Racism Charges Dog Planned Parenthood

"Dr. Alveda King, niece of the late Reverend Martin Luther King, Jr., has called Planned Parenthood a "racist organization" with a "racist agenda."  She and others in the pro-life black community are calling for Congress to terminate all federal funding to Planned Parenthood.

Some apologists within the black community compare the services provided by Planned Parenthood to "genocide." Even though African-Americans comprise 13% of the

United States

population, they represent one-third of abortions.  While genocide may prove too strong of a term, it does cause concern that African Americans are reproducing below replacement level and that partly due to the high rate of abortions."

For the rest of this article, which also contains an interesting conversation between a UCLA student and a Planned Parenthood employee, can be found here.  For another recent story on the subject, click here.
