denounces racial bias” and “helps all individuals — regardless of gender, race, or sexual orientation.”

“What is deeply troubling is that an opponent of reproductive health care is baiting Planned Parenthood employees with deceptive, politically motivated tactics,” a spokeswoman from the group said in a statement.

Rose, however, was quick to snap back.

“Why are they apologizing for what is on the tapes when they are simultaneously telling the media not to cover this issue because they say that the tapes were edited?” she said, according to Fox News.

According to the student group, 14 million African-American babies have been aborted since 1973, constituting the largest source of African-American deaths, exceeding that of terrorism, cancer, AIDS, and heart disease combined.

Last year, Planned Parenthood facilities performed 289,570 abortions at its over 800 locations, the highest number of abortions on record.

    I'm not one to share my own experience unless God moves me to do so. 12 years ago, I had an abortion. At the time, I thought the worst thing that I could be was a Black, single mother with a fatherless child. The thought that this was an actual child, my child, never occurred to me. I made a choice, and in doing so, there's a child who never had a choice to live, who did not ask to be here in the first place. I did not use planned parenthood, but I did use them for free birth control and other options. Now when I look back, they were the "go to" agency in the poor communities. I was very surprised knowing the history of planned parenthood and the recent incidences. What saddens me more is that I fear little will be done to stop them, b/c the death of black children isn't "newsworthy". This statement should not be taken as bitter, but just a statement of fact. I looked for articles, news featrures on this explosive subject, and it's relegated to the Christian forums or the same article just redistributed, no public outrage. I'm especially surprised that the black community isn't asking questions. It really breaks my heart. I don't want women to feel like they have no voice in this country, however when it boils down to it, that's not what it's about. Most women that go through this is b/c they don't feel they have any other choice. The feminists that are fighting and lawmakers that are arguing about it probably don't ever face this issue. But encourage young, scared women to stand up and be heard at the expense of a child's life. It's absurd. At the same time I hate the alternative of yoing girls going into back alleys with seedy quacks being mutilated. I think that freedom in America has given the worst of us platforms to spew off that "anything goes". Let's pray for our country.

    The ACLU is in bed with planned Parenthood and its racist and socialistic objectives. There is a free PDF file for download that makes that connection at the third link titled ACLU in the introduction of this website - http://evolutionfacts.blogspot.com

    Amazing how the negative impact of abortion on population has been completely ignored. In China the widespread use of abortion of baby girls has lead to a warping of the birth ratio which has reached levels that the government is worried about a social crisis. An entire generation of girls has been wiped out. No feminist out cry over this!
    The population Europe is dying off because they abort so many they are not even able to maintain stable population growth. It will have huge consequences on their being able to maintain their social welfare programs without younger workers paying in to the programs

    My sister, when she was a child, was deceived by Planned Parenthood. They didn't even consult her about the decision, tell her the truth of the side-effects... both physical and emotional. These people are out to destroy human lives... simply put... they are homicidial maniacs.
