Was King a fan of abortion? I really don’t know.

I don’t know that Dr. King would not have approved of Jeremiah Wright, but I recently read a book that covered his political outlook and that of his family.

Matt Towery’s (longtime political strategist from Atlanta) recent book, Paranoid Nation has an entire chapter on the King family. Here’s more on his book: http://townhall.com/columnists/MattTowery/2008/12/18/a_glimpse_at_a_brighter_future_for_the_paranoid_nation?page=full&comments=true

He tells the story of their Republican roots and switch to become Democrats for the Kennedys bailing Dr. King and others out of jail once. He also goes into details on Dr. King’s beliefs surrounding the civil rights movement.

Also see this by a Maryland minister on if Dr. King would be a conservative or a liberal today? He uses King’s speeches and prayers to draw that he would have been a social conservative (like his outspoken niece Alveda is today). It’s an interesting article: http://townhall.com/columnists/HarryRJacksonJr/2007/01/15/dr_martin_luther_king,_jr_conservative_or_liberal?page=1

Considering that Wright teaches Black Liberation Theology, which is a Marxist-based theology, and King was a Baptist which did and still does teach freedom through hard work, it’s doubtful to me that Dr. King would have appreciated Jeremiah Wright.

I think Wright would have been more appreciated by Malcolm X.
