Should Planned Parenthood accept donations specifically for abortions of black babies?
Planned Parenthood of both New Mexico and Eastern Oklahoma/Arkansas accepts money from a racist donor to target African Americans for abortions because "there are way too many blacks in America".1400 African American babies are lost to abortion each day.
African American women account for only 12% of the female population but submit to over 36% of abortions.
This is no accident: Planned Parenthood targets minorities, putting over 79% of their clinics in minority neighborhoods. Their founder, Margaret Sanger, designed the organization to use sterilization and abortion to control minority populations. And today, Planned Parenthood of America sets up special funds across the country to target minority women. WATCH THE VIDEO

Uhh, I think you misunderstood. PlannedParenthood isn't trying to wipe out black people. They're focused on minorities, because those populations often can't afford to go to a doctor for an abortion, STD testing, etc. That's why it said the percentage of abortions with black women is higher. Without places like PP, these people would either just keep having children and not be able to support them properly, or they'd get back-alley abortions, thus risking their lives as well as supporting a dangerous and illegal operation.

I realize what you're saying, but that video I'm sure was not made by PP - I'm sure it was made by someone criticizing PP for "being racist". The problem is that it was the caller who was being racist. I'm sure the PP reps were simply doing their job in accepting the donation and just trying to be civil and ignore his comments. In fact, in some cases, they may have interpreted his request to mean that he wanted to help the black community because he felt they were having more trouble than others, or for whatever reason (maybe they thought he had had personal experience in the issue and so wanted to prevent another occurrence or something, who knows). The point is, I don't think the video really showed PP accepting the donations just for the purpose of extinguishing the black community.

It sounds like someone putting out a hit to me. But if a black woman wants an abortion and someone is willing to pay for it, I doubt she cares why. She should be told. If she is fine with accepting a free abortion paid for by someone who wanted his donation set aside for a black woman, and she has no objections, it should be her CHOICE. Otherwise, let her cough up the money like everybody else. I'm sure someone else will take it. -
This poll is not biased! The answers direct and strongly support both sides of the matter making this poll as neutral as it could be:
NO ----- This is horrible! Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error. (Answer supports pro life and race)
YES ----- Abortions is just a tissue, not a little human. After all, everyone is welcome to donate on whatever you want. (Answer supports pro choice and Panned Parenthood) -
It is too. Not everybody who is prochoice thinks that abortion is just tissue.
Your no answer is good for those who oppose abortion and racism
Your yes answer is for those who think abortions are just "tissue" and that who ever can donate for whatever they want
where are you options for those who are prochoice but are against racist tatics like what is explained in your poll?
Where are options for those who are antiabortion but are for who ever wants to donate for whatever cause?
How you word your answer changes how people vote, hence your answers being biased. -
Pam, I live in a country that is 95 % Catholic, and I have seen what happens to families with too many children. Can you honestly say to them "Don't have Sex " ? They don't believe in Protection, thanks to the catholic church, so they go hungry, or worse.
Answered NO ----- This is horrible! Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error.
Your answers are biased. I am prochoice, but donated money just for colored baby abortions is wrong.
