\u201cI do know that blacks kind of represent a large portion of the abortions, and I do know that honestly the whole idea with Planned Parenthood and Sanger in the past was to exterminate blacks,\u201d Watson said. \u201cAnd it\u2019s kind of ironic that it\u2019s working.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt gets a bit dishonest to call something reproductive rights when you clearly have a choice well before a baby is conceived,\u201d Grammer said. \u201cIf someone has to die as a result of rape, then we should kill the rapist \u2014 not the unborn child.\u201d<\/p>\n
