Aborting Black Babies
A representative of a right-to-life student publication at UCLA made phone calls to numerous Planned Parenthood offices, posing as a donor, saying he wanted to donate to Planned Parenthood in order to abort black unborn children. If the person at Planned Parenthood didn't immediately denounce the caller as a bigot, the call was published as evidence of racism at Planned Parenthood.
So far, nothing more than a stunt by college journalists. But here's how this story was presented by Rodger Jones on the The Dallas Morning News Opinion blog. In its entirety, the story is "Aborting black babies is a program you can underwrite an Planned Parenthood, apparently." This was followed by links to the "awful discovery."
Planned Parenthood is not racist. There's no program for "aborting black babies." The "awful discovery" is not what Rodger Jones leads readers to believe, but the fact that anti-abortion extremises use deceptive tactics and racist behavior themselves to embarrass Planned Parenthood. But you have to follow the links to learn all this. Rodger Jones and The Dallas Morning News ought to be almost as embarrassed as Planned Parenthood.
