They also criticized The Advocate for trying to discredit employees with recorded phone calls
Planned Parenthood of Idaho officials apologized Wednesday for what they called an employee's "serious mistake" in encouraging a donation aimed at aborting black babies.
They also criticized The Advocate, a right-to-life student magazine at the University of California-Los Angeles, for trying to discredit Planned Parenthood employees in seven states in a series of tape-recorded phone calls last summer.
The call to Idaho came in July to Autumn Kersey, vice president of development and marketing for Planned Parenthood of Idaho.
On the recording provided by The Advocate, an actor portraying a donor said he wanted his money used to eliminate black unborn children because "the less black kids out there the better."
Kersey laughed nervously and said: "Understandable, understandable. ... 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."
On Tuesday, The Advocate released transcripts and audio recordings of this phone call and another to fundraising representatives in Ohio.
The student editor-in-chief of The Advocate said she's not surprised by Planned Parenthood's response and that the unedited recordings speak for themselves. The activist students think Planned Parenthood targets minorities and minority neighborhoods.
On Wednesday, Planned Parenthood of Idaho "firmly and unequivocally" denounced racial bias, admitted making a mistake and said the group had taken corrective action.
"A fundraising employee violated the organization's principles and practices when she appeared to be willing to accept a racially motivated donation," said CEO Rebecca Poedy in a written statement. "We apologize for the manner in which this offensive call was handled. We take full responsibility for the actions of the fundraising staff member who created the impression that..."

Yeah, yeah... like in the other six states where every Planned Murderhood did EXACTLY the same criminal behavior.
God bless the incredible students at UCLA once again.
LOL!
Margaret Sanger’s eugenic dream is alive and, again, ignored by the complicit establishment media.
With all their talk of “diversity” (and what the hell’s wrong with “unity”) they sure don’t seem to like or respect Black Americans very much.

Translation: we’re sorry we got caught. We won’t get caught again.
Outrage from Black Democrats and liberals all for Planned Parenthood’s actions ...(chirp, chirp)
The donor was just trying to take them back to their roots.
That’s how PP’s founder Margret Sanger believed. The less black and Southern European babies, the better.
She was into eugenics and master race BS 20 years before Adolf Hitler and her writings influenced him.
Abortion has been an American holocaust with 50 million plus deaths, plus another 15 billion never born to those who would have been old enough to have children.
But the rate of abortion of blacks is significantly higher than non blacks and remains a scandal that the race pimps will not touch with a ten foot pole.
I don’t believe Planned Parenthood is a racist organization. Its stock in trade is the killing of unborn babies, and motives are irrelevant. Birth control, sex selection, convenience, racism or no reason at all is a good enough reason to kill a baby as far as they’re concerned. It’s not hard to imagine that compulsory abortion for politically anomolous genetic proclivities isn’t just around the corner.
Its roots were certainly racist. Margaret Sanger promoted the killing of these black and other racially ethnic babies. The apple does NOT fall far from the tree, my FRiend.
