ABC's Martha Raddatz debunked GOP presidential candidate Dr. Ben Carson's claim that Planned Parenthood engages in racist population control by targeting black communities.

On the August 16 edition of ABC's This Week, Carson spoke with Raddatz on the campaign trail in Iowa. Raddatz asked Carson about his controversial comments he made on August 12, when he said Planned Parenthood is targeting African-American communities to control their population by placing “most of their clinics in black neighborhoods.” Raddatz debunked this claim, saying, “Planned Parenthood estimates that fewer than five percent of its health centers are located in areas where more than one-third of the population is African-American”:

NPR also debunked Carson's statement in an August 14 fact check:

In 2014, the Guttmacher Institute, a reproductive health research center, surveyed all known abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood clinics, in the U.S. (nearly 2,000) and found that 60 percent are in majority-white neighborhoods.

[...] 

[R]esponding to a request for demographic information, the organization said that in 2013, 14 percent of its patients nationwide were black. That's nearly equal to the proportion of the African-American population in the U.S.

UPDATE: An August 18 post by Glenn Kessler for The Washington Post's Fact-Checker blog also deemed  Ben Carson's claim that Planned Parenthood targets black communities to be false. Giving the claim “four pinnoccios,” Kessler explained that “the evidence shows that a relatively small percentage of clinics are in black-majority neighborhoods - or even in neighbothoods where blacks are more than one-quarter of the population.”
