Letter to the editor: What lives matter to Planned Parenthood?
It seems that after the death of George Floyd, everyone is trying to show they aren’t racist by embracing Black Lives Matter. Isn’t it ironic that Planned Parenthood has jumped on the bandwagon?
Many believe that when Margaret Sanger founded this anti-life organization 100 years ago, she did so to ostensibly eradicate Blacks. She once spoke to the KKK. Through what Sanger called the “Negro Project,” she and her allies worked to open birth control clinics in Black communities. Since Roe v. Wade in 1973, over 20 million unborn Black babies have perished.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported that between 2007 and 2010, 36% of all abortions in the United States were on Black children, even though Blacks only make up 13% of the population.
Isn’t is amazing that Gov. Tom Wolf and Pennsylvania Health Secretary Dr. Rachel Levine deemed that Planned Parenthood clinics were “essential” businesses during the covid-19 pandemic even though they continued snuffing lives out?
Quoting Alveda King, Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, “The great irony is that abortion has done what the Klan only dreamed of. Roughly one-quarter of the Black population is missing.”
I believe that all lives matter including the unborn.
