Michael Harriot, commentator for\u00a0The Root,<\/em> recently claimed<\/a> that being a Black pro-life woman and seeking the protection of innocent Black babies in the womb is “rare.” But is it?<\/p>\n

Harriott was writing in response<\/a> to an interaction between Rep. Steve Cohen (D – Tenn.) and Star Parker, a pro-life Black woman, in which Cohen called Parker “ignorant” after she pointed<\/a> out the devastation that abortion has wrought in the Black community.<\/p>\n

“Since Roe v. Wade was legalized 20 million humans have been killed inside the womb of Black women. And then, on Halloween, Planned Parenthood tweets out that Black women are safest if they abort their child rather than bring it to term,” Parker said during a hearing on the Heartbeat Bill.<\/p>\n

Parker also exposed the eugenic beliefs of Planned Parenthood founder<\/a> Margaret Sanger,\u00a0a known eugenicist<\/a> who once gave a speech before the Ku Klux Klan<\/a>. She also compared the Dred Scott<\/em> decision, in which the U.S. Supreme Court declared that Black slaves in America were not citizens, to that of Roe v. Wade, which legalized abortion in the entire country (essentially declaring that preborn humans are not persons and have no standing as such under the law).<\/p>\n
