Book written by Lothrop Stoddard, Harvard scholar, eugenicist, and former colleague of Margaret Sanger, on the board with her at the beginnings of Planned Parenthood.

Adjusted for population, the abortion rate among black women is roughly triple the national average. Citing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics, Cybercast News Service reported that African-Americans account for 36.5% of the nation’s abortions while making up 12.6% of nation’s population. Views among African-American leaders on abortion are split. President Barack Obama is a long-time advocate of abortion,who in the 2008 said he did not want to see his daughters “punished with a baby” if they became pregnant at 16. Republican Herman Cain is against abortion under any circumstances. He has attacked Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest chain...

On Nov. 8, Mississippi residents will vote on a proposed constitutional amendment that would categorize a fertilized human egg as a legal person. If passed, this measure would prohibit not only abortion, but common birth control methods such as the IUD. While a similar measure was twice defeated in Colorado, in 2008 and 2010, by wide margins, other states - including Florida and Ohio - are considering comparable initiatives. These attacks are dangerous, but they are nothing new, part of a century-long war on women. While we all know it generally takes two to tango when it comes to sex,...

NEW YORK, NY, September 12, 2011 (LifeSiteNews.com) – New data on New York City’s abortion statistics reveals an abortion ratio almost twice the national average. The report, provided by the New York City Department of Health at the request of the Chiaroscuro Foundation, a New York City non-for-profit organization that supports alternatives to abortion, said that of 225,667 pregnancies in 2009, there were 87,273 abortions. The detailed data about abortion in New York has been published at NY41percent.com in the form of an interactive graphic. Abortion rate statistics show that the zip code with the highest abortion ratio in the...

According to the Radiance Foundation, abortion and slavery have a lot more in common than you might have thought. And to make sure you see the link between the two, the Alpharetta-based foundation has started a campaign to prop up nearly 50 billboards across metro Atlanta. The billboards feature such slogans as "The 13th Amendment Freed us. Abortion Enslaved Us" and "Abortion makes three-fifths human seem overly generous." The billboards popped up across metro Atlanta on Juneteenth, which commemorates the end of slavery in the United States. The billboards are part of a campaign targeted at persuading black women from...

Billboard Focused On African-American Abortions Being Taken Down By Jordana Ossad, CNN February 24, 2011 The billboard is roughly half a mile from a Planned Parenthood facility in Manhattan's Soho neighborhood. Billboard on African-American abortion rates put up over Soho restaurant It read: "The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb" Lamar Advertising said it's being taken down for public safety reasons New York (CNN) -- A New York billboard that focused exclusively on African-American abortion rates is being taken down because of concerns for public safety, said Hal Kilshaw, spokesperson for Louisiana-based Lamar Advertising, on Thursday....

An inflammatory anti-abortion ad equating abortion by black women with genocide will be taken down from a Manhattan billboard, officials said today. The controversial advertisement — posted on a billboard at Sixth Avenue and Watts Street and sponsored by pro-life groups Life Always and thatsabortion.com — features a pensive little girl beneath the startling message: "The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb." The Rev. Al Sharpton and Planned Parenthood groups, which had blasted the ad as a racist attack against a woman’s right to choose, applauded the decision to yank the message.

The growing level of violent crime in the black American community is abhorrent. A recent study by the New York Times reported that sixty-one percent of all homicides in New York City are perpetrated by black Americans. A firearm is used seventy percent of the time. Despite generally declining crime rates, gun violence in urban areas is skyrocketing. In an open letter to President Obama, New York State Senators Bill Perkins and Eric Adams put these numbers in perspective: No statistic is more telling than the fact that during this period the number of homicides in our one city, thirty-four...

The mention of abortion can bring a bitter battle. Now one side is taking that battle to new heights. Eighty billboards are already up around Atlanta Georgia, proclaiming black children are an endangered species, because black women get abortions at a rate higher than those of other races. "African Americans in America are being targeted by Planned Parenthood and other organizations for abortion to lower the population," says Dr. Alveda King. She is the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Junior, the pioneer in the civil rights movement. Alveda King is leading a movement of her own. She says abortion...

Catherine Davis is a woman with a message, and that message is getting harder to ignore. "Black children are an endangered species."The Director of Minority Outreach for Georgia Right to Life, Davis is taking that message to the public, along with a massive public awareness campaign that has captured national and international attention. Drivers in the metro Atlanta area are seeing billboards that demand attention - and are changing minds.Her argument is simple and the statistics are irrefutable. She accuses abortion providers in general, and Planned Parenthood in particular, of targeting blacks for abortion. She told The New York...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is coming to the defense of a pro-life congressman who said last week that abortion has hurt the black community worse than slavery. She follows another pro-life African-American leader who says Rep. Trent Franks got it right. Franks, who has sponsored legislation responding to the high rate of abortions in the African-American community, released a video last week."Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by policies of slavery. And I think, What does it take...

