Planned Parenthood continues to face allegations of systemic racism as more former staffers file lawsuits and testify to poor treatment while working for the nation’s number one abortion corporation.
The Philadelphia Inquirer reported that at least two dozen racial discrimination lawsuits have been filed against various Planned Parenthood affiliates, with staffers telling the outlet that racism is an inherent part of the company’s culture. One was an affiliate COO. Another alleged a hostile work environment where Black employees were treated “with disdain.” Another woman, a Black nurse practitioner, says her manager threw a patient’s urine sample at her desk, allowing urine to splash all over her desk. Eventually, she was laid off — in retaliation, she claims, for filing complaints of racial discrimination — in 2021.

“What if this is someone else’s dream job and they look like me?” the woman, Michelle Fisher, said. “I want other people to be able to go in there and not be treated like that.”
She has since filed a lawsuit against Planned Parenthood of Northern, Central and Southern New Jersey, which is still ongoing. “If we can’t count on Planned Parenthood to respect Black employees, how can we count on them to care for people of color as patients?” asked Valerie Shore, Fisher’s attorney.
Planned Parenthood has a long, well-documented history of racism, which dates back to its very founding. Though the abortion corporation has since tried to disaffiliate itself from founder Margaret Sanger, her legacy of racism and eugenics still runs through the organization. Many men whom Sanger hired to serve on her board were known eugenicists — some with ties to the Ku Klux Klan. She also organized experimental birth control testing on Puerto Rican women without their knowledge or consent, and supported the Supreme Court’s Buck v. Bell decision, which allowed anyone deemed “unfit” to be sterilized without their consent.
Today, hundreds of employees continue to allege a culture of racism and white supremacy exists at Planned Parenthood.
Allegations against Planned Parenthood are wide-ranging, from Black employees labeled “angry” to orthodox Jewish women being derided as “birthing factories” who needed birth control. A Vietnamese employee said her manager screamed at her, “It’s so annoying that you can’t speak English!”
Eve J. Higginbotham, the vice dean for inclusion and diversity at University of Pennsylvania Perelman School of Medicine, told the Inquirer that the number of complaints and lawsuits suggest a much larger problem than Planned Parenthood wants to admit. “If I’m at the executive leadership level of an organization like Planned Parenthood, I would certainly look at the processes we have in place if I got even one complaint like that,” she said. “Having several suggests there is a systemic issue.”

IMPORTANT NOTE: Although millions of American parents send their precious children off to public school every day, imagining their kids' days will be filled with reading, writing, arithmetic, science, history, sports and music, they're not only in for a shock – but for total BETRAYAL. Today's "public" (government) schools have become far-left ideological, political and religious indoctrination centers aimed at reprogramming and transforming America's children.
Kids are being taught to HATE their own country and to see themselves and their parents as racists – or victims of racists. They are sexualized and corrupted, and many are groomed into the dark LGBT world, with almost 6,000 schools prohibiting parents from even hearing about their child's transgender "transition." In between all the far-left indoctrination and sexual corruption, teachers take time to scare children to death about the near-term end of life on earth due to "catastrophic climate change." Another lie. But it's all classic Marxism/communism, with even the "3 R's" – reading, writing and arithmetic – now being corrupted with "woke," "1984"-style madness.
Perhaps never has the true threat of today's U.S. public school system been exposed as in the sensational April issue of WND's critically acclaimed monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled "THE GREATEST BETRAYAL: How Marxism and madness have taken over America's public school system." Whistleblower is available in both the popular print edition and a state-of-the-art digital version, either single issues or discounted annual subscriptions.
