Is there something wrong with this picture — nearly 40% of all abortions in America since Roe vs. Wade have been by Black Americans? This equates to more than 20 million Black pregnancies aborted — the equivalent to the populations of either New York or Florida. Yet Black people make up just 14% of the U.S. White people account for 35% of all abortions as the majority population in the country.
Is it because Black people have suffered more cases of incest, rape or mothers needing to abort due to the threat of death? I think not.
So why is this happening?
I supported the so-called pro-choice position while in Congress. These are votes I regret today and pray for God’s forgiveness on so many levels.
I am not declaring Planned Parenthood during the early part of the 20th century a racist organization, and definitely not today. But you can judge for yourself.
Planned Parenthood has appointed about half of its presidents from minority communities. In its early days, it succeeded in enlisting the support of many if not most of the Black leaders during that period. Today every member of the Congressional Black Caucus supports Planned Parenthood.
Digging deeper into the research, one discovers that its founder, Margaret Sanger, wrote about the “Negro Project” or “Problem” in terms akin to believers of eugenics.

There are two sides to every coin. One side talks about Black infant mortality rates and the death rate of Black mothers during childbirth. Their mantra: health care. Yet the other side has mounting abortions of Black pregnancies.
Former President Richard Nixon was the first to authorize federal funds to Planned Parenthood in 1970 as an extension of the Public Health Service Act Title X. His administration provided funding for family planning and services including contraception, which had bipartisan support in Congress. “No American woman should be denied access to family planning assistance because of her economic condition,” Nixon said.
