Planned Parenthood's Negro Project

| Now I want to just show you. | |
| I want you twice. | |
| Did Planned Parenthood target the Afro-American community? | |
| There's a program that is still in effect that is called the Negro Project. | |
| It was fully supported by Margaret Sanker, the founder of Planned Parenthood. | |
| The Negro Project, prior to abortion becoming legal in America in every state in 1973, I think New York already had it legal and it was legal in some other cases. | |
| Prior to that, during the earlier decades, there was a program and it offered free tubal ligations, getting your tubes tied for free, and also free vasectomies for men. | |
| And they encourage you as a Negro. | |
| That means back then, person of color, African American, the different names that we have been called. | |
| And you want to be a credit to your race. | |
| So you come in and you get this procedure, and then you would not have children, and you could go and get your professions. | |
| You could be a doctor, a lawyer. | |
| Now, why can't you do that and have a baby? | |
| Exactly. | |
| I mean, does anybody know doctors that have children, female and male? | |
| Yes, we do. | |
| Lawyers, bankers. | |
| Okay. | |
| So people bought that and they began to feel as though it was a credit to their race. | |
| So they came, Planned Parenthood came up with this beautiful campaign as soon as abortion became legal. | |
| It doesn't hurt as much as getting a tooth pull. | |
| Yes, it does. | |
| Oh, it's safer than having a baby. | |
| No, it's not. | |
| It's connected to breast cancer, cervical cancer, and all of that. | |
| In 1966, Planned Parenthood offered the first Margaret Sanger Award. | |
| She was still living. | |
| And they gave it to Eugenesists, people who supported genocide, the upholding of the superior race, and to Martin Luther King Jr. | |
| Martin Luther King Jr. for his work in helping humanity because they wanted to trick the black community. | |
| Martin Luther King did not attend the award ceremony. | |
| He did not accept the award. | |
| He did not write the speech. | |
| He did not write the thank you letter. | |
| Now, his wife attended. | |
| She read a speech that some lady wrote, and you could tell it sounded nothing like anything Martin Luther King Jr. ever said in his whole lifetime. | |
| And so people said, well, if she accepted, it's the same thing. | |
| But unless a man and a woman are united in holy matrimony, reading the same Bible and agreeing, then one can think one way, one can think the other way. | |
| How many people know one spouse goes to one denomination church, one goes to another, somebody may not go at all. | |
| One can vote in one party, one can vote in another party. | |
| So a husband and wife can have different opinions. | |
| God forbid, it's better if you have the same opinion. | |
| True. | |
| But if you don't, and that was the case, and Aunt Coretta had been tricked like I had. | |
| We thought abortion would be fine. | |
| We thought that the free tubes tying and all that was fine. | |
| That was going to help the race. | |
| It wasn't going to hurt worse than pulling a tooth. | |
| So she went and represented that, but that was not the voice of her husband. | |
| Martin Luther King Jr. said, the Negro cannot win if he's willing to sacrifice the futures of his children for immediate personal comfort and safety. | |
| You can look that up. | |
| He said, injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. | |
| That's right. | |
| And so where's the lawyer for the baby? | |
| A woman has a right to choose what she does with her body. | |
| Absolutely. | |
| The baby is not her body. | |
| Where's the lawyer? | |
| That's it. | |
| For the baby. | |
| That's right. | |
| How can the dream survive if we murder the children? | |
| That's it. | |
