Abortion activists with Planned Parenthood complained that two new laws signed by Tennessee Gov. Bill Haslam this week will “hurt women of color.”
Implying a possible racist motivation, the abortion chain’s Tennessee branch slammed the governor Wednesday because he signed two laws to defund Planned Parenthood and other abortion groups of state taxpayer dollars.
“This hurts patients. It prevents them from seeing a healthcare provider they choose. Specifically, in our area, reproductive healthcare is difficult to access for some people,” said Sarah Wallet, the medical director for Planned Parenthood of Greater Memphis. “There’s a lot of stigma surrounding reproductive healthcare. This will especially hurt women of color.”
At best, the claim is far-fetched. Women still have plenty of places to go in Tennessee to seek health care, and neither law reduces funding; they merely redirect it to groups that offer comprehensive healthcare but not abortions.
Federally-qualified community health centers vastly outnumber Planned Parenthood facilities in Tennessee and provide much more comprehensive health care. A 2015 comparison showed 187 service sites in Tennessee compared to just four Planned Parenthoods.

At worst, Wallet’s statement is hypocritical. Planned Parenthood targets minority women and their unborn babies for abortions. One analysis found that Planned Parenthood placed 79 percent of its abortion facilities within walking distance of minority neighborhoods. Many believe its founder, Margaret Sanger, also targeted blacks as part of her eugenic beliefs.
The abortion rate is disproportionately high in the black American community. Even though black Americans make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, 35 percent of the babies killed in abortions are black, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The black genocide of abortion is disturbingly evident in New York City, where state data shows more black babies are aborted than are born.
This move by Tennessee to prioritize funding to comprehensive health clinics – which offer mammograms, prenatal care and other services that Planned Parenthood does not – actually will help women and unborn babies by supporting programs that do not promote the killing of a family member as a method of “reproductive healthcare.”
So, he’s racist because he doesn’t want to finance the killing of the babies of a particular race? OK, but I would say he’s not racist against that particular race. Quite the opposite, actually.
Oh, and whoever brings up race first is the racist.
Yes, of course he’s a racist.
I’m a racist, you’re a racists, she’s racist, we’re all racists.
Its the new corollary to Godwin’s Law
Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, was an avowed racist, using abortion as her mechanism for Eugenics.
Proportionally, twice as many Black babies are aborted as Whites.
So, WHO are the “racists”?
Yeah! He just pointed a finger at a mirror.
Where are Diamond and Silk. They could make good hay here.

And?
I remember when it was RACIST to kill black babies.
From a previous post but relevant here also...
Question: Why is there not ONE state that enforces their anti-abortion laws?
Answer: Because rejecting and nullifying unconstitutional federal prohibition of state anti-abortion laws would mean federal funding gets cut off from that state. So it’s all about the money. And DEPENDENCE on the feds.
Where is the first state that will stand up to the feds and say, “WE WILL BE FINANCIALLY INDEPENDENT OF THE FEDS”, and then begin rejecting unconstitutional federal acts like forced pro-abortion?
ONE STATE!!! That’s all it would take to start the ball rolling. Where is that state, Governor, and legislature with the guts and determination to stand against tyranny and death???
You’ve broken the code! Sadly, those wanting us to pay for their murderings don’t actually care what race is slaughtering their alive unborn children.
The argument was made a couple of decades ago that the purpose of legal and free abortion was to reduce the black (and, for that matter white trash) population in subsequent generations.
I actually do consider “free” abortion to be an attack on the black population that is so efficient that it is as if it is the brainchild of KKK leadership. The stats don’t lie.
And xenophobes and sexists and Hitler...
Godwin was a racist.
Not only the killings but the moral cheapening of humanity — both black and white, whoever participates in this crazy game.
These days being called a ‘racist’ is a Badge of Honor.
And above the moral cheapening, which is lamentable, is spiritual cheapening, which is downright diabolical.
It has origins in the demonic horde. The clearly exposed delusion is the key to the origins. To argue that stopping state funding of abortions which are slaughtering a proportionally larger number of alive unborn black babies is a racist act is clearly delusional thinking, a hallmark of satan’s work among humankind. You can see this dichotomy in lots of leftist memes, like closing our borders to invaders is not protecting the Republic and Constitution, and improving the economic health of American individuals is fascist. A mind must be delusional to hold such opposite beliefs.
Killing your unborn baby is NOT reproductive health care.
If he were racist he would increase funding and make it mandatory for all NON-WHITE women who become pregnant to report to the govt clinic to have the baby killed in utero.
He is the governor. He did this and he can do the opposite if he chose to. But he chooses to not kill the babies inside all human females in his jurisdiction.
When individuals do thing democrats don’t like we are racists.
When Trump does things democrats don’t like, it’s a constitutional crisis.
“planned parenthood” murders tens of thousands of black babies, shreds them and sells their body parts. ...and they are calling someone not funding their ghoulish behavior racist? Bwaaaaahahahahaha.
“hurt women of color.”....and our bottom line from killing children if color.
