Planned Parenthood Being Falsely Accused

I am so mad about this situation I can barely see straight. Here is what happened: Several pro-life groups called various Planned Parenthood clinics claiming to want to make donations to help pay for donations for black babies. The callers claimed they wanted to do it because "there were too many black people around." The clinics wanting the money just basically said "whatever." The clinic receptionists who took the calls have been disciplined for not following guidelines. Now the pro-life groups are claiming that Planned Parenthood is racist and committing genocide against black people. First of all, the callers were the ones who brought up racism -- not Planned Parenthood. Callers who NEVER INTENDED TO DONATE ONE DARN CENT. The whole purpose of the call was to set up Planned Parenthood for bad publicity by playing the race card. Real racism exists. False allegations like this from people who are more committed to promoting their own agenda than the truth make it that much harder to fight the real thing. Now, Planned Parenthood does mostly operate in minority neighborhoods. But, you know why????? Because they provide a LOT of other services besides abortions. Abortions are only TEN PERCENT of Planned Parenthood's provision of services. That means 90% of their services have NOTHING to do with providing an abortion. They provide quality healthcare to people who can't afford it otherwise. That's why they are the poorer neighborhoods which also tend to be minority neighborhoods. Racism has nothng to do with it. If all these people who are denouncing Planned Parenthood really cared about the health of the people in these neighborhoods they need to get off their fat a$$es and start providing affordable health care. If not, they need to stop running their mouths about false allegations. Planned Parenthood DID NOT INITIATE THESE CALLS. Others with their own agendas did. One final note -- shut up about Margaret Sanger's eugenics beliefs. She's dead. She's not running Planned Parenthood anymore.
