A group of black ministers plans to protest at the Democratic and Republican national headquarters today to try to convince politicians to refuse donations from Planned Parenthood. Republican candidates get donations from Planned Parenthood? Anyway, the group is protesting because they say Planned Parenthood took donations from racist donors who wanted their money to go toward black abortions. For their part, Planned Parenthood says that they were victims of "phishing" and that their organization does not tolerate racism of any kind. It's not mentioned in the article, but Alveda King, the niece of MLK and leader of the group, is an extremely vocal pro-lifer. So the protest of Planned Parenthood is clearly not just about racist practices. [USN]
