<\/div>

On October 23rd, the National Black Pro-Life Coalition <\/span>announced<\/span><\/a>\u00a0that it has filed a racial discrimination claim with the Office of Civil Rights (OCR), U.S. Department of Health & Human Services, against Planned Parenthood Federation of America. The claim alleges that America\u2019s largest abortion corporation has been discriminating against and targeting Black women and children for almost 100 years.<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Black Pro-Life Coalition is a network of pro-life and pro-family organizations \u201c<\/span>committed<\/span><\/a> to restoring a culture that celebrates our Lord Jesus Christ, Life and Family, cultivating Hope and Prosperity in the Black community.\u201d The coalition includes leaders such as Catherine Davis of the Restoration Project, Alveda King (niece of Martin Luther King Jr.), Rev. Dean Nelson of the Frederick Douglass Foundation, and many others.<\/span><\/p>\n

The complaint opens by asserting Planned Parenthood\u2019s systemic discrimination based on race in the years since abortion was legalized by <\/span>Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i>. The complaint claims that the multi-billion dollar corporation \u201chas provided its services in a manner that perpetuates the systemic racism that was rife in America before 1964,\u201d and that its \u201cservices have resulted in a disproportionate and negative impact and treatment of Blacks and increasingly Latinos.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The complaint also highlights Planned Parenthood\u2019s roots in the eugenics movement, including its founder\u2019s personal mission \u201cto promote eugenic birth selection throughout the United States so that there may be more well-born and fewer ill-born children \u2015 a stronger, healthier and more intelligent race,\u201d and her \u201cNegro Project\u201d aimed at <\/span>exterminating<\/span><\/a> the \u201cnegro population\u201d in America.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Black community is the one group identified and targeted since Planned Parenthood\u2019s founder, Margaret Sanger, launched the Negro Project in 1939,\u201d the complaint reads. \u201cFor years they have directed their messaging and facilities toward primarily Black women and babies. The results of their programming have helped control the birth rate Black community leaders and influencers warned would be genocidal.\u201d <\/span>In 2012,<\/a>\u00a0Life Issues Institute estimated<\/a> that 79%<\/span>\u00a0of Planned Parenthood\u2019s facilities in the U.S. were within walking distance of minority communities, contributing to more Black babies aborted than any other demograpic and more Black babies killed by abortion each year than the other top leading causes of death combined.<\/span><\/p>\n

“To this day, by executing the agenda of their white supremacist founder, Planned Parenthood has developed what I consider to be a method of womb lynching,” said the Founder of the Life Education and Resource Network, Johnny Hunter. “That lynching has resulted in the termination of more than twenty million Black lives.”<\/span><\/p>\n

Alveda King commented, \u201cAs my Uncle Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. reminded the nation in 1963, \u2018Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.\u2019 It is my prayer that the arc of the universe will now impact HHS, igniting justice for our children in the womb. Now is the time!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n
