Does Planned Parenthood target blacks? That is what Dr. Martin Luther King’s niece thinks.
Recently, I spoke on my radio show with Evangelist Dr. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. She is the Director of Civil Rights for the Unborn with the organization Priests for Life. The focus was on Planned Parenthood and the African-American community.
Her comments are relevant year round, especially MLK Day and the anniversary of the Supreme Court decision favoring abortion, Roe v. Wade (January 22, 1973).
She told me, “The leading cause of death in the African-American community is not gang-violence, gun violence, heart attack, stroke, HIV, high blood pressure, diabetes. People will name all these. No, it’s abortion. And the reason we have come to that conclusion, statistically, you’ve got 60 million plus abortions legal in America since 1973. About a third of those occur in the African-American community. That means dead babies. And, with us being 13 percent or less of America’s population that means we are having more abortions.” [See here]
She asked, “Now does it mean that African-Americans are more immoral or don’t care? Absolutely not. We are just regular, everyday people like everyone else. But Planned Parenthood moved into our community with the abortion killing centers and said, ‘We’re here to help you. Let’s kill your baby, so you can have a better life.’ Well, killing our babies doesn’t give us a better life. I have had my own abortions in the 1970s. They were secret then, and after I became born again in 1983 and became a pro-life voice, I began to talk about how those abortions hurt me and my family.”
In 1921, Margaret Sanger founded the Birth Control League, which later changed its name to Planned Parenthood. Dr. Paul Kengor, the author of Takedown, writes about when Sanger spoke to the Ku Klux Klan in Silver Lake, New Jersey in May 1926: “The Planned Parenthood founder’s KKK talk was a smash hit. Not only did it go very late, after a very long wait, but she received numerous invitations to speak to other groups like the Klan. Why would the KKK be so interested in Ms. Sanger? The reasons are obvious, a natural fit. It was because Sanger was a passionate racial eugenicist with grandiose dreams of ‘race improvement.’”
King told our listeners: “Margaret Sanger, the founder of the Birth Control League [later, Planned Parenthood], said, that ‘colored people are like weeds,’ and they need to be eliminated. They need to be exterminated. We don’t want the word to get out, so let’s not package it that way. So that’s why they began to make a lot of propaganda and marketing materials, saying that abortion is a woman’s right. It will help her to finish college, get a job, do this or do that.”
Christian author/educator Dr. George Grant points out that it was not just the African-American community Sanger targeted for population control: “Now for Margaret Sanger and her followers, those undesirable aspects of humanity were largely ethnic minorities: blacks, Jews, oftentimes Slavic peoples from Eastern Europe. These were considered undesirables, ‘imbeciles’ she called them, ‘human weeds’ she called them; and so Planned Parenthood was originally designed to limit the populations of those peoples and to increase the population of what she felt were the desirable races. So right at the heart of the philosophy of Planned Parenthood is this ideological and scientific commitment to a kind of racism.”
Sanger did not want it known that she believed blacks should be targeted for a significant reduction in their population. She wrote, “We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.” (Margaret Sanger, Letter to Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, December 10, 1939.)
King notes that Planned Parenthood said in effect, “We don’t want the word to get out, so let’s get a slick marketing plan.” That plan included such things as handing out awards (such as to her uncle – a few years before Planned Parenthood began to do abortions, beginning in 1970) and scholarships. She said, “So many people rose to success on the backs and bucks of Planned Parenthood – the rabid, feminist movement, for example – a lot of people who have been elected…the Congressional black caucus – many of them were put in office and are still in office because of dollars from eugenicists, such as Planned Parenthood.”
To see for yourself the ongoing racism of Planned Parenthood in action, notice how often their clinics are still in very poor neighborhoods. Alveda notes some of those Planned Parenthood neighborhoods have streets nearby named after her uncle.
King concludes, “That’s a baby in the womb, who should have human rights, and I believe if my uncle were here today, he would have to agree that abortion is a crime against humanity.”
Editor's Note: According to Google, Dr. Alveda King's birthday is on January 22nd. Roe vs. Wade was affirmed by the Supreme Court on January 22nd. It would be a great birthday gift for Dr. King (and others) if more could have "birth days" in her quest for the civil rights of the unborn.
So, this news story is written as if people weren't already aware of this? Is there anyone who doesn't understand that the role of planned parenthood is to keep the welfare system from immediate collapse?' I've always believed that a "no sterilization, no benefits" policy would make a lot more sense, but liberals think that's immoral.
This is a very salient point in the Democrat lexicon.
Black lives DO NOT MATTER....to planned Parenthood!!!!
In my neck of the woods (San Francisco Bay Area), PP seems to target Latinos. The 3 PP locations that I occasionally drive by are in areas with large Mexican/Central American populations. Pretty ironic that the left wants to import adults from that region and whining about the treatment of said population at the border.... while simultaneously killing their babies at PP clinics.
It’s all true!!!
They are targeting babies of all races. They are murderers. Again, with the baby holocaust that is happening right now, today, no one should wonder how the Jewish holocaust or Ukrainian holodomor could happen.
JoMa
Is she just figuring this out? Margaret Sanger,founder of planned Parenthood,said it was targeted to blacks when she started it.
“Does Planned Parenthood target blacks? That is what Dr. Martin Luther King’s niece thinks.”
Well, duh. That’s why Sanger founded the organization. And I’m so glad Dr. King mentions that almost every time I hear her speak.
They then pumped money into those same communities to staunch the flood of hood-rats.
But that would be cynical.
There is no we...... Bill Cosby is in jail

PP has now devolved from mere feticide to actual infanticide, thanks to [Son of a Mario] Cuomo, Governor of the Empire State, and many other wicked PP zealots.
She is my personal favorite member of MLK’s extended family. [MLK was awarded Planned Parenthood Federation of America’s Margaret Sanger Award on May 5, 1966.]

Doctor Alveda King never fell victim to groupthink which has long been a criteria of the Democratic Party. She is a person who thinks for herself, and I respect her for that.
May God continue to bless her...
extended family.

Sanger wanted to get rid of the "brown" races too.
