Planned Parenthood, a Symbol of Our Racist Past

Following the racially motivated massacre on June 17 at Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, the confederate flag was taken down this past Friday from the capitol building of my native South Carolina. It was regarded by many as a symbol of our racist past.

In the spirit of this mindset, I want to present to you another symbol of our racist past that needs taken down: Planned Parenthood, the number one abortion provider in the country. The organization's founder, Margaret Sanger, was a proponent of the pseudoscience of eugenics derived from the Darwinian model of "survival of the fittest."

I bring this up when, just today, a video was released showing an undercover investigator discussing with Dr. Deborah Nucatola, senior director of Planned Parenthood, the internal harvest and distribution of human organs taken from babies aborted at their clinics. Says Dr. Al Mohler, "The sight of the senior medical director of Planned Parenthood reaching for salad as she explicitly discusses tearing apart babies in the womb is impossible to reduce to words."

PP's origins are equally disturbing. Sanger created the Negro Project to sterilize black women which she described with names like "the unfit" and "the undesirables." In her book Pivot of Civilization, Sanger called immigrants and African-Americans, "human weeds... who never should have been born." In November 1921, Sanger said that the purpose of birth control was "to create a race of thoroughbreds." In her book Women and the New Race, she wrote the following:
"Birth control itself, often denounced as a violation of natural law, is nothing more or less than the facilitation of the process of weeding out the unfit, of preventing the birth of defectives or of those who will become defectives. So, in compliance with nature's working plan, we must permit womanhood its full development before we can expect of it efficient motherhood. If we are to make racial progress, this development of womanhood must precede motherhood in every individual woman. Then and then only can the mother cease to be an incubator and be a mother indeed. Then only can she transmit to her sons and daughters the qualities which make strong individuals and, collectively, a strong race."
Planned Parenthood continues her racist strategy to this day. Four out of every five clinics are established in minority communities. According to the website Black Genocide, blacks make up 12% of the population, and yet account for 35% of the abortions in America. According to Operation Rescue, 69% of pregnancies among blacks are unintended while that number is 54% among Hispanics and 40% among whites.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, a very pro-abortion organization, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion. More than 1,800 black babies are aborted every day in the United States. Abortion is the number one killer of blacks annually, more than heart disease, cancer, accidents, and violent crimes combined.

Erma Clardy Craven, a pioneer and civil rights leader who labored to expose abortion as black genocide, once spoke of a time when 17,000 aborted babies were discovered in a dumpster outside a pathology laboratory in Los Angeles. "Some 12 to 15,000 were observed to be black," she said.

We will proudly thump our chests and pop our collars as flags are lowered while retweeting hashtags like #BlackLivesMatter. But as long as the walls of Planned Parenthood are still standing and fatherlessness continues to be an ignored problem in black communities, we don't truly believe that black lives matter. We are not acting on anything. We're only reacting!

When we cheer for the removal of flags but don't beg and plead for the walls of Planned Parenthood to be torn to the ground, we are displaying a seared conscience: "I hate what this flag represented in an era I didn't even live in, but I'm alright with this murder center protected by the laws of the era I live in now!"

Slavery in America was horrible and heinous. Abortion in America is worse. More than twice as many babies are slaughtered in the U.S. in one year than the total number of slaves that were shipped to North America in the 340 years of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade.

Lest you want to rejoice that we live in a more enlightened era, believing we are free from the tyranny of slavery, you're paying for this racist agenda with your tax dollars. In 2013, Planned Parenthood received $540 million in government grants. They claim that money is not used on abortions. That's a steaming pile of crap, folks. I don't have to see an allocation chart to know that money keeps those centers open to practice their murderous agenda while enjoying the government's protection and endorsement of this holocaust.


The Pro-Choice Lie

"But women must have a choice!" That is a lie you have been sold to turn you into parrot for one of the most successful and darkest slogans in human history: "Pro-choice." You've been indoctrinated by a culture of death and enslaved by the rhetoric, fooled into thinking you're supporting freedom when you're actually suckered into someone else's bidding.

Just ask Norma McCorvey, the "Roe" in the 1973 Supreme Court decision, Roe v. Wade that legalized abortion on demand. In 1970, she was pregnant and wanted an abortion, but the laws in the state of Texas wouldn't allow it. Two law students named Sarah Weddington and Linda Coffee wanted to challenge the Texas statute on abortion, and they got in touch with Norma to use her as their pawn.

