Rapper Kanye West blasted the nation's largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, saying it was created by "white supremacists to do the devil's work."
The 43-year-old rapper, who announced Saturday that he's running for president of the United States, in what some consider to be a publicity stunt, voiced his disdain for Planned Parenthood in an interview with Forbes magazine.
“Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the devil’s work," West told the magazine.
“I am pro-life because I’m following the word of the Bible," he added.
Planned Parenthood said in response to West that his comments were "offensive and infantilizing."
"The real threat to Black communities' safety, health, and lives stems from lack of access to quality, affordable health care, police violence and the criminalization of reproductive health care by anti-abortion opposition," Nia Martin-Robinson, director of Black Leadership and Engagement at Planned Parenthood's national headquarters, said in a statement to TMZ on Wednesday.
The rapper's public conversion to the Christian faith has occurred alongside gospel worship services he's led around the country.
Pro-life advocates have long pointed out how the abortion giant has locations in neighborhoods where the majority of the surrounding population are racial minorities, blacks in particular, in addition to Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger's racist and eugenicist views.
West told Forbes that he's running for president under the banner of the Birthday Party, no longer supports President Donald Trump, and does not mind if his candidacy takes votes away from former vice president Joe Biden, the 2020 Democratic nominee for president. He also said he had never voted before, fell ill with the coronavirus earlier this year, and was suspicious of a vaccine to treat the disease, terming vaccines "the Mark of the Beast."
Asked by Forbes about prayer in schools, West replied: “Reinstate in God’s state, in God’s country, the fear and love of God in all schools and organizations and you chill the fear and love of everything else. So that was a plan by the devil to have our kids committing suicide at an all-time high by removing God, to have murders in Chicago at an all-time high because the human beings working for the devil removed God and prayer from the schools. That means more drugs, more murders, more suicide.”
The rapper on Thursday tweeted and then deleted a screenshot of a Google search for “what does a 6 month fetus look like.” West wrote, along with the now-deleted image: “These souls deserve to live.”
Writing in LifeSiteNews Thursday, pro-life commentator and social conservative thought leader, Jonathan Van Maren, urged caution in light of the precarious nature of a celebrity-obsessed culture.
"It is unquestionably good for the pro-life cause that a man with such an enormous platform is using it to call out the American abortion industry, as West reaches an audience that pro-lifers have often had difficulty reaching. With that said, pro-lifers would do well to be cautious. West is notoriously erratic, and a lot of his ramblings can end up being pretty weird," he said.
"West in particular has gone on a roller-coaster with regard to many of his different views, and his reliability, despite hopeful indicators, remains to be seen. We should not make celebrities — even those going after the abortion industry — into our heroes."
While Kanye is right about this The left-wingers are already saying that Kanye is in the middle of manic episode. Since when is telling the truth part of mental illness?
“infantilizing” becomes an especially sick and sinister word when used by PP.
It was... long past time that black Americans knew the truth about a lot of things. PP being one of them
Well, he is 100% correct about this and I appreciate him saying that, for telling that truth to many who have never heard it, no matter how many times it gets said here, or at Lifesite New, or other pro-life places.
A complete re-assessment of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger and the rest of them by Black Americans is long over due. Perhaps that will open their eyes to the bill of goods they’ve been sold by white liberals.
He should have included the word “progressive” because Sanger, et al. were progressives. And their aim, like that of today’s progressives (and all of them everywhere and every time) is to “improve” people’s lives by 100% controlling them, up to and including killing them, if the progs deem it “necessary”.
“Birth Control does not mean contraception indiscriminately practised. It means the release and cultivation of the better elements in our society, and the gradual suppression, elimination and eventual extinction, of defective stocks—those human weeds which threaten the blooming of the finest flowers of American civilization.”

It’s another way of saying Uppity N...
Criticisms of Planned Parenthood would carry a lot more weight if they weren’t peddled by delusional morons who see “white supremacists” under every bed.
I don’t think The Christian Post is actually a Christian organization. They’ve come out with all kinds of anti-Christian screeds over the years.
“Infantilizing??? What in the world does THAT mean? “
...... any black who maintains celebrity or notoriety who speaks out against the Godless Left is instantly categorized as “less than,” and therefore subject to dismissal before the public. As a political tactic, it is quite racist.
Infantilizing??? What in the world does THAT mean?
It’s a trigger-word to them, which literally means it’s time to pull out the knives.
As for CP ... Even a blind pig finds an acorn now and then.
What a jerk.
“I don’t think The Christian Post is actually a Christian organization. They’ve come out with all kinds of anti-Christian screeds over the years.”
I’ve noticed that in seeing articles from it posted over the past years.
Anyone can buy an Internet domain name.
Turns out the quote was by somebody from LifeSiteNews. I didn’t realize that at first. West exposed a truth that LifeSiteNews should be grateful for instead of slinging mud at him.
There is a revered and honored statue of Margaret Sanger in the National Portrait Gallery.
The top three statues honoring her are said to be:
The one in the National Portrait Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution; The Old South meeting house in Boston and the “Knowledge is Power” sculpture at Rowan University.
