Professor Pens Book Claiming Pro-Life Movement Is Fueled by Racism
The Washington Stand ^ | July 5, 2025 | Ellie Gardey Holmes

Abortion advocates must feel latent embarrassment over how abortion has resulted in a smaller minority population in the United States because of the disproportionate killing of unborn African American and Hispanic children.

Such shame can be clearly seen in a book set to be released next month by a radically pro-abortionist professor at the University of Kentucky, Carol Mason. In her book, Mason spins up a fever dream that can only be interpreted as pure projection: She claims that the pro-life movement is fueled by racism and white supremacy.

The pro-life movement, Mason posits in her book, is tied to “white supremacist, Christian nationalist and authoritarian movements.” Further, she says, “white nationalism has been making inroads in the American imagination under the guise of opposing abortion.”

Yes, the grassroots pro-life movement, the one made up of ordinary American men and women of all races who are working together to protect the lives of their neighbors’ unborn children — particularly those who are underprivileged — is supposedly part of a racist plot pushing an agenda of white nationalism.

In her book, Mason grasps at straws to prove her nonsense. She claims that “far-right populists” fear that “people of color” will “overpower them demographically with high birth rates.” Mason goes on to say, “This fear of demographic and cultural demise has for years manifested as opposition to abortion for white people.”

But … wait. Since when has any member of the pro-life movement sought to save only the lives of children from a particular race? In reality, it has been the abortion industry which has systemically placed its facilities in minority communities and purposefully carried out a strategy of convincing minority women to seek out abortions. A 2015 study found that 79% of Planned Parenthood surgical abortion facilities are “located within walking distance of African and/or Hispanic communities.”

As a result of this targeting, black women are nearly four times more likely to go to a clinic to have their child aborted than white women. In 2021, 42% of women who had abortions were black, 30% were white, 22% were Hispanic, and 6% were women of other races, according to the CDC. A Planned Parenthood affiliate has even acknowledged the organization’s racist grounding by removing the name of its eugenicist founder, Margaret Sanger, from a clinic because of “her racist legacy.” A congressional report from 2015 found that 19 million American black children had been slaughtered by abortion since Roe v. Wade, and regretfully millions more black children have died since then.

The abortion facilities that Carol Mason presents as paragons of racial solidarity push the narrative that minority women are incapable of caring for their own children and need to have them murdered instead, lest those kids take up too many societal resources. These facilities hand women a few pills and tell them they’ll be liberated if they just make their child’s heart stop beating. On the other hand, the network of pro-life pregnancy resource centers that she claims are racist pour out resources and love upon expectant mothers to help them care for their growing family. These centers give out of love for every single human person and without regard for race.

It is quite clear that Carol Mason’s forthcoming book, “From the Clinics to the Capitol: How Opposing Abortion Became Insurrectionary,” is fantastical propaganda meant to obscure reality amidst a genocidal targeting of minority children. But it is also a truly embarrassing book. In hatchet-job fashion, she seeks to link the pro-life movement to the January 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol and lazily claims that the pro-life movement is a threat to democracy. “[O]pposing abortion has come to imperil democracy worldwide,” says the book’s description. In her estimation, the pro-life movement is linked to a scheme of anti-government violence: “[A]bortion foes,” she says, “join other militants in waging war against the federal government.” Part of the pro-life movement’s supposedly authoritarian streak is — gasp — the movement’s connection to those who oppose “trans acceptance” and who don’t want “queer-themed books” in public schools.

Even early reviewers from liberal publications are scratching their heads over Mason’s wholesale conclusion that pro-lifers are engaged in a plot to create a whiter America.

Eleanor J. Bader, writing in Indypendent, noted (to her credit) the large proportion of pro-lifers who are not of European descent, citing in particular the groups Hispanics for Life and African Americans for Life, as well as black evangelicals opposed to abortion. “It is unclear how this fits into Mason’s framework,” Bader says. Laughably — and in racist fashion — Bader called the “existence” of such pro-life groups “troubling.”

Mason’s book, which will be published by University of California Press, will be on shelves next month for the low price of $95.

The Pro-life movement is racist?

Leftist Margaret Sanger was unashamedly racist and openly spoke about eliminating other races.

Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist. Why are we still celebrating her?

"Sanger’s eugenics project carried its own racial preoccupation. In a letter of Dec. 10, 1939, to Clarence Gamble (cited here), she explains the nature of her organization’s outreach to the African-American community: “The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don’t want the word to get out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.” In her autobiography she proudly recounts her address to the women of the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, N.J., in 1926."

Impressive level of deceit, given how the abortion mills were created by Margaret Thanger, a vicious racist who desired the death of blacks, Irish, Jews, and other “undesirables”.

And, because, overwhelmingly, the most common victims of abortion are black children.

I should be amazed, but I am not. I’ve grown to expect this.

Won’t work as TP. Pages too saturated with BS.

The Quran has similar deficiencies.

It’s like Catechism class. When called on and not paying attention I just said “Jesus” and it worked every time.

To the liberal, could be any of the reasons - they’ll just choose 1 at random.

Be sure not to apply any reason or logic to a liberal as they choose their topic/cause for their book.

The racism trope is finished.
Reasons people don’t want them around are shown and spelled out every day.
Even Carnival Cruise lines has given up.
The fatigue is real. Pull your pants up.
