'Planned Parenthood Aborts African Americans': New Mass Media Campaign
LifeSite ^ | 9/23/2010 | Patrick B. Craine

AUSTIN, Texas, September 23, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) – A new mass media campaign is hoping to shed light on Planned Parenthood’s racist roots and continued targeting of black communities.  The PPAbortsAA campaign (“Planned Parenthood Aborts African Americans”) is aimed at getting the message out to a wide audience through billboards in large cities and TV ads on popular channels.

“When you look at the numbers, it’s absolutely astounding the lie that’s been given to African Americans - that this is really good for them,” said Kimberly Speirs, a spokesperson for PPAbortsAA.org.

African American babies are three times more likely to be aborted than white babies, according to data from the U.S. Center for Disease Control.  Since Roe v. Wade in 1973, the black population in the U.S. has been reduced by over 25 percent.

Planned Parenthood is accused of targeting black communities because 62-78% of their facilities are in minority neighbourhoods, depending on how the data is interpreted.

PPAbortsAA.org notes that this targeting of blacks was part of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s plan from the beginning.  “Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated,” said the famed eugenicist and leader of the Negro Project, which was designed to curtail the black population.

The campaign organizers have been able to get their ads on BET (Black Entertainment Television), and they are available through their website, but other mainstream media outlets in New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Houston have refused to run them.

“It looks like the mainstream media is more interested in protecting Planned Parenthood than they are in educating African American women about the truth of abortion,” said Speirs.

She said it is clear from Planned Parenthood’s own statistics that they favor abortion over other options.  She noted, for example, that in 2007 they aborted 305,310 babies in the U.S., but only made 4,912 adoption referrals.

“Most women who are abortion-minded, they don’t want abortion, they just don’t know what else is out there,” she said.  “Once you let them know all the positive, hopeful, beautiful alternatives available for them ... they almost always choose life.”

“It’s so heartbreaking that so many African American lives have been snuffed out because of the deception that they’ve been sold,” said Speirs.  “We just think that they want to know the truth about this issue.  I think Afircan American women primarily want to know that they and their babies are being targeted.”

Pretty sorry statement if you ask me:

“It looks like the mainstream media is more interested in protecting Planned Parenthood than they are in educating African American women about the truth of abortion,” said Speirs.

Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, wanted more than anything
to keep blacks, hispanics and all the other "unfit refuse" from reproducing.

"More from the fit, less from the unfit."

One of her tactics was to employ black ministers to spread her message for her.

Two examples of Margaret Sanger's pimp daddies.

“mainstream media outlets “ = “human weeds,” = “unfit refuse.” = Democrats

I just don't see why abortion is a good idea for the mental well-being and psychological development of a teenager, any racial or ethnic background. How do these young women not lead their lives in denial after that?

I know it's considered to be a way to stop the chain of poverty; I'm just not sure it works. Does this set these young women up for a life of not developing a strong moral sense and maybe a feeling of if they aborted one child, it couldn't be all that important to give 100% care to those who follow?

These are questions and suspicions, and I'm surprised we haven't heard them from the black community.

It ought to be credible coming from the Right because it is an admission against interest.
More Black babies means more liberal Democrats.

Maybe we should use reverse psychology?: Put up really obnoxious billboards ostensibly FOR abortion (and consequent genocide.)

Something disgusting like:

Another idea:

"Half of all black children are aborted by Planned Parenthood."

"Help double their budget."

"Send donations to PP at (some address)"

It might actually get through to some....

I’m watching Maafa 21 and see what I think about it. Some black pastors are speaking out. My heart aches for our African American fellow Americans. A lot of them are fine people, and maybe I ought to find me a black conservative church and just sit and listen. I already stumbled into one, and they couldn’t have been kinder to me, a couple actually have helped me out when I was in great need. Nice black men (and women). Several actually. May God bless them abundantly.

One of the reasons that flowers are beautiful is because they come in many different colors. If they were all the same color we would probably call them weeds.

Along the same lines as your idea, instead of a solicitation for funds for PP, say something along the lines of:

Vote for _________ (Democrat)

Thanks for pinging this out.

It’s nothing but the truth. And African Americans (can I still call them black people?) need to know this. I hope the message really gets out.

Yes, the message must get out. Even after her death, Margaret Sanger’s evil legacy, Planned Parenthood, continues to kill babies, particularly black babies. But that has, from the very beginning, been all by design.

It is a horror that Sangers hatred still lives.

Sanger and Hitler formed a little mutual admiration society. People don’t know this. The MSM and most educational institutions are nothing but agents if misinformation and outright lies.

Education is the answer. People just do not know what this organization is all about.

A few months back I had a nut on here tell me that Sanger didn't matter as she was dead. And they refused to believe the Hitler connection. They were just a circus.

That woman was evil and hateful. PP does their best to cover up the evil.
