She was an outspoken pro-lifer and assailed abortion in NYC as "black genocide". Miss Grier strongly criticized Planned Parenthood’s abortion practices. “What are they bringing to us, people of color?” she asked. “They’re not bringing jobs, they’re not bringing food, they’re not bringing skills. They’re bringing death.”
She also refused an honor from the New York City branch of the NAACP because of the organization’s pro-abortion stance.