After getting smashed over beer and pizza, they started pounding into Norma their rhetoric: "Don't you think a woman should have a right to her own body?" they would say. "Yeah!" Norma would agree. But they never talked about what abortion really was. Norma didn't realize that they were advocating for the murder of the next several generations of children to come, and that her name was going to be on that ticket.

"I was ignorant," Norma said. "I mean, I was dumb. I was the girl from the wrong side of the tracks. I was one of those girls other mothers told their daughters to stay away from. That's who I was. I thought just by one thread -- just by one small, minute thread -- they could help me."

But they didn't. They promised Norma an abortion she never got. They fed her lies and Norma bought them, all the way up to letting her case be presented before the Supreme Court. The whole journey was just one lie after another. "Every time you turn around," she said, "there's someone there shaking your hand with one hand and stabbing you in the back with the other."

When the Roe v. Wade decision was announced on January 22, 1973, Norma's name, though it was "Roe" in the ruling, was enshrined in a law of death, and she knew it. "It might have been a victory for Weddington and Coffee and their cohorts, but it was shame for me," she said. "The definition of abortion hit me in the face. I could see little babies being pulled out of their mamas, but they were alive. That's what I lived with for the better part of fourteen years."

Norma handled the pain she felt with a smoking habit, pot, alcohol, acid, a lesbian relationship, suicide attempts -- anything to take the pain away. But fortunately her story has a happy ending. While working for an abortion clinic called A Choice for Women, right next door was a church, and in that church was an eight year-old girl named Emily who invited Norma to come.

Interestingly enough, little Emily was supposed to have been aborted. Her mother made the decision to keep her despite a hard pregnancy, and God used that little girl to bring his message of salvation to a broken woman. Norma eventually accepted the invitation, and it was in that church that she heard the gospel of Jesus Christ, who laid down his life for us in our place. In him we are forgiven our sins and receive eternal life. Norma repented and became a Christian.

Upon being baptized, she declared that Jane Roe was dead, but Norma Corvey is alive in Christ. I pray that outcome would be the same for everyone who has been duped into believing that they deserve a "choice." What about the child who was conceived and then murdered? Where was their choice? People, how many times must that argument be made? I cannot choose not to participate. My tax dollars are paying for it.


Government Funded Genocide

In 2013, President Barack Obama became the first American president to speak at a Planned Parenthood conference. He praised the efforts of the organization for providing "quality healthcare to women," but made no mention of the service for which they are most well-known: abortion. He did speak of that first center that was opened up in Brooklyn by Margaret Sanger, the woman Dr. Michael Brown has referred to as the Killer Angel. Unfortunately, our first half-black president left out the part about her racist agenda.

In March, 2009, then Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, was given the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood for advocating "women's health and rights throughout her public service career." Hillary said she was "honored" by the award. She is presently considered to be the presidential front-runner for the democratic ticket next year.

Said Marjorie Dannenfelser, President of the Susan B. Anthony List, "If Secretary Clinton were fully aware of the eugenicist past of Margaret Sanger, I cannot believe that she would be accepting an award in her name.  It is in fact shocking that the award still bares Sanger's name." I think it's shocking Planned Parenthood is allowed to exist at all.

Our government is protecting an organization harvesting the organs of children. Their staff has been caught accepting racially motivated donations in several different clinics nationwide. It is an organization that bans parents from making medical decisions for their teenage daughters. It is an organization that has been caught covering up for statutory rape. It is an organization whose founder embraced eugenics and targeted the "unfit" for extinction.

It's time for this symbol of our racist past to come down.

I hope at least one political party -- cough, cough, republicans -- will grow a spine and finally do something about this like they keep promising they will but don't. America, take a stand! Let those who understand the value of life stand in front of every Planned Parenthood center in America, shouting, "Mr. President, tear down these walls!"


(Edited on July 15 to include Dr. Mohler's article, and the longer, un-edited version of the undercover video. Planned Parenthood and their supporters have contested they do not "sell" fetal body parts for profit. To think Planned Parenthood does not benefit in some way from harvesting the organs of children would be naive. They're harvesting human organs. What else needs to be said?)
