Reason #423 not to live in Idaho:
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.
I read this and I thought How many black people can be in the state of Idaho anyway? I bet it’s less than one percent.
Thanks to Jasper for the tip.

A quote from the article: The activist students think Planned Parenthood targets minorities and minority neighborhoods.
I worked for PP for 6 months (in constant fear of attack because of the strong protest presence–very high burnout related turnover there) and I can say with assurance that PP was available for (and did not need to target) all groups who could pay. The most ironic among them being young white Christian women who admitted they never thought it would happen to them.
At the time, and I doubt things have changed in a decade, they were the only clinic available to the uninsured poor–though cash was still required–which may be how the spin that they target minorities is possible to back with any kind of statistics.
Because of this equal opportunity availability, the clinic was rundown and poorly staffed. They did not even offer mild anesthesia because that would raise costs (you need more staff, more time to sedate women). You had to be insured or have lots more cash to use a clinic that offered such perks. Some of the nurses expressed the cruel hope that the lack of anesthesia would discourage future use of the clinic. Guess what, it didn’t.
If we liberals yawn, it’s because we get TIRED of hearing the SOS (Same Old Sh-t) alla the time.

Actually you guys, you know my repuatation and I am SOOO anti-Planned Parenthood http://blackgenocide.com/ By the way, prolifers receive a lot of violence too. I know a guy who has been nearly run over several times while peacefully offering crisis pregnancy info outside an abortion clinic.

More info here http://blackgenocide.org/planned.html Besides, it doesn’t matter how many black people live in Idaho, a disproportionate amount of Planned Parenthood clinics are in black communities.
