Three U.S. Corporations Say Planned Parenthood Erroneously Listed Them As Donors

Three U.S. corporations have reportedly claimed that they were erroneously listed as donors to Planned Parenthood, and their company names have been subsequently removed from the Planned Parenthood website.

Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Company and Xerox all reportedly requested this week that they be removed from Planned Parenthood's list of corporate donors, as reported by The Daily Signal.

Representatives for the three companies reportedly contacted The Daily Signal to indicate that were not in fact donors to Planned Parenthood, suggesting that the information listed on the abortion provider's website is inaccurate.

The abortion organization is a nonprofit, so therefore it listed Coca-Cola, Xerox and the Ford Motor Co. as employers who matched the charitable contributions of their employees.

The Ford Motor Co. told The Daily Signal that they were erroneously listed on the abortion provider's website, saying: "[…] we do not offer an employee match for charitable contributions."

Both Xerox and Coca-Cola also told the media outlet that they too do not match employee donations nor contribute to the abortion provider in any way.

Planned Parenthood has been the topic of heightened criticism in recent weeks after the activist group the Center for Medical Progress released two secretly-filmed videos that allegedly show Planned Parenthood executives discussing the costs associated with the removal and preservation of fetal body parts during an abortion.

The videos have resulted in members of Congress drafting legislation calling for the federal defunding of Planned Parenthood, as well as lawmakers calling for an investigation into the abortion organization to ensure that the group is not profiting off of the donation of fetal body parts.

Texas Senator Ted Cruz and Kentucky Senator Rand Paul have been especially outspoken regarding the videos, with Cruz calling the organization a "criminal enterprise" in a recent interview with the Fox Business Network.

"We should not be funding a criminal enterprise that is committing felonies, that is selling the body parts of unborn children. It's grotesque and sickening, and that — we should all be able to agree on that," Cruz said.