The New York Times’s Shaila Dewan, in her February 26 article “To Court Blacks, Foes of Abortion Make Racial Case,” put her foot in her mouth, metaphorically speaking, and illustrated years of MSM misinformation concerning blacks and abortion. Her article starts out as a factual report on how “the largely white staff of Georgia Right to Life” – who cares what color they are, and what’s “largely” mean? – has enhanced its efforts to address the “high number of black women who undergo abortions.” Then, at the 150-words mark, comes the first of her foot insertions.

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A prominent black pro-life leader is coming to the defense of Congressman Trent Franks of Arizona, who has been slammed over the last few days in the mainstream media and on Internet blogs for his comments saying that abortion has been worse for the African-American community than slavery. As LifeNews.com reported, Franks released a new video in which he makes the remarks and points out how abortion disproportionately targets the black community."And yet today, half of all black children are aborted. Half of all black children are aborted," Franks says. "Far more of the African American...

Across the country, the anti-abortion movement, long viewed as almost exclusively white and Republican, is turning its attention to African-Americans and encouraging black abortion opponents across the country to become more active. A new documentary, written and directed by Mark Crutcher, a white abortion opponent in Denton, Tex., meticulously traces what it says are connections among slavery, Nazi-style eugenics, birth control and abortion, and is being regularly screened by black organizations. Black abortion opponents, who sometimes refer to abortions as “womb lynchings,” have mounted a sustained attack on the Planned Parenthood Federation of America, spurred by a sting operation by...

ATLANTA — The message on dozens of billboards across the city is provocative: Black children are an "endangered species." The eyebrow-raising ads featuring a young black child are an effort by the anti-abortion movement to use race to rally support within the black community. The reaction from black leaders has been mixed, but the "Too Many Aborted" campaign, which so far is unique to only Georgia, is drawing support from other anti-abortion groups across the country. "It's ingenious," said the Rev. Johnny Hunter, national director of the Life Education and Resource Network, a North Carolina-based anti-abortion group aimed at African-Americans...

Black Children Are An Endangered Species  (Read WP posts from John Hawkins) | (Read MT posts from John Hawkins) In 1939 (Margaret) Sanger created the previously mentioned "Negro Project," which aimed to get blacks to adopt birth control. Through the Birth Control Federation, she hired black ministers (including the Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Sr.), doctors, and other leaders to help pare down the supposedly surplus black population. The project's racist intent is beyond doubt. "The mass of significant Negroes," read the project's report, "still breed carelessly and disastrously, with the result that the increase among Negroes....in that portion of the...

Planned Parenthood is all set to open its abortion "super center" this spring, targeting minority Hispanics and Blacks in a southeast Houston neighborhood. The newest and biggest facility among all its clinics in the whole country, Planned Parenthood's abortion "super center" will stand six stories high and cover a whopping 78000 square feet and come complete with a "surgical wing" for abortions. The building is a former bank on the Gulf Freeway that will be Planned Parenthood's new, regional headquarters, and a third of its colossal, 78000 square feet will be exclusively devoted to "health services," potentially a code word...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- As Americans honor civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., a congressman says the nation is not aware of how Planned Parenthood targets black Americans with abortions. Arizona Rep. Trent Franks says the abortion industry has preyed on African-American communities for too long. Franks told LifeNews.com today that he is "calling on Americans to work toward ending the abortion industry's disproportionate targeting of minorities.""Today, we remember Martin Luther King, Jr. for dedicating his life to the fulfillment of a truth outlined in the Declaration of Independence: that all men are created equal, regardless of their skin...

This opinion column was originally published by The National Center for Public Policy Research and is reprinted with permission. There is a real economic toll related to abortion, but it's not something Jesse Jackson, Al Sharpton or the Congressional Black Caucus complains about. In fact, they all support abortion. To hear abortion proponents talk about it, infanticide is an economic boon. In 1998, a U.S. News and World Report article called a child "a high-priced consumer item with no warranty." Less children supposedly means less welfare...

(CNSNews.com) – Abortion kills more black Americans than the seven leading causes of death combined, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 2005, the latest year for which the abortion numbers are available. Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC.  During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined.  These were the seven leading causes of death for black Americans...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- President Barack Obama supports abortion and has done everything possible to expand the number of abortions during his brief tenure as president. While Obama may not have racist motivations for backing abortion, black pro-life advocates are saying that is the outcome. Two African-American pro-life leaders are saying that, because abortions disproportionately target the black community, expanding abortions brings a racial result.Day Gardner, the president of the National Black Pro-Life Union, tells LifeNews.com that Obama's abortion promotion is evident."In less than nine months he has overturned the Mexico City policy -- which means American tax dollars...

