Transcript released by The Advocate BY SANDRA FORESTER

I doubt The Advocate was trying to “discredit” Planned Parenthood’s employees so much as reveal the truth about them.

Autumn Kersey could have easily corrected this “donor.” She could have atleast said something to the effect that babies are not aborted based on their race/ethnicity/gender, etc.; she had multiple opportunities to do so. Instead, her comments either approve of what this “donor” had to say, or they shifted toward the fact that a donation was being made and not the purpose of the donation.

If Kersey does not have racist beliefs, she certainly salivated at the thought of a donation, so much so that even outrageous and racist statements didn’t bother her.

On the other hand, one ought not to expect decency from the #1 abortion provider in America.
