Black Pro-Life Leader takes on Planned Parenthood

“The eugenic policies of the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, appear to be alive and well and still directed at black women,” says Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union.

Gardner continues: “The abortion industry purposefully targets the African American community. The question is why? The abortion industry places abortion clinics in our minority and poor neighborhoods to “coax us” into thinking abortion is the best answer — the only answer to an unwanted or unplanned pregnancy — and we ask why?

Abortion is the number one killer of African Americans — killing more black people than all other deaths combined, Gardner states.

The abortion rate among black women is more than three times higher than that of white women.

“It is not whether black women have access to reproductive ‘choices’,” said Gardner. “But rather: Why they are fooled into thinking that they have to make a choice to destroy their child at all. Why have so many black women bought into the lie that their children, born in inner cities, are less deserving of life?”
