As part of an investigation conducted by a pro-life student magazine at the University of California at Los Angeles, Planned Parenthood employees agreed to accept money despite the donor's stated request that the funds be used to abort African American babies.

The Advocate printed transcripts of two of these calls in its winter issue. The magazine's advisor made the calls last summer, posing as a potential donor. "Despite his bigoted requests," editor-in-chief Lila Rose wrote, "no Planned Parenthood employee (or director of development, in one case) declined the tainted money."

One of the transcripts detailed a call to Planned Parenthood in Ohio. The "donor" told the employee, "There's definitely way too many Black people in Ohio, so I am just trying to do my part." He added, "Well, Blacks especially need abortions, so that's what I'm trying to do." The response was direct and to the point, according to The Advocate: "For whatever reason, we'll accept the money."

In a call to Planned Parenthood of Idaho, director of development Autumn Kersey spoke to the purported donor, The Advocate reported. The donor specified how the money was to be used: "The abortionI can give money specifically for a black baby, that would be the purpose?" He went on to further clarify that "we just think, the less black kids out there the better."

"Understandable, understandable," Kersey responded, according to The Advocate's transcript. She went on to reassure the caller, "Excuse my hesitation, this is the first time I've had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I'm excited, and want to make sure I don't leave anything out."
