When an organization makes billions of dollars killing babies in the womb, it is clearly a bloodthirsty organization. And when a disproportionate number of those babies are black and Hispanic, it is clearly a racist organization.
All this is self-evident when it comes to Planned Parenthood, but recent events – the firing of Planned Parenthood’s president and a blatantly racist tweet – underscore just how deeply Planned Parenthood is a bloodthirsty and racist organization.
First there was the unexpected firing of president Leana Wen.
Her primarily failing, it appears, was that she did not have the cold-blooded killer instinct necessary to make abortion the priority of Planned Parenthood.
Perhaps it was her training as a medical doctor.
Perhaps it was a trace of the image of God that still pervaded her humanity, as much as she was still an abortion advocate.
Whatever the underlying causes may be, the broad strokes are clear. As noted by Alexandra Desanctis on National Review, “The organization has ousted its president, apparently for being insufficiently committed to pro-abortion advocacy.”
Indeed, “Planned Parenthood has long sought to downplay its commitment to abortion, calling itself a health-care organization and spreading the lie that abortion is only 3 percent of its business, even as its clinics perform between one-third and half of all abortions in the U.S. annually. The group’s leadership evidently believes this political moment demands more aggressive advocacy.
“And Wen wasn’t up to the task.”
More bluntly, cultural commentator Bill Muehlenberg put it like this: “What they are saying is this: ‘You are not blood-thirsty enough! You are not meeting your quotas! More babies MUST DIE!’ That is the mindset of PP. They are after blood – and money. That is their core business. That is why they exist.”
And he suggested that Planned Parenthood should run an ad that sounded something like this: “Wanted, an experienced baby killer who has no qualms about taking human life, nor about selling body parts of babies to others for profit. It is preferred that you resonate with past such ministries, such as the Nazi extermination camps. Having no heart and no conscience is also essential. Those who think that the vulnerable and defenceless should be our priority need not apply.”
Do you think he was exaggerating? I do not.
When it comes to Planned Parenthood’s racism, there is a spirited debate concerning the connection between Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood’s founder, and eugenics. Sanger’s conservative critics are sure that she wanted to reduce the number of black Americans (among other races and ethnicities), if not exterminate them entirely. Her defenders deny this passionately, also claiming that her interest in eugenics was not racial.
Yet even the left-leaning Time Magazine admitted in 2016 that Sanger did “make some deeply disturbing statements in support of eugenics, the now-discredited movement to improve the overall health and fitness of humankind through selective breeding. She did, and very publicly. In a 1921 article, she wrote that, ‘the most urgent problem today is how to limit and discourage the over-fertility of the mentally and physically defective.’” (Time also cited her defenders who claimed that she “uniformly repudiated the racist exploitation of eugenics principles.”)
And the very left-leaning Snopes.com, in an article devoted to debunking a quote attributed to Sanger, uncovered this hardly flattering quote from a 1923 New York Times article. She wrote: “Birth Control is not contraception indiscriminately and thoughtlessly practiced. It means the release and cultivation of the better racial elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extirpation of defective stocks — those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.” (Snopes’ emphasis.)
To my liberal, pro-abortion friends: Are you sure you want to defend Sanger against charges of racism?
But let’s not worry about 1923. Let’s look at the present, as in July 19, 2019, when Planned Parenthood tweeted, “’Black women are sexy and sexual entities, independent of anyone else’s ideas of what that means.’ For #SummerOfSex, our partnership with @WearYourVoice, @GloriaAlamrew talks about creating space for Black girls to understand their sexuality.”
In one short tweet, Planned Parenthood’s motives are revealed for the world to see.
Bound4Life, a pro-life organization, noted that, “Black non-Hispanic women have the highest abortion ratio. Black women’s abortion ratio has reached 444 abortions per 1,000 live births, while non-Hispanic white women’s abortion ratio is 124 abortions per 1,000 live births.”
Apparently, however, this is not enough. More black women need to have sex. More black women need to have unwanted pregnancies. More black women need to have abortions.
This, to me, is all part of the “Jezebelic” attack on our nation. It is an attack we must resist with prayer, with truth, and with compassion. May Planned Parenthood be exposed.
Baby killing is a very lucrative business and a very powerful political tool by the left.
Just saw a news clip of a PP lawyer who had the audacity to use the phrase “CARING abortion care” when discussing events in Arkansas.
Oxymoron alert.
Ask the fetus to weigh in.
Like the German civilians who were forced to walk through the camps at gunpoint, the day will come when we as a nation will be forced to acknowledge the demonic reality of abortion — and when it happens there will be no mercy.

She was not meeting her quota of dead babies...
Over on townhall I had a “Christian” tell me that I am slandering Planned Parenthood and that Leviticus 27 establishes that anyone under 1 month old is not a person.
If planned parenthood wants to be seen as less racist, they need more outreach to pregnant white girls. Maybe more branches in heavily white neighborhoods. Maybe tv ads aimed at white girls who have unprotected sex. Maybe special deals for underserved Caucasian areas.
Otherwise they need to explain why they only focus on black customers. How many of the black population have they “neutralized?” Are they to blame for African American being a minority?
Just went to Biblegateway.com and looked up Leviticus 27. I could not make a connection between it and what that “Christian” was arguing. It was a strange chapter. I though of Abraham almost sacrificing Isaac to God.
In it it discusses the shekel value of people at various ages. Verse 6 mentions age one month and above. Thus he concluded anyone under 1 month old has no value to God
