Boise, ID (LifeNews.com) -- After news surfaced earlier this week that Planned Parenthood of Idaho had accepted a donation from someone pretending to want it to go towards abortions on black babies, the abortion business initially apologized. Now, its main spokeswoman is criticizing the pro-life students that organized the investigation.
As LifeNews.com initially reported, pro-life students at UCLA organized a probe to find out if Planned Parenthood offices in seven states would accept racist donations.
PPI was one of the affiliates to accept it and Autumn Kersey, Vice-President of Marketing and Development for the pro-abortion group, laughed at the racist intent and called it "understandable."
Yesterday, Planned Parenthood of Idaho CEO Rebecca Poedy released a statement to the media apologizing.
"Planned Parenthood firmly and unequivocally denounces racial bias in the delivery of health care," the statement read.
It continued: "A fund raising employee violated the organization's principles and practices when she appeared to be willing to accept a racially motivated donation. This employee made a serious mistake. We apologize for the manner in which this offensive call was handled."
However, Poedy appeared to backtrack from the apology in comments to the Boise Weekly, a liberal publication.
She painted the calls as misleading and said PPI was a victim of race-baiting.
"It's an extremist, anti-choice group that has manipulated a 25-minute conversation," Poedy said. "It's not an accurate representation of the transcript."
"They're all designed with an intent to bait someone into a conversation they can then manipulate," she added.
Poedy told the Boise newspaper PPI never accepted money from the call and reported it immediately to the national Planned Parenthood office for an internal probe.
She also admitted that her staff mishandled the call, but said PPI wasn't prepared for it.
"We need to train our staff to handle calls from people that are coming with offensive agendas," she said.
It's not "extremist" for pro-life groups to expose Klan Barrenhood's racist agenda.

hmm. did this make 60 Minutes? 20-20? The news?
"Planned Parenthood firmly and unequivocally denounces racial bias in the delivery of health care," the statement read.
Equal opportunity genocide. How enlightened.
this reads like a really bad evangelical novel from the '90's. it cannot be made up.
“We need to train our people to deal with calls that have an offensive agenda.”
Planned Parenthood and everyone who works for them has an offensive agenda. You mean you’re admitting there are WRONG reasons for an abortion? That certain people may have WRONG reasons to be for abortion? Can the MOTHER be a person who can have a wrong reason to abort her baby? Or is she always right no matter what.
Freakin’ death-dealing, baby killing hypocrites.
Gotta train your people not to be so honest. I am sure however Margaret Sanger was proud of your receptionist’s ‘understanding’. I mean she had 25 friggin minutes to object to the guy’s reasoning. Nope, gotta bring the money in. Death-peddling ba$tards.
‘She also admitted that her staff mishandled the call, but said PPI wasn’t prepared for it.’
Should we or shouldn’t we accept money to commit genocide. A tough one. May take several conferences to decide. Probably will need taxpayer financing to complete.
This begs the questions: How many others accepted; and which ones are they?
And this is different than a donation to The United Negro College Fund; or specifying that an 'endowment' be only used to benefit a college or university's minority students, how? It isn't like the money was only to be used to "benefit" 'dem white debbils'.
“delivery of health care”....you’ve got to be kidding.
Fascinating conversation there Autumn had.
And I notice they DID mention that ALL the branches contacted accpeted.
Thank you!
They’re like the thief who isn’t at all sorry he stole, but he’s terribly, terribly sorry he got caught.
