Two women speak out against Planned Parenthood, explaining why Americans should defund it.
Earlier today, National Right to Life President Carol Tobias released a video, in which she explains that “Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion chain in America.” Although the organization “has carefully crafted a public image as a protector of women’s health, its bottom-line depends on performing more and more abortions.”
“In order to make abortion seem like a small part of what it does,” Tobias claims, “Planned Parenthood lists every service it does, equally.” Despite this wealth of services, every one out of eight women who visit Planned Parenthood get an abortion.
Although the organization claims that “increased funding will enable it to reduce the number of abortions,” its own reports disprove this. From 1998 to 2009, government funding for Planned Parenthood has increased from $165 million to $363 million. During that same period of time, the number of abortions also increased, from 165,509 to 332,278. Indeed, Planned Parenthood performed 27.4 % of all abortions in the United States in 2009.
The racial demographics of abortion, especially in New York City, reveal a very ugly side to this apparently sterile practice. In 2009, the summary of vital statistics for the city of New York revealed that Non-Hispanic blacks accounted for 47 % of abortions in the Big Apple. Hispanics accounted for 32.5 %, with Non-Hispanic whites at 11 %, and Asian and Pacific Islanders at 6 %. In other words, abortion hits the black and Hispanic communities harder than any others.
In response to this, Dr. Alveda King, Martin Luther King Jr’s niece, led a rally in New York back in January, to begin a “New Civil Rights Movement” against abortion. As “abortion started in New York with Margaret Sanger,” it is fitting that Dr. King carries on her uncle’s legacy there.
Speaking “from my heart,” Dr. King declares that “we know that abortion is harmful, that abortion is genocide, and that Planned Parenthood lies.”
Dr. King agrees with Carol Tobias that the organization “has a huge sack of tricks,” and seeks to “rob America and the world of our greatest resource…our children.”
