Washington (CNSNews.com) – Likely Republican presidential candidate Herman Cain supports ending all federal funding to Planned Parenthood, an abortion business that he said was founded to target African Americans and is continuing that mission.
“Here’s why I support de-funding Planned Parenthood, because you don’t hear a lot of people talking about this, when Margaret Sanger – check my history – started Planned Parenthood, the objective was to put these centers in primarily black communities so they could help kill black babies before they came into the world,” Cain told CNSNews.com on Tuesday when speaking at the conservative Heritage Foundation.
Cain’s comment was in response to a question from CNSNews.com about whether the Republican-controlled Congress should vote against any federal tax dollars for Planned Parenthood.
“You don’t see that talked that much about,” said Cain. “It’s not Planned Parenthood. No, it’s planned genocide. You can quote me on that.”
Cain, an African American and the former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, is a columnist, author, talk-radio host, and a tea party activist. He has established an exploratory committee for the 2012 presidential race.
Another reporter later followed-up, asking Cain if he supported de-funding the abortion business because of why it was founded or because of its current mission.
Cain said he does not believe there is a great distance between Planned Parenthood’s past and present mission.
“It’s carrying out its original mission,” Cain said. “I’ve talked to young girls who go in there and they don’t talk about how you plan parenthood. They don’t talk about adoption as an option. They don’t say bring your parents in so you we can talk to you before you make this decision.”
“Talk to some young lady who has gone into some of these centers to see what kind of conversation takes place,” said Cain. “They have basically carried out their original mission. There’s not any planning other than to abort the baby.”
“When they have an objective to put 75 percent [Planned Parenthood facilities] in African American communities, says to me they are targeting blacks,” Cain continued. “They are doing the same thing at the other 25 percent, I guess.”
In response to a question, Cain also told CNSNews.com that House Republican leaders should follow the lead of Reps. Michele Bachmann (R-Minn.) and Steve King (R-Iowa) who want to block any continuing resolution on the federal budget that funds the health care overhaul law, popularly known as ObamaCare.
“I think the leadership should follow their lead, absolutely,” Cain said. “When you have over 1,000 businesses asking for exemptions from ObamaCare, shouldn’t that say something is wrong with it?” he said. “It’s called: It’s a disaster. It’s a disaster before it gets out of the starting gate. What part of ‘this isn’t going to work’ do some people not understand? You’ve got 1,000 businesses who have asked for exemptions. The administration granted all of them.”
“They know there is something fundamentally flawed about this legislation,” said Cain. “It is not bringing down cost as it was advertised. It is in fact driving up costs even with the little bit of implementation that they’re doing. It is not increasing access. In fact it’s decreasing access because you’ve got small businesses out there saying, ‘I’m dropping my health insurance.’”
According to its annual report, Planned Parenthood received $363.2 million in government grants and contracts during its 2008-09 fiscal year, up from $349.6 million in FY 2007-08. According to a fact sheet on its Web site, Planned Parenthood performed 324,008 abortions in calendar year 2008.
The CDC recently reported that in New York City in 2007, there were 87,527 abortions performed, and 43,568 (or 49.8 percent) of the aborted babies were black. The Census Bureau says there are 8,302,659 people in New York City, of whom 2,085,514 -- or 25 percent -- are black. Thus, black babies in New York City were aborted at a rate that is twice the black share of the municipal population.
Brilliant!
Defund state and federal sanctioned premeditated murder??? Preposterous!!!!
Excellent. Herman Cain nails it!
Cain is right: Sanger was about black genocide. The federal government has completely destroyed the black family over the last 45 years. It’s a crying shame, an offense to God.
Margaret Sanger may have wanted birth control to stop black children, but even she thought that abortion was barbaric, even for negro children.
It is scary what Planned Parenthood does.
When James O'Keefe called up Planned Parenthood, requesting that his money only go for black babies being aborted (you all know that sting), he was almost in keeping with the founder of Planned Parenthood -- almost!
Yes he does!
I found my new 2012 GOP candidate. I guess Herman didn’t get the memo about downplaying the social issues.
The best part about his candidacy will be how the MSNBCers will trash him one minute, then call Obama’s critics racists.
Ping!
BUMP!!
Yes....we need the truth to get out there. People do not even know who Margaret Sanger was....the educational system hides their nihilistic agenda which is to create mass conformity to group think and destroy the independent, self-reliance of the American culture to create a one world mass of slaves to do whatever the elite tells them.
They separate morality from sex in their Sex Ed classes to promote promiscuity and destruction of all meaningful biological relationships...they want the sex act removed from reproduction....to make our children nothing but copulating animals being distracted so they won’t even understand how their freedom is being taken away.
They teach “feel good, do it” (moral relativism) and that if it takes perseverance and hard work (intellectual pursuit)—it is a waste of time. They bore the intelligent, and indoctrinate them into their one-world group-think non-sense: homosexuality is normal....families can be anything and there is no difference....Marx loathed the natural family because of the biological loyalties and connections which gave people a reason to fight state slavery and a concern of the future and an interest in history. Lenin destroyed the marriage contract...one of the first things he did—to destroy the children....the next thing was to create day care....get the children’s minds aways from the “traditional” thinkers—evil parents.
Few things this damn gub mint does that pisses me off more than taking my families money to kill the unborn.
Then force folks in the medical industry to take part or lose their jobs?
It’s just wrong.
How I admire the man for his straight talk.
The democrat party has always been the fascist eugenics party. The goals and strategies of the democrat party have always been identical to those of the pre-war National Socialists in Germany and they won’t ever change.
The democrat party is now and always has been the party of slavery, sedition, secession, civil war, KKK terrorism, Jim Crow laws, eugenics laws, anti-Semitic immigration restrictions (in response to Nazi Nuremberg laws), creators of anti-Christian mythology, the welfare plantation system, voter fraud, voter intimidation, and the eugenics driven mass murder of minority infants. The democrat party has to be so thoroughly destroyed as a national political party that it is no longer a factor in national politics. Obama and the entire democrat rewards infrastructure need to be fought until, to paraphrase Bull Halsey, “… democrat is only spoken in hell”.
Well said! It’s not only wrong but criminal, IMO.
And I well remember when Hitlery Clinton said that Margaret Sanger was one of her heroes.
The most vile racist couldn't have done more to harm Eric Holder's people than unPlanned Parenthood.
With an assist from The RAT Party, of course.
Sayyyyyy....come to think of it....wasn't The KKK an offshoot of The RAT Party?
Not only sraight. On point, in-depth and persuasive to those not already singing in the choir. Mr. Cain has the communication chops I have been waiting for for a long time. Sorry, Sarah.
Straight to the point, and blunt as can be. I like this guy.
