Back in February, Eric Holder - the country's first black Attorney General - announced that we were a nation of cowards because, "we, as average Americans, simply do not talk enough to each other about race."  Holder is right.

 

That there are still organizations operating in this country that demonize, target, and victimize innocent people simply because of the color of their skin is unconscionable.  That there are still hate groups in our midst whose very foundation is rooted in a malevolent contempt for minorities is disgusting.   That, while we stand quietly, there are those working daily inside this country to commit genocide against blacks is an abomination.  And worse, still others go beyond complicit silence and actually attempt to give legitimacy and offer defense for such institutions perpetrating these atrocities. 

 

These devastating realities only prove Holder's assertion to be accurate.  It is inescapable...as long as Planned Parenthood continues to operate in this country, we are a nation of cowards.

 

In her book, "The Pivot of Civilization," Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger wrote that unless something was done to stop them, those living in the slums (blacks, Hispanics, and Jews) would eventually leave the boundaries of their neighborhoods and mix with the better parts of society (whites).  Their inferior genes, she argued, would then infect the rest of us.  Therefore, she suggested we cease all charitable giving to the inner city poor, segregate these "morons, misfits, and maladjusted," sterilize these "genetically inferior races," and begin a process of eliminating such "human weeds."

 

And her organization, Planned Parenthood, has done just that.  In the 1980s, the organization began intentionally targeting black inner-city neighborhoods for their clinics.  Author George Grant pointed out that, "of the more than 100 school-based clinics that have opened nationwide in the [1980s].all have been at black, minority, or ethnic schools."  By 1991, Planned Parenthood was reporting that 43% of all its abortions were performed on minorities - a time when the minorities accounted for only 19% of the total population.  And in a comparative analysis between the 2000 U.S. Census data and the location of Planned Parenthood clinics, Cybercast News Service concluded, "The results appear to bolster the charge that the organization targets black communities."

 

Consider also a recent sting operation conducted by The Advocate, a student magazine at UCLA.  In the sting, an actor posed as a potential donor to Planned Parenthood wanting to contribute his money to help "lower the number of black people."  In the seven states where the sting took place, each clinic agreed to take the racially earmarked contribution, with none of them expressing concern over the motivation.  In one exchange, the actor said, "the less black kids out there, the better."  The Planned Parenthood Director responded by saying such sentiments were "understandable."

 

Combine those grim realities and you begin to see that Planned Parenthood is doing its part to carry on the eugenic and racist policies of its founder.  But don't take my word for it.  Alan Guttmacher, who led Planned Parenthood for 12 years, stated, "We are merely walking down the path that Ms. Sanger has carved out for us."  And recent Planned Parenthood President Faye Wattleton stated she was "proud" to be "walking in the footsteps" of Sanger.  When you consider that Wattleton is black, it is difficult to know whether to be outraged or just cry at such a statement.

 

As a leftist himself - whose boss got elected to the White House thanks in no small part to contributions from Planned Parenthood and its allies - I recognize that Eric Holder certainly wasn't calling for an open discussion about the abortion mills' racial genocide.  This only proves that while preaching against racial cowardice, Holder is ignoring his own.  You simply can't be taken seriously when discussing America's racism problems if you are willing to ignore the greatest perpetrators of racial injustice in our midst. 

 

Talk to me all you want about Rush Limbaugh and his comments regarding Donovan McNabb.  If you are not simultaneously sickened by the revolting racism of Planned Parenthood...if you are not demanding that immediate action be taken against it and the evil it encourages...if you are not ashamed that such a group continues to operate with a third of its budget financed with your tax dollars...you are a coward with absolutely no credibility to ever be taken seriously on this issue. 

 

And worse, you are a willful accomplice to the racist violence of a group who, as Dr. Alveda King (the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.) points out, "has done what the Klan only dreamed of."

Again, thank you Peter for fighting this fight. How abortion has ever become acceptable in what is the greatest country in the world, I will never fully understand. How the left and right cannot agree on the fact that abortion is wrong is just so confusing to me. Children are a BLESSING and should ALWAYS be seen as such.

I don't know that I would go so far as to say that Planned Parenthood is targeting minorities because of some extreme racism. Minorities do tend to have higher teenage and adult pregnancy rates. "While 27 percent of the teenage population is composed of minorities, they account for 40 percent of adolescent pregnancies and births."

This would explain why "Planned Parenthood was reporting that 43% of all its abortions were performed on minorities - a time when the minorities accounted for only 19% of the total population." Wouldn't the more logical conclusion simply be that they are targeting areas that have a bigger problem with birth control? It seems that you are trying to mislead readers with statistics taken out of context which is a real shame. You're argument was strong enough as it is without using diluted facts.

I can understand the whole problem with Margret Sanger, but I think it is important to note that she was born less than twenty years after the civil war and died an old woman during the civil rights movement. To have these extreme prejudices would have been, unfortunately, fairly common (please don't misunderstand; I am most certainly not condoning her speech), but I'm fairly skeptical that the organization is still promoting and openly advertising those beliefs.

There have been many people throughout history who have been racist (which would include everyone who owned slaves at some point in their life) who are still cherished for their more commendable accomplishments (Again, please understand that I find her work fiendish; I am merely trying to point out that they are not promoting her because she is racist. That would be the epitome of stupidity).

I'm pretty sure that Planned Parenthood puts her on a pedestal because of her other work. Believe me, I find this to be completely deplorable and disgusting too, but using deceptive and clouded facts and statistics to make a point doesn't help anyone.

When we add to the founding philosophy of pro-abortionists the progression of application of evolutionary natural selection, the result is a toxic mix of racism of some type. The inherent base of the natural selectionist, whether clearly stated or not (or even understood or not), is that the purpose of a species is to survive. From that, we derive the "survival of the fittest." Its logical corollary is that the "weak" do not survive. In fact, not only do the "weak" not survive, they present a danger to the survival of the "strong."

Thus, it becomes the natural responsibility of the "strong" to rid itself of the "weak." In the case of the human species and for whatever reason, we have more decision making abilities than the instincts found in the other species. Consequently, we can observe presumed causes of "weakness" and make decisions that pre-emptively eradictae it. Inextricably, the human species has decided, intentionally or not, that cultural/ethnic/racial differences can be demarcations between the "strong" and the "weak."
Posted by ChucksChants on 11/04/2009 07:12:29
The result has been that the human species can also express "strength" through cognitive and technological advancement. Those who advance are "strong" and those who fail to advance are "weak." Those who remain "weak" are therefore to be left in the evolutionary dust. As it has developed, legitimizing abortion plays perfectly into the hands of natural selectionists who maintain that they are responsible to ensure the perpetuation of the "best" of the species.
