Left: Killing Blacks OK, as Long as They’re Babies

LOS ANGELES, February 28, 2008 (LifeSiteNews.com) - UCLA’s pro-life student magazine, The Advocate, has revealed an undercover investigation in which representatives of Planned Parenthood enthusiastically accepted a financial donation targeting the abortion of an unborn black baby for racist motives.

Lila Rose, editor of The Advocate, says she has taped responses of Planned Parenthood officials from seven states that reveal the eugenic character of their ideology. … Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, was a proponent of “race hygiene” through “negative eugenics,” an attempt to reduce the fertility of “dysgenic” groups, in the early 20th century. In 1921, she said eugenics is “the most adequate and thorough avenue to the solution of racial, political and social problems, and the ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.” She also cautioned, “We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”

The Advocate released a transcript of a taped conversation between an actor posing as a white racist and wanting to make a donation, and a woman identified as Autumn Kersey, vice president of marketing for Planned Parenthood of Idaho.

Actor: I want to specify that abortion to help a minority group, would that be possible?

A: The abortion - I can give money specifically for a black baby, that would be the purpose?

PP: Absolutely. If you wanted to designate that your gift be used to help an African-American woman in need, then we would certainly make sure that the gift was earmarked for that purpose.

A: Great, because I really faced trouble with affirmative action, and I don’t want my kids to be disadvantaged against black kids. I just had a baby; I want to put it in his name.

A: And we don’t, you know we just think, the less black kids out there the better.

PP: All right. Excuse my hesitation, this is the first time I’ve had a donor call and make this kind of request, so I’m excited, and want to make sure I don’t leave anything out.

Lila Rose said the actor asked each PP branch contacted about lowering “the number of black people,” and none expressed concern about the racist reason for the donation. … Lila Rose and The Advocate were subsequently threatened with civil action by Planned Parenthood of Los Angeles.

After The Advocate exposed the incident in the latest issue of The Advocate and uploaded the videos to the popular video sharing website You Tube, Planned Parenthood emailed Rose a letter demanding that she “immediately relinquish to PPLA [Planned Parenthood Los Angeles] the original and any copies of all communications with PPLA employees you have recorded without their consent.” The letter, signed by PPLA CEO Mary Jane Wagle, threatens a suit for “$5,000 or three times actual damages.” … “Imagine a major corporation had been exposed for committing crimes in order to pad its bottom line. There would be a parade of congressmen demanding hearings and reform,” said Rose. “Young girls are at risk and Planned Parenthood is receiving federal tax money. The federal government should investigate this and Planned Parenthood, like any other corporation, should be held accountable.” … Lila Rose is an 18 year-old sophomore at UCLA majoring in political science. The Advocate is a quarterly pro-life student magazine, founded in January.

An important point that no one makes: For 40 years after the Vietnam War we kept hearing the voices of indignation impugning white society for the supposedly “disproportionate” numbers of blacks who died in Vietnam, and for “targeting” blacks for drafting to Vietnam, when in fact the number of black soldiers was a percentage point or two below the black percentage of the general population. The implication was that America considered blacks expendable.

Yet here we have 37 percent of abortions being done on blacks, who account for only 12 percent of the population (see article excerpt below). Similarly, American society is faulted for liquor stores supposedly having a disproportionate presence in black neighborhoods, yet no one complains about the Planned Parenthood centers targeting minority neighborhoods (see same article below). The easy retort would be that the disadvantaged position of blacks in America leaves black women few options other than to abort, and so Planned Parenthood is there to alleviate the pressures and hardships of being black in America. But somehow I don’t think Dr. Alveda King would buy it:

MLK Jr.’s Niece: Obama Wrong. Abortion is Real Black “Quiet Riot” (June 2007):

Obama… said that frustration and resentment is building in the African-American community as many blacks who were displaced by Hurricane Katrina are still roughing it some 20 months after the natural disaster.

He said that the so-called riots take place in black neighborhoods every day because of hopelessness about the future. … But Dr. Alveda King, who has become a leading pro-life advocate, said Obama, who is pro-abortion, is ignoring something causing real problems for the black community.

“Senator Obama may know of the ‘quiet riots’ coming from the black community, but he doesn’t understand their source,” she told LifeNews.com.

“Seventeen million black babies have been killed by abortion and the cries of those children, their mothers, and their families are what Senator Obama is hearing,” King added. “I invite him to listen to those cries more clearly and compassionately.”

“I pray he will realize that hopelessness and despair are only deepened by aborting those who are the future,” she said.

In August of 2004, in a survey sponsored by Pace University and Rock the Vote, 54% of all Americans declared themselves pro-life while just 44% said they supported legal abortion. However African-American voters took a pro-life position by a larger 59% to 42% margin.

About 37 percent of abortions are performed on African-American women, though they make up only 12 percent of the population.

The abortion rate of black women is three times higher than that of white women and 60% of African-American women who become pregnant will have an abortion. More than 14 million abortions have been done on black women and abortion businesses are frequently located in minority communities.

As Americans Honor Martin Luther King, Abortion Destroys Black Community (Jan. 2006):

Millions of Americans today will honor the memory of assassinated civil rights leader Martin Luther King, but, as they do, pro-life leaders within the African American community are concerned about the toll abortion is taking.

