Planned Parenthood uses a commercial fundraising telemarketing firm to raise some of its donations, but donors are likely unaware that only a small percentage of their offering (if any at all) is going to Planned Parenthood (America&#8217;s abortion conglomerate). The rest of their money goes into the coffers of the for-profit fundraising firm. The author explains:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>One campaign for the Planned Parenthood Federation of America in New York had revenues of\u00a0<b>$2 million<\/b>\u00a0\u2013 but the nonprofit wound up losing\u00a0<b>$1.8 million<\/b>\u00a0nonetheless, for a return of minus\u00a0<b>92.8 percent<\/b>, according to data collected by the California attorney general.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Doug White, who teaches ethics and fundraising at Columbia University, says he doesn&#8217;t blame the for-profit fundraisers. &#8220;I blame the nonprofits [like Planned Parenthood] that use them over and over and over again,&#8221; he told the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.ocregister.com\/taxdollars\/charity-599836-charities-percent.html?page=1\"><em>Register<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>A report from New York&#8217;s attorney general on the issue asks:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Why are we allowing such a high percentage of our donations to be paid to a for-profit professional fundraising company? Is that really the best we can do?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Is it surprising that Planned Parenthood would engage in a shady fundraising venture like this? No. Absolutely not. Consider the following <a href=\"http:\/\/www.liveaction.org\/the-planned-parenthood-racism-project\/\">telephone exchange<\/a> between a Planned Parenthood worker in Ohio and a Live Action member posing as a donor:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Ohio Donor:<\/strong>\u00a0There\u2019s definitely way too many Black people in Ohio, so I am just trying to do my part.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PP Rep:<\/strong>\u00a0OK, whatever.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ohio Donor:<\/strong>\u00a0Well, Blacks especially need abortions, so that\u2019s what I\u2019m trying to do.<\/p>\n<p><strong>PP Rep:<\/strong>\u00a0For whatever reason, we\u2019ll accept the money.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Ohio Donor:<\/strong>\u00a0OK. Great, thank you.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Planned Parenthood will take money any way, regardless of whether it is being earmarked for unethical purposes, or obtained by unethical means. Planned Parenthood&#8217;s bottom line always trumps.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A recent report by the Orange County Register documents how Planned Parenthood is one of many organizations that participate in what are largely believed to be unethical fundraising campaigns.
