Rap mogul Kanye West appears to be continuing his outspoken battle against abortion<\/a>. In early July, West labeled Planned Parenthood a “white supremacist<\/a>” organization, and is echoing those words in another statement against the abortion corporation’s<\/a> targeted killing of preborn Black babies.<\/p>\n

Appearing on Nick Cannon’s podcast, “Cannon’s Class<\/a>,” West explained that he started his own political party, the Birthday Party, to run for president. This, he said, is because of his pro-life beliefs. “When I came up with the name of my party, the Birthday Party, it was funny. It was just crazy, it was Yazy,” he said, according to E! News. “I was like, ‘that’s it!’ I can only give God the glory because of the connection point to the Birthday Party is dealing with life and pro-life. Because these are kids that are now gonna get a chance to have birthdays.”<\/p>\n

In the interview, West alluded to previous comments he made about considering abortion himself, until his wife, Kim Kardashian West, helped him see the humanity of his children.\u201cThe abortion culture teaches that the child isn\u2019t a real soul,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was my wife that said: \u2018This is a soul.\u2019 The scariest thing is she had the [abortion] pills… She had the pills in her hand.”<\/p>\n

West also discussed Planned Parenthood, the country’s largest abortion business, and its endemic racism. \u201cThere\u2019s some harsh facts that deal with the Black genocide that is abortion. It\u2019s happening every day, and right now God has given me the information, and he ain\u2019t gave me no other information other than this information, and we have this right now, so that means He wants me to say this now,\u201d he said. \u201cIn 50 years, there\u2019s been 22 million \u2014 over 22,500,000 \u2014 Black people aborted strategically and on purpose. Planned Parenthood was set up and placed in minority communities to kill Black people.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAbortion is the number one killer of Black lives in the United States,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n