“Far and away the worse toll is taken in the most vulnerable community, the African American community, where black women are three times more likely to have an abortion than their white counterparts,” explains Starr Parker, president of the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education. … She says moral principles in opposition to slavery made Americans more free and the same can happen with regard to abortion. “Americans know today that Roe v. Wade has pushed that envelope,” Parker said. “We live daily with wholesale abuse of human life that devalues America and Americans. This loss of value and perspective has weakened us and made us less free.

Some African American pro-life leaders are lamenting the fact that the pro-life movement is frequently dominated by white Americans. They are pointing to the recent March for Life as another example of the dearth of minorities actively involved in the pro-life community.

Pro-life activist Connie Eller of St. Louis organizes dozens of buses of pro-life people to attend the March every year. But of the 450 people who went with her this year, she recalls just a handful of blacks.

“As African-American pro-lifers, we look around and say, ‘Where are the rest of us?’” Eller told the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Martin Luther King Jr’s Niece Opposes Abortion as Black History Month Ends (Feb. 2007):

As Black History Month draws to a close, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr spoke to an audience in Indiana and reminded them how abortion has decimated the African-American community. She shared her pro-life views with students at Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne. … She shared with the students the story of her own two abortions — one she decided to have and another her doctor did on her saying he didn’t think she would want children.

King wound up having six kids and loves her family. She told the audience that her stance about abortion changed after she saw a sonogram of her son, who is now 30 years old. Her husband convinced her not to have an abortion. … King also shared stories of her father, civil rights activist A.D. King, who was killed one year after Martin Luther King Jr. She told the audience about having her home bombed after marching for civil rights, and about her parents almost aborted her until her father saw a vision of her in a dream.

Speaking of dreams, King said…”If the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is to live, our babies must live.”

Dred Scott’s Great-Great Granddaughter Holds Pro-Life View on Abortion (March 2007):

The great-great granddaughter of Dred Scott says she oppose[s] abortion and believes the Supreme Court should overturn Roe v. Wade in the same way it reversed itself in the landmark civil rights case. Just as the 1857 high court case ruled black Americans were not persons, the 1973 decision said unborn children aren’t people with a right to life. … Taney ruled that as a slave, Dred Scott was not a citizen of the United States, and therefore had no right to bring suit in the federal courts on any matter. … Ironically, the same sort of campaign battles play out today as pro-life advocates look to the ballot box and the courtroom to overturn Roe and give legal rights to babies before birth.

They can count Scott’s descendant, Lynne Jackson, as one who agrees that the high court was wrong a second time in the abortion case. … “I know children, when they just hear that little babies are being killed before they’re born, who say, ‘That’s not right. Did you want to kill me?’” Jackson said. “The sensibilities and just the pure innocence of children alone know that this is wrong,” she added, according to a Baptist Press write-up.

Jackson said her pro-life views were solidified when she saw a video of an abortion procedure.

“You see this beautiful form of a darling baby just floating around, doing well, and then you see the introduction of these pincers that go in and the baby starts to flinch and move back and forth, as if to get away from this thing that’s poking and prodding at them,” she explained. “Then it becomes pretty violent,” she added. “So now you’re just looking at stuff floating, where a minute ago you were looking at a baby…

American Idol Winner Jordin Sparks a Pro-Life Advocate, Opposes Abortion (May 25, 2007):

…American Idol has produced a new winner in Jordin Sparks who is a long-time pro-life advocate. Sparks has repeatedly participated in pro-life conferences as a volunteer and singer. … Sparks, the daughter of Phillipi Sparks who played professional football for the New York Giants, sang at Arizona’s Right to Life 2005 conference…She attended the conference with Dr. Alveda King, who was the keynote speaker at the event.

Margaret Sanger, PP’s founder, even wrote her own Eugenics manifesto, “The Pivot of Civilization,” which called for the elimination of “human weeds,” the end of charity and the sterilization of “genetically inferior races.” Her goal was “to create a race of thoroughbreds” by encouraging “more children from the fit, less from the unfit” and by stemming proliferation of the “choking human undergrowth.”

Planned Parenthood put Margaret's ideas into action. Its first birth control clinic opened in 1916 in the poor and crowded Brownsville section of Brooklyn, close to the clientele it was anxious to serve: “immigrant Southern Europeans, Slavs, Latins, and Jews.” As the organization grew, its clinics set up shop in other non-Aryan communities — including those of blacks, Hispanics and Catholics — and its mission expanded. Margaret wanted a clinic wherever “feeble-minded, syphilitic, irresponsible, and defective” people “bred unhindered.”

In 1939, she launched her most ambitious plan yet: the “Negro Project.” She wrote, “The mass of Negroes, particularly in the South, still breed carelessly and disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes, even more than among Whites, is from that portion of the population least intelligent and fit.” In order to remedy this “dysgenic horror story,” “Colored Ministers, preferably with engaging personalities” would travel the South extolling the joys of birth control. As Margaret explained, “The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it occurs to more rebellious members.”

Will the Jews of NY and the blacks ever wake up to the fact that this organization was and still is out to kill them all off.PP is just a bunch of present day Nazis..