I realize that many of you truly want to believe Obama is the great savior. At a party, astonishingly, someone said we should be patient with Obama because he is working down a list of everything wrong with America and fixing it. A friend even went as far as to say, “God will judge Foxnews for their negative reporting of Obama”. Unfortunately, I'm sure my friend is not alone in his belief that Obama is divine and anyone criticizing or opposing him is evil. And of course, almost every black I know, thinks I'm the world's greatest “Uncle Tom” for...

Blackgenocide.org The purpose of this web site is to expose the disproportionate amount of Black babies destroyed by the abortion industry. For every two African American women that get pregnant one will choose to abort. A Black baby is 5 times more likely to be killed in the womb than a White baby.

Friday January 23, 2009 At March, Black Pastor Warns Obama not to Preside over “Genocide” of American Blacks WASHINGTON, DC, January 23, 2009 (LifeSiteNews.com) – The most well received speech at the March for Life this year was that of an African American pastor from Frederick Maryland.  Pastor Luke Robinson began noting that the election of the first African American President of the United States was a fulfillment of “part” of the “Dream” of Dr. Marin Luther King Jr. Speaking of the inauguration of the “first black President” of the United States, Pastor Robinson explained: “So many African Americans...

On Monday, January 19th, America commemorated the birthday of Martin Luther King Jr. His dream of an equal America is in many ways personified in Barack Obama, whose inauguration as our first African-American president took place the following day. Obama's triumph is a monumental achievement for black Americans. It is also a watershed for America as a whole, a final repudiation of an era when black men and women were not afforded the inalienable rights endowed to all persons by God as expressed in the Declaration of Independence. But while Obama's ascendance to the White House has been almost uniformly...

This is a fantastic Right to Life commercial being run by CatholicVote.com on BET today. VERY EFFECTIVE! http://www.catholicvote.com/

The new ad will air repeatedly on Tuesday on the cable television channel Black Entertainment Television (BET) in Chicago during coverage of the presidential inauguration.

The Elliot Institute has released a report that exposes America's forced abortion epidemic. Elliot Institute spokesperson Amy Solby tells OneNewsNow that one study found 64 percent of women who had abortions reported they felt pressured to abort by others. "Something like 80 percent of them said that they didn't get the counseling they needed to make a good decision, that often they were not given counseling at all, or that the counseling they had was inadequate," she explains.

Hit with declines in funding from the economic crisis and the Madoff scandal, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America is laying off around 20% of its staff. Roughly 30 people were let go earlier this week, according to a source who works for the nonprofit. Executives at Planned Parenthood confirmed the layoffs, but declined to give more details. “As with many other nonprofit organizations, Planned Parenthood has had to make staff reductions at our headquarters due to the challenging economic times facing our country,” said Maryana Iskander, chief operating officer at the agency. “While taking this action is never easy,...

Alabama State University (ASU), a historically black college, is planted near the west side of the capital city of Montgomery, a birthplace of the civil-rights movement. The campus sits at the edge of a major housing project. Or as Tijuanna Adetunji puts it: "It's in the 'hood." That made it the perfect place for Adetunji, 38, who grew up in the Montgomery projects herself, to share her message on African-Americans and the true nature of abortion. Earlier this year, an ASU professor invited Adetunji to address her students on the topic. "The professor knew some of her students had faced,...

Transition advisers to President-elect Barack Obama have compiled a list of about 200 Bush administration actions and executive orders that could be swiftly undone to reverse White House policies on climate change, stem cell research, reproductive rights and other issues, according to congressional Democrats, campaign aides and experts working with the transition team. A team of four dozen advisers, working for months in virtual solitude, set out to identify regulatory and policy changes Obama could implement soon after his inauguration. The team is now consulting with liberal advocacy groups, Capitol Hill staffers and potential agency chiefs to prioritize those they...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- A leading African-American pastor says he can't support Barack Obama because the presidential candidate is out of the mainstream when it comes to abortion. Pastor Clenard Childress, says Obama is favors unlimited abortions and wants to overturn state laws to reduce abortions.Childress, the senior pastor of New Calvary Baptist Deliverance Church in Montclair, New Jersey, says he no longer buys the "lip service" he gets from Democratic presidential candidates."The Democrat Party has for years given lip service to the African-American community. They have talked about prominence without fulfilling the promise," he says. "They patronize without...

Two African American bishops and abortion October 23, 12:28 PM by Eric Wilson, D.C. Catholic Examiner      Bishop Martin HolleyAn interesting juxtaposition emerged this week from the statements of two African American bishops on the abortion issue.  First, Bishop Martin Holley, Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Washington, released a statement last week responding to a Guttmacher Institute (named for Alan Guttmacher, former president of Planned Parenthood and former vice-president of the American Eugenics Society) survey which found black women in the U.S. abort pregnancies at a rate five times that of white women. Bishop Holley, who is chair...

