The recent high-profile police shootings of unarmed black men and women have resulted in the largest civil rights demonstrations in history, demanding that law enforcement and civilians alike recognize that Black lives possess inherent dignity and worth. And nowhere is this demand for the full recognition of the value of Black lives more urgent than in the fight over abortion.
Planned Parenthood was established with the goal of reducing the number of Black babies born in America so whites could maintain their dominant status. To this day, Black babies are killed by abortion far out of proportion to their share of the population, while Planned Parenthood turns a blind eye to race-based abortions, as well as sex trafficking, statutory rape, and other crimes. In the midst of Americas national reckoning on issues of race, its finally time for Planned Parenthood to acknowledge the racism at the root of its founding and its ongoing practices.
Thats why Human Coalition Action recently wrote a letter cosigned by a broad coalition of 129 Black leaders calling on Planned Parenthood Federation of America to disavow both the racist abortion targeting of Planned Parenthood and the prejudiced legacy of Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthoods founder.
Margaret Sanger was a racist, white supremacist and eugenicist. She was repulsed by large families, declaring that The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it. She believed that contraception should be used to keep minority and poor babies from being born and to limit the growth of Black families and communities. After its legalization, Planned Parenthood embraced abortion as another, more profitable, form of birth control but tried for years to downplay Sangers problematic vision and its influence on its practices today. Yet she would surely be delighted by how her legacy lives on, as the organization she founded continues to kill millions of the Black infants she hated so much.
Abortion is the leading cause of death for Black Americans. Today, 36% of all abortions kill a Black baby, even though Black women make up only 13% of the female population. And Black women are five times more likely than white women to have an abortion, with 474 Black preborn lives killed for every 1,000 live births. In some cities, more Black babies are aborted than born.
Yet no matter how many Black babies are aborted, it never seems to be enough. Last year, Planned Parenthood opened an enormous abortion center in the historically Black, Cherry neighborhood in Charlotte, North Carolina, despite strong opposition from the local community. Unsurprisingly, nearly 80% of Planned Parenthoods surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of Black or brown communities.
I dont mean to suggest that every Planned Parenthood employee currently shares Sangers visceral hatred of Black people. The racism in todays abortion industry is displayed in the implicit assumption that a Black baby is a burden, not a blessing. We see it in the tacit implication that a woman with less income or less education is somehow unfit to be a mother, and that the best way to empower Black women is to kill their children.
In response to George Floyds murder, Planned Parenthood Federation of America voiced support for Black Lives Matter, claiming that Planned Parenthoods leadership will be dedicating ourselves to calling out injustice and reckoning with our own institutionalized racism long-term. But while two of Planned Parenthoods local affiliates in recent days have denounced the racism implicit in Planned Parenthoods abortion practices and disavowed the legacy of Margaret Sanger, Planned Parenthood has thus far remained completely silent.
Our letter to Planned Parenthood conveyed a simple message: enough is enough. Black Americans are fed up with Planned Parenthoods hypocrisy and with the devaluation of Black life by abortion. We demand change. We demand an acknowledgment of the hateful and evil legacy of abortion in America. There is no excuse for further silence.
Black lives must be defended from every kind of violence and harm. Abortion is no exception.
As organizations and institutions across the country wrestle with the enduring harm caused by racism in America, its about time Planned Parenthood does the same.
But they keep voting D who started the KKK also.
So, black leaders are acceptable to a medical service provided them by a racist, but not the premise of racism the provider espoused, all at taxpayer expense?
Truth is finally getting out to the general public.
There’s your cue, Dr. President. Tweet the names of all the demonicRATS who have gladly accepted the Margaret Sanger Award over the decades.
Omygosh. So these black “leaders” are okay with all the abortuaries in demonicRAT controlled cities but they want to erase the historical ties between Margaret Sanger and the demonicRAT Party. Amazing.
Even if they disavow sanger as a sop to burnlootmurder, pp’s contination of her eugenics program will continue unabated.
nobody makes blacks get abortions and frankly I could not care less. No outrage from me.
No outrage. Just pointing out the neverending hypocricy of the left.
Trying to disown sanger while continuing her practice is like the Nazis condemning hitler while continuing to put Jews into the ovens. I use that analogy on purpose as it is apt.

The Satanism in todays abortion industry is displayed in the implicit assumption that ANY! baby is a burden, not a blessing.
Psalm 127:3-5 New International Version 3 Children are a heritage from the Lord, offspring a reward from him. 4 Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in ones youth. 5 Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court.
There should be a Smithsonian Sanger Abortion Museum to spotlight the truth about the eugenics that the Democrats have supported for decades.

The sanger wing of the Holocaust Museum (carrying my own analogy a bit further) would work. Key exhibit would be a bust of the late rgb.
The Democrats want to hide their past about the KKK and Planned Parenthood. Republicans should smell the blood in the water and attack.
The way black activists are always beating their breasts and gnashing their teeth about injustices, you would think they are the only victims in the world. If their perceived slights were only half right, as a group they would have been ground into dust and destroyed long ago.
Disavow but dont demand the killing stop
The Human Coalition Action and a broad coalition of 129 Black leaders have demonstrated by the signing of their letter that they are lying, murdering hypocrites.
They oppose the racist Sanger but they support the racist, black infant-butchering Planned Parenthood.
Are the Human Coalition Action and the broad coalition of 129 Black leaders aware of how foolish they look to sentient Americans?
Younger black leaders are waking up to the fact that the LEFT has destroyed the black family, attacked their Christian values, murdered their babies and used the resulting rage to divide us to advance the Marxist revolution.
Exactly. They can't support the current large-scale murder of black Americans through Planned Barrenhood while pretending to oppose the racist intentions of its founder.
