Expect no retraction or apology. This what they do.
I had 20 abortions.
How often can they spend the same dollar? Anyways, any dollar of that $3 billion that goes to Planned Parenthood would be one less dollar for educating children of color. Why does PP hate minority children?!
By some estimate there are over 300K abortions per year in the U.S. by African America women and since Roe v Wade at least 15-20M or more. Yet there is no outrage or protesting PP. Now add in the mortality rates for women of color during pregnancy and childbirth which is 3 times higher than caucasian women plus inferior/subpar healthcare. Looks like Genocide to me. Sad world we live in today.
