Writer Awarded by Planned Parenthood Defends Black Abortions

Cynthia Tucker’s April 13 column, “Abortion is black genocide. Nonsense of course” is itself the nonsense. She writes from sheer hyperbole and outright distortions. But she’s an abortion apologist; it comes with the territory.

Margaret Sanger was an avowed, unapologetic eugenist and incorporated this racist pseudoscience into every effort of her birth control crusade. It’s not some conspiracy; it’s documented history. It’s as verifiable as Planned Parenthood awarding Ms. Tucker the Margaret Sanger Award last year for her journalistic “advocacy of abortion” and defense of the nation’s largest abortion chain.

And yes, abortion is their business, which is why they mandated all of their affiliates to provide abortions by 2013. With $1 billion in assets, they spend millions in every state on preventing any pro-life protections (waiting periods, parental consent/notification, women’s right-to-know, ultrasound, father’s rights, clinic standards) in order to protect their largest revenue stream of over $200 million annually—from abortions.

We have more access and usage of contraception than ever before in our history, yet the unintended pregnancy rate, according to the CDC, has remained at 50 percent for decades. Poverty has only risen since abortion was legalized in 1973; U.S. Census Bureau reports it’s the highest since the War on Poverty in the ‘60s. More contraception has only seen more abortions. Facts matter.

But Ms. Tucker has chosen to ignore the research and resort to something simpler—demonization. In fact, Ms. Tucker’s “Maggie” Award was won, in part, by an article she penned deriding The Radiance Foundation’s “Endangered Species” billboard/web campaign that led the public to TooManyAborted.com. As in the April 13 column, last year’s article could not accept the existence of black pro-lifers nor our focus on dealing with abortion’s devastating impact on the urban community. What about 60 percent of black pregnancies in NYC ending in abortion? This is the “logical solution” to life that is unplanned?

I didn’t realize as a black individual, I had to remain on the ideological plantation. According to Ms. Tucker and other abortion advocates, who regularly spew racial and gender animus, blacks who dare believe in the humanity of the preborn are mere puppets. Pro-life blacks, in their view, are enmeshed in some conspiracy and incapable of thinking for themselves. Now, this is racism.

As much as abortion defenders like mining for it, it’s a shame they are the ones ignoring racism where it historically exists while churning out epithets to avoid dealing with the epidemic of abortion in the black community. Tucker’s baseless accusations reveal how little she knows about Dr. Johnny Hunter or many other pro-life advocates who are engaged in their communities helping those in need, unwilling to wait for the government to ride in on a white, black or brown horse (had to make sure I was inclusive).

As one who was adopted and an adoptive father, I know the beauty of possibility and the passion with which people from all races defend human life in all of its stages. It’s a favorite talking point for abortion apologists, but I know of few people who are single-issue minded. As if having a singular focus on a human injustice is something to be ashamed of, anyway. Abolitionists had a singular focus to abolish the inhumanity of slavery. Perhaps they should have first worried about housing, health care, job opportunities, and equal pay before they embarked on such a narrow-minded mission.

Eugenics has been the three-corded strand (racism, elimination of the “unfit,” overpopulation mythology) that ties slavery, anti-miscegenation laws, Jim Crow laws, birth control and the epidemic of abortion together in an inseparable bind. It is the driving force behind Planned Parenthood’s, NARAL’s and abortion apologists’ relentless campaign to justify abortion no matter the reason, no matter the cost. We saw the disastrous consequence of this pro-abortion radicalism in Philly’s “House of Horrors” where abortionist Kermit Gosnell’s butchery went unabated for decades thanks to NARAL’s silence.

Abortion apologists like Ms. Tucker choose to ignore the voluminous irrefutable evidence of the racism and eugenics that defined Planned Parenthood’s beginnings and unaltered course. She chooses to throw out schools of red herrings and make laughable and completely unfounded accusations. Yet she supports those things that offer temporary assistance but cause perpetual dependence—the very cause of 70 percent fatherlessness and single parent poverty in the black community. Perhaps there’s just a little too much sheen coming off of her new “Maggie” award to keep her from seeing beyond the shiny empty trophy.

The left has ALWAYS supported racism and eugenics.

That is such a racist ad. What about the white children? This is as disgusting as Revum Al decrying "black on black" crime above any other crime.

Are you being serious or was that sarcasm.

Abortion is targeted toward blacks and those in inner cities (that's where nearly all abortuaries are).

