Guest Post: Explosive – Racism at Idaho Planned Parenthood


By Bryan Fischer, Idaho Values Alliance
A seven-state investigation conducted last summer by a student magazine at UCLA, The Advocate, revealed the presence of an ugly strain of racism in Planned Parenthood affiliates, including Planned Parenthood of Idaho.
An actor, posing as a racist donor, called Planned Parenthood development centers and asked that his donation be used to abort African-American babies in order to “lower the number of black people.” According to the magazine, every branch – including Idaho’s – agreed to process the racially earmarked donations, and none expressed concern about the racist reasoning for the donation.
And so it turns out that blatant racism is alive and well in Idaho. But it is not being perpetuated by the Richard Butler – Aryan Nation folks but by radical leftist organizations like Idaho’s own Planned Parenthood. Idaho may be a haven of white racism after all. Tragically, the nation discovers today that, if so, Planned Parenthood is to blame.
The press release issued by the magazine contains a partial transcript of the conversation between the actor and Autumn Kersey, the Vice-President of Development and Marketing for Planned Parenthood of Idaho. At one point, the actor says, “the less black kids out there the better.” Kersey’s response? Unbelievably, she chuckle and says “understandable” – not once but twice!
The phone conversation was recorded, which is legal since Idaho is a single-consent state. Here are excerpts from the phone conversation:
Partial transcript of telephone conversation with Autumn Kersey, Vice-President of Marketing and Development, Planned Parenthood of Idaho:
Idaho Donor: Wonderful. I want to specify that abortion to help a minority group, would that be possible?
PP Rep: Absolutely.
Donor: Like the black community for example?
PP Rep: Certainly.
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: (Laughs) 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.

Kersey had not returned a call from the IVA by the time this Daily Update was released.
The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a well-known proponent of eugenics and minority abortions, who said, in 1921, that eugenics is “the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems.” At another point, she lamented “the ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.”
Planned Parenthood, obediently marching in lockstep with Sanger’s racist vision, has located 79% of its clinics nationwide in minority neighborhoods. About 35% of all abortions are performed on blacks, even though they comprise less than 13% of the population. Almost half of all black pregnancies are aborted. In essence, Planned Parenthood is engaged in a form of racial genocide.
