Representatives from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox say they’ve asked Planned Parenthood to remove their names as corporate donors to the embattled organization.
The move follows a Daily Signal report revealing the names of 41 companies that Planned Parenthood listed as donors. That list, which was featured on Planned Parenthood’s website, has since been removed.
This latest development comes in the wake of two undercover videos that showed Planned Parenthood executives talking about the sale of fetal body parts. Planned Parenthood is facing both federal and state investigations—and the possibility of losing taxpayer funding.
Earlier this week, The Daily Signal used information from 2nd Vote to publish the names of 41 companies listed by Planned Parenthood as contributors. Shortly after the story was published, representatives from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox contacted The Daily Signal to say they were erroneously listed and requested that Planned Parenthood take them off its website.
The companies were cited by Planned Parenthood as employers who match charitable contributions. Planned Parenthood is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that is exempt from paying federal income taxes.
A representative from Coca-Cola confirmed for The Daily Signal the company does not contribute to Planned Parenthood, nor does it match employee contributions to the organization.
When told that its named appeared on Planned Parenthood’s website, the Coca-Cola representative said, “We’ll ask them to correct the information.”
Other companies voiced similar concerns about Planned Parenthood’s donor list.
“We are making sure that Ford Motor Company is not listed as a Planned Parenthood contributor on their website,” a representative from Ford told The Daily Signal.
“In addition, we do not offer an employee match for charitable contributions,” the Ford representative said. It has been at least 10 years since Ford stopped matching employee gift contributions, the representative added.
Similarly, Xerox was listed on the Planned Parenthood website and has said it also does not donate in any way.
“We checked our files for the last 20 years and have no record of Xerox Corp. contributing to Planned Parenthood,” a representative from Xerox told The Daily Signal.
By Wednesday afternoon, Planned Parenthood had removed Xerox from its list of companies that match gifts to the organization. By Thursday morning, Planned Parenthood removed every company name listed as a donor.
Instead of listing companies by name, the site simply says, “Does your employer match charitable contributions? If so, please contact your Human Resources Department for more information about how your gift may be matched.”
Planned Parenthood did not return The Daily Signal’s request for comment.
This comes less than two weeks after an undercover video describing Planned Parenthood’s sale of fetal body parts was released.

is there a list of actual donors and the date and amount of the donations???
Why does our side (the Repub machine) NEVER bring this out? This is why people are liking Trump. He’s calling these jackasses out!
Time for shaming the Susan G Kommen Foundation.
Will the NFL and other SGKF supporters sever their ties? Cut the pink ribbons.
Definitely. I haven’t trusted that Kommen bunch for a long time.
Nice that they have that freedom. Taxpayers do not
THAT needs to be on EVERY thread!!!
Converse are owned by Nike, so...no surprise. They ruined my beloved Chuck Taylor All-Stars.
The more relevant question: Why were they giving money to Planned Parenthood in the first place?
Abortionist Dr Nucatola was nonchalantly drinking wine and eating salad while discussing dissected dead babies. Brings to mind the Nazi evil..... coldly calculating how much they could get for selling the gold teeth, hair, shoes and eye glasses of those freshly hauled from the gas chambers.
Even more gruesome, ponder that the Planned Parenthood Nazis had to keep babies alive to make sure the organs were fresh....particularly organs used for transplants are required to be fresh.
===============================================
NOW WAIT FOR IT the next video might show them talking about a higher demand for "organs of certain races."
It doesn’t matter which way it goes. If they want more minority organs, they will look like they want to kill minorities. If they want more white organs, then it will look like they think white people are superior. (hat tip FReeper MARKO 413)
I see donors asking to be removed from the list. Don’t see any vows to stop donating.
Outstanding news. This is quite a pleasant surprise. We normally lose companies to liberal views, but this is companies winning with conservative views.........I am happy today and will have a coke at some point.
I haven’t come across one yet, only the one on this site that’s been published:

And, of course, now Coke, Ford, and Xerox, are off the above linked list.
That graphic should be on billboards across the nation. Also, Trump should publish it as a full-page print ad in every major publication.
“We are making sure that Ford Motor Company is not listed as a Planned Parenthood contributor on their website,” a representative from Ford told The Daily Signal.
“In addition, we do not offer an employee match for charitable contributions,” the Ford representative said. It has been at least 10 years since Ford stopped matching employee gift contributions, the representative added."
Ford is one of the big pushers of degeneracy in the U.S. There is no way they are refraining from supporting Planned Parenthood.
Please remove us from your donor list, we’d like to be anonymous instead.
Don’t be fooled. The common dodge is to contribute to some “charitable trust” or through the United Way or a private foundation which then funnels the money to Planned Parenthood, only through a middleman. That way, the employer can say with a straight face “we don’t give money to Planned Parenthood” but they still do. Dayton-Hudson (Target stores) revealed that little trick when they were in a kerfuffle with abortion donations 20 years ago. THEY were giving to Planned Parenthood, it was their charitable foundation that was giving the money to Planned Parenthood. The roaches will go undercover until the lights get turned off again.
What’s stunning is the sheer size of the PP business enterprise -
In 2013 -’14 PP grossed $1.304 Billion
$528.4 Million came from the USG, or 40%+ of their income from your tax
$$$s and mine! http://issuu.com/actionfund/docs/annual_report_final_proof_12.16.14_?e=0/10721633 .
Can you imagine the hit to their operations IF our tax dollars were cut off?
They did “327,653 abortions” in ‘13 - ‘14,
that’s 1365+ abortions every 5-day week,
or 34+/hour;
Putting this into perspective another baby dies in less than every 2 minutes in a PP clinic
