racism in abortion?

Abortion is a sensitive subject as it is. Add racism to it and things get pretty messy. Planned Parenthood, a safe haven for those who are pregnant and help for various other sex related issues, are located in tons of different locations throughout the world. In Atlanta, Georgia, however, problems are arising. The founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger is being accused of racism. Billboards featuring the statement "Black Children are an Endangered Species" and instructions to go to toomanyaborted.com are popping up. According to Ryan Bomberger, who is the founder of Radiance Foundation (which sponsors the ads) says, "Women are being lied to...by Planned Parenthood. And that's what toomanyaborted.com is about. It's about exposing these things; using the facts; using Margaret Sanger's own words." Apparently, this website talks about how Sanger founded the "Negro Project" which was supposed to "reduce the number of African American births." This website also connects Sanger to the "eugenics movement, which advocated the sterilization of the unfit and was closed related to racist Nazi ideology." Dr. La Verne Tolbert, who used to be a board member to Planned Parenthood, points out that most Planned Parenthoods (94%) are in urban areas where blacks live. She also has personal experience with this- in her urban neighborhood, where mostly blacks reside, there are three abortion clinics "strategically located all in the same area." Leola Reis, a spokesperson for Planned Parenthood, says, "The language in the billboard is using messages of fear and shame to target women of color." Although African Americans make up 1/3 of Georgia's population, in 2006 blacks were accounted for the majority of abortions. An astonishing 18,901 abortions were performed in 2008 alone. Thankfully, a Georgia representative, Barry Loudermilk, developed the Prenatal NonDiscrimination Act. According to Loudermilk, "This legislation would make it illegal to conduct selective human abortions based on the sex, race or color of a child. It applies the same standards of non-discrimination that is current law regarding employment, education, government and housing, to the practice of human abortion. It also gives the mother the right to seek civil damages against any abortion doctor or clinic who conducts an illegal abortion in the state of Georgia.”

Not only is this article terrifying, but it is truly degrading and disgusting. On the webpage is a video from the Radiance Foundation. This video starts off with a statement given by Sanger-"There is no doubt the procreation of [African Americans] should be stopped." How can someone think this way? As previously stated, it truly is like the Nazi situation. The ideology of having a person white nation- blonde hair, blue eyes. It's horrific. The video also points out that black women abort at three times the rate of white women. Sanger seems to have a birth control plan of her own- killing black babies. While this article did not state it, she is obviously white. And this woman is the founder of Planned Parenthood! Planned Parenthood is supposed to be a safe haven for women to go to when they need help. They shouldn't have to worry about getting an unfair abortion because some psycho woman wants to have an all-white world. How can such a racism person be in charge of something so huge and important to our civilization? The even more shocking, and sad, statistic is that almost 40% of African American pregnancies end in abortion. How did we let our nation get to this point?
This effects each and every one of us. If these kinds of people are playing God and deciding who gets to live (whites) and who dies (blacks) we will eventually end up where we once were- blacks inequal, if we don't kill them all off. How can a human race become endangered? We do not want to get to that point because someday, our mistakes may be in history books.

What do you think? Anyone else equally upset by this article?
