and our next volume and the real Barack Obama series now Barack Obama and his
stance on the issue of abortion he is a supporter of Planned Parenthood but the
group is under fire these days for agreeing to take money from people who
want to abort african-american babies
Planned Parenthood touts itself as being the most trusted advisor of reproductive
healthcare in America and it hopes to continue spreading its political and
social agenda this election season Barack Obama caught the eye of Planned
Parenthood well before he began his race for the White House has a long supporter
of pro-choice rights for women the Illinois Senator vowed to keep fighting
for their cause when he spoke over the summer to the Planned Parenthood Action
Fund there will always be people many of good will who do not share my view on
the issue of choice on this fundamental issue I will not yield and Planned
Parenthood will not yield and Barack Obama's voting record shows this to be
true early in his political career the junior Illinois Senator cited with
pro-choice legislation in 1997 Barack Obama opposed the bill banning partial
birth abortions in the Illinois State Senate Obama a law professor at the time
voted against the bill saying it was unconstitutional in 2002 he also voted
against the induced birth infant liability act requiring parents to be
financially responsible for the baby's medical bills and well-being if the
abortion is not successful with one more vacancy on the court we could be looking
at a majority hostile to a woman's fundamental right to choose for the
first time since Roe vs. Wade and that is what is at stake in this election
well it's time for us to change that it is time for a different attitude in the
White House it is time for a different attitude in the Supreme Court it is time
to turn the page and write a new chapter in American history
and Planned Parenthood wants to make sure farokh Obama is elected that his
opinions will not waver in 2004 Planned Parenthood contributed $10,000 to
Obama's Senatorial Campaign and they have already donated almost two thousand
dollars to his presidential campaign in addition the wall street journal reports
the planned parenthood is launching its own campaign to ensure that pro-abortion
candidates are elected to Congress and the White House this coming November
calling it the 1 million strong campaign the pro-choice organization house to go
door-to-door and spend ten million dollars with the hopes of persuading 1
million people to vote for pro-abortion candidates and as the abortion agency
Hannity: Planned Parenthood is finding itself in some extremely hot water.
In California, an independent student magazine,
run by a group of UCLA students, went undercover and recorded
phone conversations with Planned Parenthood.
Advocate staff and I decided to investigate
the racist history of Planned Parenthood and if it plays out
today in both their practical policies and how they affect minority
populations, but also their development department. We had an actor call up
Planned Parenthoods across the country to see how they would respond to someone
who had a very racist agenda.
Unfortunately, the call does not stop there
and the Planned Parenthood employee does not hang up the phone.
This is just one of several phone conversations
recorded by the students. The response of another administrator from Planned
Parenthood is just as shocking.
Lila Rose: seventy-nine percent of their clinics are in minority
neighborhoods and an African-American
baby is almost as likely to be aborted because of this as it is to be born.
Abortion is truly impacting, devastating the African-American community and
Planned Parenthood is behind that. All seven states, which was the extent of the
investigation, did not hang up the phone despite his racist request. Instead, they
agreed to process his donation which would target an African-American woman,
or they said they would get back to him to find a way to do so.
In a statement to the Fox News Channel,
the organization explained,
Fox News also reached out to Barack Obama's campaign
for a comment on the phone conversations
that the students recorded with Planned Parenthood but the campaign did not give
us a response. Planned Parenthood's influence in the political and social
arena has been enormous and they have a lot riding
on this election come November.
Barack Obama: Thanks to all of you at Planned Parenthood for all
the work that you are doing for women all across the country, and for families
all across the country, and for men who have enough sense to realize you're
helping them all across the country.
