Dr Martin Luther King’s niece stated in January, on Martin Luther King day, that Planned Parenthood (PP), the US abortion provider, targets African-Americans.
Dr Alveda King, the Director of Civil Rights for the Unborn said: ‘The leading cause of death in the African-American community is not gang violence … it’s abortion. [With] 60 million-plus abortions legal in America since 1973 [and] about a third of those in the African-American community [who make up] 13% or less of America’s population, that means we are having more abortions.’
She said that African-Americans are not more immoral, but that PP moved into black communities with a hidden agenda. PP promised a better life for women, but abortion doesn’t achieve that. ‘I have had my own abortions in the 1970s. They were secret then, but after I became born again in 1983 and became a pro-life voice, I began to talk about how those abortions hurt me and my family.’
