.- Day Gardner of the National Black Pro-Life Union has said that during Black History Month Americans should acknowledge abortion’s disproportionate impact on blacks and should see abortion advocacy as a form of “ethnic cleansing” that targets the black community. “Abortion providers are still being located for the most part in black neighborhoods and are still delivering the same old message,” Gardner said, claiming their message is that black, poor urban children are “not worthy of life” and that America would “be a better place without black people.”
Writing in a Tuesday commentary, she recounted the history of black oppression at the hands of groups like the Ku Klux Klan (KKK).
“The Klan's aim was to prevent African-Americans from voting, getting an education, competing for jobs and owning property,” she explained.
While the KKK conducted a “lynching war” on blacks in the American South, Gardner charged that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and her allies were devising an “evil plan” to enforce what Sanger called “race hygiene.”
In a 1922 book the birth control activist called for the elimination of “human weeds,” the segregation of “morons, misfits and maladjusted” and for the sterilization of “genetically inferior races.” According to Gardner, Sanger associated with known racists and was the guest speaker at a Ku Klux Klan rally in Silverlake, New Jersey in 1926.
In 1939, Sanger launched the Negro Project. Gardner claimed this effort planned to “get rid of black people” by limiting their population growth with abortion and sterilization. She also charged that Sanger sought to use the clergy and charismatic members of the black community to advance her cause in a form of “ethnic cleansing.”
Gardner cited Sanger’s letter to Dr. Clarence Gamble in which she wrote:
“The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We don't want the 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 ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
The organization Sanger founded, Planned Parenthood, makes money by “killing children – especially black children,” Gardner charged. While the KKK killed about 3,500 people since its beginnings in 1865, Planned Parenthood is responsible for “more than 17 million black deaths since 1973.”
“Every day more than 5,000 babies are slaughtered by the blades of the abortion butchers--decapitated, ripped apart...killed,” Gardner’s statement concluded.
“This is Black History Month. Let's remember why the killing began and then vow in Jesus' name to end it!”

Whenever I engage black Christians in politics I’m surprised to find out how pro-life they are.
Most still would not consider voting for a Republican?
It’s strange
Great message.
It’s interesting how so many blacks, such as Jeremiah Wright, insist the government is responsible for harming blacks by HIV or drugs or whatever malady they choose, but never, ever look at abortion as the biggest killer of blacks.
Guys like Wright, Jackson, Sharpton use abortion as a control mechanism and birth control.
It’s interesting that Jackson once “got it” on abortion, but has since fallen in line.
Considering that the diverse community has a 70 percent out-of-wedlock/illegitimacy rate I don’t think many are going to listen. Back in 1960 it was 30 percent.
Today, Whitey has a 30 percent illegitimacy rate. Just think where that number is going to be in 40 or 50 years.
Just because the leaders of the Black Liberation Coalition and assorted communist groups espouse your right to hate whitey, don't think they have anyone's interest in mind other than their own. Have you seen the retired Rev. Wright's mansion in Illinois? Our Black brothers and sisters have been kept on the Democratic plantation for too long, told they can't get ahead in whitey's world, and culturally nullified into aborting their progeny.
The Ku Klux Klan couldn't have done a better job in neutering the Black franchise in America than the Democratics and their allies in the Black "leadership."
Not strange, simply human. Who can easily change a life-long indoctrination by their family, peers and community? Only the strong. Democrats feed on their weakness.
Pendulum's swing. That number will shrink. The 'millenial' generation has seen the destruction that resulted from the feminist movement. They are far more conservative, especially with regard to marriage and family.
Bump for future teaching..
Everyone, and I mean everyone, should be sickened by the carnage. Just over the river in Washington, DC, only 1 of 4 babies makes it out of the womb alive.
Someone, anyone with a conscious, please mourn for these babies.
Then, I read about the Duke employee who himself did, and recommended to other pedophiles, to adopt African-American babies, because they were easier to get and exploit/abuse. Where was the Rev. Jackson...why isn't he now picketing in front of Duke University. What an afront to decency and sanity. What hypocracy.
When my mother became involved very early on with the emerging Pro Life Movement around 1970, there was a young black preacher running around the country saying that Abortion was nothing more than a planned genocide that was directed against the black community.
That man’s name was Jesse Jackson.
He got religion once he became part of the Democrat establishment.