Blacks make up approximately 12% of the population, but account for nearly 40% of abortions.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

“Blacks make up approximately 12% of the population, but account for nearly 40% of abortions”

They outrank their population percentage in other areas too. Planned Infanticide is a business - they build their mills where they have more clients.

As you so rightly point out, 60% of the babies murdered each day are not black. The “it’s about race” angle perverted and disgusting.

We have better arguments than that. We’re winning the culture battle on this because we have the moral argument. Using LEFTIST appeals like racebaiting is not going to improve things, and will almost certainly have a negative effect.

Black people don’t look at these ads and think “bad democrats, bad liberals” as you might like, but they think “white conspiracy”, which is a meme that has existed in black culture for a very long time. Helping push that idea is extremely irresponsible. It’s just as irresponsible as all the evil things leftists do. DON’T BECOME WHAT YOU HATE.

No, they build abortuaries where their targets are.

There are times when we are so resistant to political correctness that we swing to far in the opposite direction, this is one of those times because it really is about race.

We have better arguments than that. We’re winning the culture battle on this because we have the moral argument. Using LEFTIST appeals like racebaiting is not going to improve things, and will almost certainly have a negative effect.

A baby is murdered EVERY 24 SECONDS in America, I you call that "winning" the cultural battle I would hate to see what losing looks like.

Black people don’t look at these ads and think “bad democrats, bad liberals” as you might like, but they think “white conspiracy”, which is a meme that has existed in black culture for a very long time. Helping push that idea is extremely irresponsible.

Margaret Sanger was an avowed racist who stated on multiple occasions that she desire to exterminate the black race.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Yes, Sanger was a racist. But that is not their motivation now, and to push the idea that it is is wrong, and irresponsible, and just like leftist tactics. We are better than that, and I for one refuse to be drawn into using the Devil's own tactics.

You have no idea what you are talking about.

Why is it that Big Murder agreed when people called and asked if they could give money specifically to abort black babies?

The abortion—I can give money specifically for a black baby [Planned Parenthood donation]

Planned Parenthood of Idaho Backtracks on Apology for Racist Abortion Donation

We are better than that, and I for one refuse to be drawn into using the Devil's own tactics.

Exposing evil for what it is IS NOT Satan's tactic.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Some woman employee accepted the money, because it was her job to accept donations. Using single individuals to smear the whole is another tactic that leftists use.

I dislike the abortion industry more than anyone, but driving a stake between the races is EXACTLY Satan’s tactics.

There are other, better ways to make this point.

You claim to be a Christian and a conservative, so why are you acting like a Planned Parenthood apologist?

I dislike the abortion industry more than anyone,

I see no evidence of that.

but driving a stake between the races is EXACTLY Satan’s tactics.

Making blacks aware that their is a holocaust going on IS NOT driving a stake, it is exposing the truth.

There are other, better ways to make this point.

I'm beginning to sense that you SUPPORT Planned Parenthood's ongoing extermination of blacks.

[SunkenCiv]

Thanks wagglebee.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

“You claim to be a Christian and a conservative, so why are you acting like a Planned Parenthood apologist?”

Why don’t you address the issues I raise, rather than an ad hominem attack?

Race-baiting is not our way. It’s evil, it’s divisory, and it’s irresponsible.

[editor-surveyor]

>> “I’m beginning to sense that you SUPPORT Planned Parenthood’s ongoing extermination of blacks.” <<

.
Good catch!

That appears to be exactly what is going on.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

"I dislike the abortion industry more than anyone

I see no evidence of that."

I hate defend myself against ad hominem attacks that deserve to be ignored. But that's whay Proverbs 26:4-5 are next to each other, I guess.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

Good grief you people can be so incredibly nasty when someone disagrees with you.

[nikos1121]

There is only one statistic, just one for this bas*ard in the White House...

The number one cause OF DEATH annually of blacks is abortion....

THINK ABOUT THAT STATEMENT..

[Christian Engineer Mass]

I agree with making that point. And I agree that the left is and always has been the home of racism.

But to say that it’s a conspiracy against blacks is just wrong.

[editor-surveyor]

Just deflection.

Murder of black babies by Planned Barrenhood is the subject, and you’re attacking those that expose it.

[FlyVet]

It is the strangest of strange, that so-called black leadership support Margaret Sanger’s pogrom, and that so many are blind to her goal. 1 Cor 14:33, God is not the author of confusion.
