The Ohio branch of the leading player in the nation's abortion industry, Planned Parenthood, is blaming the callers for a fiasco in which a local official was caught on tape agreeing to take a donation designated to eliminate blacks.
WND has reported previously on the work of Lila Rose, editor of the Los Angeles-based Advocate, who has conducted several undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood.
In one taped interview, an Idaho official for Planned Parenthood said it was "understandable" that a donor would want to contribute to abortions targeting blacks so that his own, presumably white, child would have less competition in college.
In the Ohio case, a wire report now has characterized those recorded interviews as "prank phone calls." The report also quotes a spokeswoman for the "health care provider" saying they were just an "attempt to portray Planned Parenthood as racist."
The Associated Press report said the caller to a Columbus, Ohio, clinic "asks a receptionist if he can make a donation that will be used to underwrite abortions on minorities because there are 'definitely way too many black people in Ohio.'"
The response from Planned Parenthood's employee? "OK, whatever."
Now Columbus Planned Parenthood spokeswoman Stephanie Tresso has told the AP the conversation took place, but accused the callers of "just another attempt … to discredit the organization."

There’s an implied link to affirmative action.

You can go ahead and admit to whatever you want to. That assertion of yours makes you sound like one sick b*stard.
WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU TWO??? You want to try proving that, pally? Want to post some links, cite some stats? Oh, that's right--YOU CAN'T. All you're really doing by spouting that kind of bs is validating a pro-abortion belief. Stick with the facts, if you don't mind.
Abortion violently ends the life of an individual, unique human being, period. SHEESH.
Duh! And a damn effectively.
Members of the demographic group(s) who abort the most babies are overwhelmingly more likely to commit crimes and vote Democratic. The quantitative evidence is right there in front of you.
One could also make a number of valid arguments regarding mothers who are willing to kill their babies. They too, are probably not conservatives, probably do not attend church, probably live irresponsibly, and are less likely to raise children who become productive members of society. Unfortunately there are few if any numbers to confirm or deny this sort of speculation.
That is not evidence that the babies aborted would have gone on to become democrats, thieves, addicts, murderers, second-grade public school teachers, the Pope, or anything else. No such evidence exists. You are attempting to validate abortion, the intentional murder of an innocent life, by claiming that it is for the good of society.
Do us all a favor and admit that you are pro-abortion. Be forthright. Let us know where you stand. But DON'T try to establish a cause and effect relationship between abortion and criminal acts not yet committed. That might fly on some other forum, but not here.
It is possible to make reasonably accurate projections based on what we know about their backgrounds. Time to face facts: most kids born into trashy underclass families don't stand a chance.
Do us all a favor and admit that you are pro-abortion.
Opposing abortion doesn't mean you get to ignore the social costs of prohibiting it.
The libs don't understand the law of unintended consequences. We're better than them; educate yourself.
That’s something I’ve thought about. The Democrats would have a lot more support today if they weren’t so dead-set on allowing their babies to be aborted.
In a sick sort of way, that very fact makes the fight against abortion easier.
Libspeak. Pure, 100% libspeak. You sound like you're quoting PP, fcol.
Hold on tight to those "possibilities" and to your "reasonably accurate projections." They are meaningless when compared to the cold, hard fact that you are obstinately refusing to admit, which I will post once more: Abortion is the intentional, deliberate murder of an innocent, unique human life. I get it. You're okay with that.
You could have saved me a lot of wasted time arguing with you by simply stating "I am pro-abortion." Coward.
I think we can all agree that abortion is one of the great evils of our time, but you can't ignore the fact that there would be even more Democrats and other undesirables without it. And let's face facts - aside from a few zealots, most Americans care a lot more about crime (and other issues affecting them directly) than the rights of the unborn.
You have utterly failed to convince me (a fellow conservative, no less) that it is in my own best interest to support your position. How do you expect to sell the pro-life message to moderates and independents?
