Planned Parenthood, the largest seller of abortions in the United States, has located 80% of its abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods, disproportionally targeting minorities for abortion.

A) Seller?? This isn't a freakin' flea market! They provide medical services.
B) I notice that OR fails to state the stats as to how much of PP's services involve abortion coverage. In case anyone hasn't heard, only 3% of their services are related to abortion. The remainder of their services can be found on this fact sheet.
I'm sure the reason PP typically sets up shop in minority neighborhoods has NOTHING to do with the fact that the remaining 97% of their medical services are more affordable for low income individuals which, SHOCKER OF ALL SHOCKS! are usually found in minority neighborhoods. In fact, people of low income don't need pap smears, breast exams, family planning information, preventative care or testing for STI's. It makes so much more sense for Planned Parenthood to take the 3% of their services and base their location around that, and then COERCE minority women into having abortions. PP sure has it all figured out! I'm sure Cecile Richards is sitting in her office right now, snickering and and thinking to herself, "Suckaaaaas!!!"
Come on, Operation Rescue. Perhaps you should look at all the facts before you start spewing your ideological garbage and trying to CREATE racism and tension where it doesn't exist. Planned Parenthood is nothing but incredibly supportive and helpful for these communities.
Can you say the same for your organization?
If you are just beginning to read my blog, here is the first post that briefly describes the purpose.