Colin Powell, the former US Secretary of State for President George W. Bush, has endorsed Barack Obama, thereby guaranteeing the deaths of millions of black Americans if Obama were elected. Dr. Johnny Hunter, Alveda King and many other black leaders have stated that abortion is black genocide. Unfortunately, many black leaders, such as Colin Powell, haven't heard that Planned Parenthood has targeted the black population for their business, which will probably guarantee their extermination. A vote for Obama is a vote for death. For Pro-Life people, this is one of the most important elections in history. Barack Obama has promised...

Just received in my e-mailbox. Maybe they can make a trip to McCain HQ next: DENVER, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Colorado Right to Life and American Right to Life will stand with black leaders from around the country at their Power in the Park rally and press conference on August 25, 2008, 8:30 am at Martin Luther King Park, one block from the largest Planned Parenthood abortuary in the nation. The killing center, dubbed Auschwitz, by local opponents of the racist organization, is situated in north Denver’s minority neighborhood - consistent with the patterns of targeting minorities noted by Blackgenocide.org....

The following account demonstrates loudly the hypocrisy of the pro-abortion camp and the violence that its minions resort to when confronted with the truth. The abortion mill in question is the last one standing in the city of Birmingham and has been operating for over 20 years. It is currently under investigation and several botched-abortion deaths have occured there over the years. The vast majority of its clients are African-American. The owner of the mill often shows up driving a Hummer or a Mercedes Benz wearing expensive clothes, and a fur coat in the winter. Think Cruella DeVille of 101...

For talent and treasure, the Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) has no equal in the baby-killing business. And business is booming. PPFA’s budget, as stated in its 2006-2007 annual report, crested the $1 billion mark. Approximately 1/3 of this obscene budget (particularly for a group classified as non-profit) was provided by taxpayers like you and me. For the number crunchers out there, that’s over $336 million in federal, state and local government grants and contracts. What does one do with $336 million? Well, as a project expands to fill the time allotted, so plans expand to fill the funds...

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- To draw attention to the way abortion disproportionately affects the African-American community, black pro-life advocates will be protesting outside the upcoming annual meeting of the nation's largest organization representing blacks. The NAACP protest will also reach the Democratic presidential candidate. Rev. Clenard Childress, a New Jersey pastor, told LifeNews.com about the protest and said pro-abortion presidential candidate Barack Obama and former candidate Hillary Clinton will be at the convention.  "Because 2008 is an election year, the presidential candidates will undoubtedly speak at the convention. This gives us a national stage to make our case to the...

Shepherds Leading the Sheep to the Slaughter Here are the birth statistics for African-American babies in the City of Philadelphia just a couple a years ago: 10,880 born, 9,259 aborted. Nearly half or 46% of all babies in the City of Brotherly love were dismembered and brutally killed by means of abortion. Moreover, there are twenty-five other major urban cities in America that report having a higher abortion rate than live birth rate. Such carnage is incredible! One would think the Gate Keepers of Righteousness, Deed, and Thought would be appalled. The magnitude of this devastation of the progeny of...

The Ohio branch of the leading player in the nation's abortion industry, Planned Parenthood, is blaming the callers for a fiasco in which a local official was caught on tape agreeing to take a donation designated to eliminate blacks.WND has reported previously on the work of Lila Rose, editor of the Los Angeles-based Advocate, who has conducted several undercover investigations of Planned Parenthood.In one taped interview, an Idaho official for Planned Parenthood said it was "understandable" that a donor would want to contribute to abortions targeting blacks so that his own, presumably white, child would have less competition in...

Pastors Accuse Planned Parenthood for 'Genocide' on Blacks Thursday , April 24, 2008 By Kelley Beaucar Vlahos WASHINGTON — The Planned Parenthood Federation of America has perpetuated a “genocide on the black community,” says a group of African-American pastors who claimed Thursday the birth control and abortion provider has had a racist agenda since its beginnings in 1921. Holding a brief vigil and press conference in front of a Planned Parenthood clinic in Washington, D.C., the group of pastors and activists said they were incensed by the results of recent “undercover” inquiries into several Planned Parenthood clinics across the country....

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...

Planned Parenthood of Idaho officials apologized Wednesday for what they called an employee's "serious mistake" in encouraging a donation aimed at aborting black babies. They also criticized The Advocate, a right-to-life student magazine at the University of California-Los Angeles, for trying to discredit Planned Parenthood employees in seven states in a series of tape-recorded phone calls last summer. The call to Idaho came in July to Autumn Kersey, vice president of development and marketing for Planned Parenthood of Idaho. On the recording provided by The Advocate, an actor portraying a donor said he wanted his money used to eliminate black...
