Planned Parenthood is fighting back against a claim by Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain that abortion clinics are put in African American communities as part of a "planned genocide" to kill black babies before they are born.
Cain stood by his statement when questioned about it on Sunday, saying he would direct people to the words of Margaret Sanger, the late founder of Planned Parenthood and a supporter of eugenics.
"Seventy-five percent of those facilities were built in the black community. In Margaret Sanger's own words, she didn't use the word 'genocide,' but she did talk about preventing the increasing number of poor blacks in this country by preventing black babies from being born," Cain told CBS' "Face the Nation."
"It is simply unacceptable for those who oppose legal abortion to use inflammatory and divisive language based on race to push an ideological agenda," Veronica Byrd, director of African American media for the Planned Parenthood Action Fund said in a statement responding to Cain's remarks.
"Hermain Cain is wrong on the facts and clearly out of the mainstream in his attack on Planned Parenthood," Byrd said.
Byrd also pointed to a study by the Guttmacher Institute, an organization dedicated to sexual and reproductive health, that shows fewer than one in 10 abortion clinics are located in predominantly African-American neighborhoods.

“THIS is exactly how you turn the tables on the commie bastards. Make THEM defend their obvious mistakes and bad policies by attacking the heart of the matter. I LOVE CAIN, the best things since Palin to come forward.”
I’m with you. I LOVE IT!!! The Democrat Party is a bunch of groups that exist only because they hate Republicans more than each other. But when the Democrats are called to be supporting abortion which is killing black babies at 5 times the rate of white babies, it gets harder and harder to hold that coalition together.
Just imagine what will be going through a pregnant blank teen’s mind, when she steps into the clinic, sees a bunch of white faces, and wonders whether this whole setup is there to kill her children. That’s why Planned Parenthood is having to respond - and they’ve NEVER had to respond before.
Thanks mandaladon.
Uh, did Byrd reveal where the Guttmacher Institute's money comes from? It is basiclly the wholly owned reasearch division of Planned Parenthood.
MUST SEE - Planned Parenthood accepting donations to abort only black babies.

Dr. Alveda King (niece of MLK):
“The most obvious practitioner of racism in the United States today is Planned Parenthood, an organization founded by the eugenicist Margaret Sanger and recently documented as ready to accept money to eliminate black babies”
bump.
“MUST SEE - Planned Parenthood accepting donations to abort only black babies.”
They plan to decrease their own base? Why? They have spent trillions and forty years building it. No use anymore? Impossible to believe.
“Planned Parenthood cannot deny their founders well-documented true intentions.”
Can the Republican Party deny its founding? Ever read the charters and planks from 1856? Pretty hairy stuff, written by the progressives. Not something too many people want to embrace, either. Why do we go into the weeds on shit like this?
Is this how we became the Easily Duped Party?
WOOOOOOHOOOOOOO Herman Cain!
47% of the abortions in NYC were done on black women as they say facts and numbers are stubborn things to refute.
Since 1973 there has been over 13 million Black children killed and their precious mothers victimized by the U.S. abortion industry.http://www.blackgenocide.org/home.html
She has had two abortions herself [which she deeply regrets]
She works against abortion. They need to interview her about this subject.
She has abortions. She is the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Her paternal grandparents [Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr] were shocked when they learned of her abortions and told her that they were strongly opposed to abortion.
Her maternal gandparents made a similar statement to Dr. Alveda King.
Anyone that suggests that certain language may not be used (outside of possibly gratuitously-pornographic or scatological) is trying to cudgel the rest of us with political correctness. Such intimidation needs to be called out and eviscerated at every turn as we expunge these Marxist vermin (and other Leftists that gave us BO) from government.
Reasoned arguments should be able to stand on their own merits-with whatever language the speaker deems appropriate—without first being sanitized by the Left for their “sacred cows” and friends of corrupt influence.

This is all reasonably explained by the fact that abortion-mill workers don’t want to have to walk to their cars late at night in the ghetto! Such are the budding elite, who are paying their dues in the Leftist hierarchy, ala Ruth Buzzy Ginsburg.
Yet, I live near an affluent neighborhood in a university town that is unbelievably overwhelmed on Halloween by carloads of “ghetto” kids whose parents drop them off to comb the area for the better treats. It’s a scary mayhem for the homeowner families when they run out of candy after spending much more than $100 on such things. They’re simply intimidated into buying more next year unless they’re willing to risk going dark, pretending they’re not at home.
My ten-year old was mercilessly attacked by a band of six outside-the-neighborhood kids that ostensibly (after-the-fact, as I quckly broke it up) wanted to “pretend” to fight my Jedi-dressed son. Such an assault was well beyond what one could call “play”. I pray it’s not a portent of his future, but he’ll better protect himself next time.
