Rap mogul Kanye West recently discussed his pro-life views in an interview<\/a> with comedian and podcaster Joe Rogan on The Joe Rogan Experience. West has recently become more outspoken and direct in his remarks against the racist history of abortion and Planned Parenthood, and previously spoke with great emotion<\/a> about how he once considered abortion for one of his own children \u2014 and how he, too, was spared from abortion.<\/p>\n

According to RedState<\/a>, in his interview with Rogan, West mentioned the emergency contraception drug Plan B, which he condemned along with\u00a0abortion in a 2019 interview<\/a>. “Plan B and Planned Parenthood were planned by eugenicists that set out and said out loud, \u2018I\u2019m doing this to kill the black race and to create population control,'” West told Rogan.<\/p>\n

The artist compared the number of COVID-19 deaths to the amount of black aborted babies. He quoted figures<\/a> from the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), which revealed that on average, 1,000 unborn black children are aborted every day.<\/em><\/p>\n

\u201cLet me talk about Planned Parenthood, okay? The last figure I saw is there were 210,000 deaths due to COVID in America, and everywhere you go, you see someone with a mask on. \u2026 With abortion culture, there are 1,000 black children aborted a day, daily. We are in genocide,\u201d he argued.<\/em><\/p>\n

“So more black children have died since February than people have died of COVID, and everyone wears a mask, so it\u2019s a matter of where are turning a blind eye to?\u201d West asked. \u201cThe media can control, a lot of times it has control [over] what we care about.”<\/em><\/p>\n

West has made similar comments in past interviews and on social media. Last month, Live Action News reported how in an interview with Nick Cannon<\/a>, West condemned Planned Parenthood, stating, “Abortion is the number one killer of Black lives in the United States.” In the Black community, abortion numbers are extremely high.\u00a0According to the CDC<\/a>, while Black people comprise 12% of the U.S. population,\u00a0Black women actually account for\u00a038% of all abortions in the U.S. \u2014 a sobering statistic.<\/p>\n

When West previously spoke about his personal experience with abortion, he was widely criticized for it<\/a>, with many questioning his mental health. West responded by saying, “I cried at the thought of aborting my first born and everyone was so concerned about me\u2026 I\u2019m concerned for the world that feels you shouldn\u2019t cry about this subject.”<\/p>\n
