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.

Oh my....
Well of course the wild-eyed baby killers are lying...they’re RATs.
Maybe Herman should be slinging arrows at the black women who are killing their babies??? (Like that will happen). I know it sounds racist but he played the card.
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.
Margaret Sanger - Founder of Planned Parenthood
Hey Veronica, you must look awfully silly with that hook, line and sinker hanging out of your mouth!
Can Herman play these fools or what? He set the trap to start this debate and she jumped on it and took the reel as well.
This is going to be a great debate now that people will be paying attention to it with history and facts to bolster his case. All because he shows no fear to tell the truth and then back it up.

Everyone who wanted a neophyte politician to enter the race is getting their wish...I’m going for popcorn...nothing like in unanswerable, opinion pot boiler to provide fodder for both sides. I happen to thin that there are PP kill clinics EVERYWHERE and if there are more in urban centers (where more blacks live) I would not be surprised.
Classic case of “Post hoc ergo propter hoc...

Sounded like Ricky Ricardo there, twice...I happen to THINK...
If race has nothing to do with it, then why do they have a directorship title for “African-American media”?

Herman Cain is spot on about this. Abortion, especially of black babies, was one of the main points of Sanger’s eugenics doctrine, and planned parenthood HAS deliberately located the majority of their clinics in black urban areas. Anyone who wants to can find this info for themselves.
It’s despicable. And it was an absolute attempt at genocide.

Conflation alert: “The Guttmacher Institute said that according to 2008 figures, the most recent data available, 63 percent of abortion clinics — defined as providers of 400 or more abortions annually — are located in predominantly white neighborhoods while 12 percent are located in neighborhoods where one-half or more of the residents are Hispanic. Only 9 percent are located in predominantly black neighborhoods while 15 percent are located in mixed racial and communities.”
So, the inference is that no one ever goes to an abortion clinic outside their immediate neighborhood? A not uncommon progressive, and in the case of PP, eugenic tactic.
Abortion is murder. Planned Parenthood cannot deny their founder’s well-documented true intentions.
