A new kind of liberation theology has taken over the “pro-life” movement, with Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, Alveda King, at the wheel. Tomorrow in Birmingham, Alabama — “on the site where peaceful civil rights activists were attacked with dogs and water hoses,” as Fr. Frank Pavone, director of Priests for Life, writes in an email — activists will come together to “work for freedom for the unborn.” Participants will travel by bus through several cities that have been selected for their historic role in the civil rights movement.
“Pro-life” leaders have been calling for an end to what they call the “black genocide,” saying that a disproportionate number black babies are aborted each year. The rhetorical drive to connect anti-choice efforts with civil rights was a short one.
The New York Times and others have surmised that the predominantly white pro-life movement sees black genocide as a chance to court black members.

I would like to suggest a powerful documentary called Maafa21 Black Genocide in 21st Century America. Maafa21 shows the links from slavery to eugenics , to abortion and now black genocide today. The film’s producers show how the family planning cartel has strategically placed abortion clinics in minority neighborhoods for the purpose of eugenically lowering the black population. The number one abortion provider in the is Planned Parenthood, and that so-called The NY Times article you referred to was written by Michelle Goldberg who receives funding from Planned Parenthood, the very organization which Maafa21 exposes! I found that Maafa21 is heavily sourced and hard to dispute, and most of the experts interviewed in Maafa21 are African American. In contrast, Do you think someone who gets funding from Planned Parenthood would write an unbiased story? I do not and that is why the NY Times story is bogus! Goldberg was a recent featured speaker for Planned Parenthood events and Planned Parenthood has funded Goldberg’s speaking events, where she promotes her books. So Goldberg has an investment in seeing that Planned Parenthood is NEVER discredited. So, before you dismiss the “Freedom Rides”, the abortion stats which prove that more black babies die from abortion than any other cause of death combined, get a copy of Maafa21 and see the proof that abortion is a form of Black Genocide. Even early civil rights leaders like Jesse Jackson , Dick Gregory, and The Black Panthers, spoke out against the idea of “Birth Control Clinics” in the Black neighborhoods. Other leaders plain and simply called it “Genocide”. Maafa21, lays out how Planned Parenthood’s founder was a member of the eugenics communities and Maafa21 shows their racist Quotes, books, articles, video and audio on the screen for all skeptics to see. The producers of Maafa21 went directly to the papers of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, and The American Eugenics Society for their research. Maafa21 shows evidence that Margaret Sanger – founder of Planned Parenthood was a member of the American Eugenics Society spoke to their meetings, met with their VP’s and gave rousing speeches to the KKK and Sanger admitted herself that she had at least a dozen invitations from the Klan. The KLAN? Doesn’t that anger you? Today Planned Parenthood’s highest award is named after Margaret Sanger. Why is that? Do you believe that naming your awards after a Klan speaker is something no one should condemn? Additionally many former Planned Parenthood board members were involved with the racist Eugenics movement, including for Planned Parenthood president, Alan Guttmacher, who was at one time the Vice President of the American Eugenics Society. Guttmacher is also praised by Planned Parenthood- why? Maafa21 shows how both parties are involved in eugenics against the Black Community and includes racist audio of President Nixon explaining why people vote for abortion – any guess? Maafa21 also plays an actual tape of a former Planned Parenthood President admitting that Planned Parenthood knowingly receives donations from people who admit they want to wipe out the black race. How can anyone argue with her words? I urge you to watch this incredible film yourself and then you will want to join these Freedom Rides yourself!
