BLACK MINISTERS' PROTEST PUTS ABORTION BACK INTO SPOTLIGHT: Niece of MLK, Jr. leads march demanding donations from Planned Parenthood be refused.(June 27, 2008)
A group of African-American pastors came together recently and marched on the Democratic and Republican Party headquarters. Led by Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King, Jr., they demanded that candidates refuse donations from Planned Parenthood.
The pastors reasoning is that they believe Planned Parenthood allows racist donors to designate that their money goes to fund abortions of blacks. Planned Parenthood has outlined a $10 million campaign to fund candidates who support abortion. According to a report by US News and World Report, the ministers said they have evidence in videos that show African-American babies are being targeting. The group tells Washington Whispers blog that it is circulating two YouTube videos in which a racist donor wins agreement from Planned Parenthood workers to have his donation designated for blacks. Planned Parenthood sent statements to Whispers claiming that they were the target of “phishing” by those trying to trip up local office workers and also that they abhor racism The report goes on to say that the statement does not deny the authenticity of the videos but claims they are edited to portray them badly. Planned Parenthood regards the YouTube videos as “an undercover sting operation by anti-choice extremists who have secretly tape recorded employees appearing to be complicit in racist donations.”
