The following comes from a July 23 Daily Signal article by Chelsea Scism:
Representatives from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox say they’ve asked Planned Parenthood to remove their names as corporate donors to the embattled organization.
The move follows a Daily Signal report revealing the names of 41 companies that Planned Parenthood listed as donors. That list, which was featured on Planned Parenthood’s website, has since been removed.
This latest development comes in the wake of two undercover videos that showed Planned Parenthood executives talking about the sale of fetal body parts. Planned Parenthood is facing both federal and state investigations—and the possibility of losing taxpayer funding.
Earlier this week, The Daily Signal used information from 2nd Vote to publish the names of 41 companies listed by Planned Parenthood as contributors. Shortly after the story was published, representatives from Coca-Cola, Ford Motor Co. and Xerox contacted The Daily Signal to say they were erroneously listed and had requested that Planned Parenthood take them off its website.
The companies were cited by Planned Parenthood as employers who match charitable contributions. Planned Parenthood is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that is exempt from paying federal income taxes.
A representative from Coca-Cola confirmed for The Daily Signal that the company does not contribute to Planned Parenthood, nor does it match employee contributions to the organization.
When told that its named appeared on Planned Parenthood’s website, the Coca-Cola representative said, “We’ll ask them to correct the information.”
Other companies voiced similar concerns about Planned Parenthood’s donor list.
“We are making sure that Ford Motor Company is not listed as a Planned Parenthood contributor on their website,” a representative from Ford told The Daily Signal.
Similarly, Xerox was listed on the Planned Parenthood website and has said it also does not donate in any way.
By Wednesday afternoon, Planned Parenthood had removed Xerox from its list of companies that match gifts to the organization. By Thursday morning, Planned Parenthood removed every company name listed as a donor.
This comes less than two weeks after an undercover video describing Planned Parenthood’s sale of fetal body parts was released.
Cockroaches always run for cover when the lights are turned on.
Lol. Good one Anne T
I never thought I would live to see this day: when corporate America flees sponsorship of PP and dissociates themselves from them. This will seriously hurt Margaret Sanger, Inc.
Too bad it wasn’t a gutsy Catholic org that exposed them, once and for all, for what Planned Parenthood really is. Maybe being “obsessed” with the lives of the unborn is worthy calling, P Francis. Too bad you demurred to help.
Weve had good Catholics in the past exposing them on what they can catch them. I understand what you mean Steve, miracles do happen and now im glad this is happening. I pray for more justice be done for all the innocent unborn who have been slaughtered.
It remains to be seen if certain Corporations flee from the evils of Planned Parenthood.
So far they have not stopped donating but merely asked to have their names removed from the public PP site as donors.

Sandra,
Looking at the large number of companies on the list, I could not but help to think that there may be racial overtones to this corporate giving. Since it’s a poorer demographic (i.e. blacks and hispanics) that would use free or low-cost birth control, I find it interesting that white, corporate America seems to be giving quite generously.
I was not calling people cockroaches but just saying that some people are certainly acting like them. It has been known in the prolife community that some companies do use fetal material for experiments, including the cosmetic industry.. I always check any face creams I buy to see if animal experiments are used. Then I check to see what “animal” is used even if I have to call the company. I avoid them. Yes, “going green” is often a very good thing, including Natural Family out of necessity for married couples.
I only mentioned Natural Family Planning for serious reason for married couples because the birth control pill is a carcinogen and harmful to women, and it is getting into our sewage and polluting some of our water sources and deforming the fish, and Planned Parenthood passes it out like candy, even to very young teens.
