Remarks made by Bishop Patrick L. Wooden, Sr. during a\u00a0sermon<\/a> preached at the Upper Room Church of God in Christ are garnering attention for blasting the racist and eugenic history of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger.\u00a0Wooden preached his sermon on January 27th, just days following the anniversary of the infamous Roe v. Wade<\/em> Supreme Court decision which forced abortion on the nation.<\/p>\n

“Everyone’s talking about being woke! Woke? And you didn’t know that Margaret Sanger said this?… How you going to be a woke church and don’t know this?” The Bishop then quoted<\/a> the 1939 words Sanger penned in a\u00a0letter<\/a>\u00a0to eugenicist Clarence Gamble regarding Planned Parenthood’s infamous “Negro Project.”<\/p>\n

“You Bishops and Pastors and leaders out there, if you haven’t told your congregation about the number one killer of African Americans — an organization that kills more African Americans every two weeks than the Klan did in its entire history — you are not qualified to use the word ‘woke’,” he said<\/a>. “For you are the epitome of being asleep!” Watch:<\/p>\n
