Maafa21<\/a>, a film documenting the history of Black genocide in 21st century America, features a powerful sermon at the end given by Rev. Johnny Hunter, Pastor and National Director of the Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN) – the self-described “largest African-American, evangelical pro-life ministry in the United States.” In the sermon, Rev. Hunter urges people\u2014especially people of color\u2014to work to end abortion. “If we look the other way,” he said, “while our smallest brothers and sisters are being lynched in the womb, we lose the right to be outraged that we were once lynched by the Klan.”<\/p>\n

Calling abortion an evil act of “reproductive racism” rather than the abortion industry’s term of choice\u2014”reproductive rights”\u2014Hunter noted that the majority of abortion businesses are strategically placed in Black neighborhoods. He said that this is a tactic that, if done by the Ku Klux Klan, would be obvious in its intent. But because it’s being done by Planned Parenthood in rooms playing soft “elevator music,” they get away with it.<\/p>\n
