Greenlee calls into question a pro-life initiative named after Emmett Till. Greenlee writes:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Just days after what would have been Emmett Till\u2019s 74th birthday, Students for Life unveiled a video in which clinic staff allegedly scrutinized an aborted fetus.<a href=\"http:\/\/studentsforlife.org\/call-him-emmett\/\"><u> \u201cCall him Emmett,\u201d suggested the video,<\/u><\/a> and make him this century\u2019s civil rights symbol \u2014 just like the 14-year-old Emmett Till&#8217;s murder by White Mississippi racists galvanized the modern civil rights movement.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\">Let\u2019s call the video what it is \u2014 the latest in the anti-abortion movement\u2019s appropriation of civil rights and its crass manipulations of history.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>The Students for Life video, \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/callhimemmett.com\/\">Call Him Emmett<\/a>,\u201d is a response to a series of undercover videos from the Center for Medical Progress. To the horror of most, the footage takes us into the abortion labs where we view the remains of fetuses stored in refrigerators and in petri dishes.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>In the 4th video shot on April 7, 2015, we see Planned Parenthood\u2019s Dr. Savita Ginde and a medical assistant sorting through the tissue of an 11-week-old aborted preborn child. \u201cHere\u2019s some organs for you,&#8221; Dr. Ginde says. \u201cHere\u2019s a stomach, kidney, heart.\u201d Then a medical assistant exclaims: <strong>\u201cAnother boy!\u201d <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When Kristan Hawkins, President of <a href=\"http:\/\/studentsforlife.org\/\">Students for Life, <\/a>saw that boy, she was pierced in her heart.\u00a0He wasn&#8217;t just &#8220;another boy&#8221; in her eyes. She wanted to give him something that possibly no one ever would. Her heart desired to bestow value upon this 11-week-old human being. Kristan gave &#8220;another boy&#8221; a name. She called him Emmett.<\/p>\n<p>As a Black woman who cherishes history, I know the sensitive nature of Emmett Till\u2019s story. High school was the first time I heard of\u00a0his brutal murder.\u00a0At 15, I was grieved for Emmett and angered over the injustice that took his life.\u00a0Later in\u00a0my 20&#8217;s, my mother confessed to paying to abort me. If not for the words of an elderly African American janitor telling her in the hospital, &#8220;God would give her the strength to have me,&#8221; I would have lost my life.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_72367\" style=\"width: 970px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-72367\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-image-72367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/momandi.jpg\" alt=\"My mother and I\" width=\"960\" height=\"705\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/momandi.jpg 960w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/momandi-300x220.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/momandi-700x514.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 960px) 100vw, 960px\" \/><p id=\"caption-attachment-72367\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">My mother and I<\/p><\/div>\n<p>When I saw Emmett\u2019s broken body in high school, I saw a Black teenager like me.\u00a0When I look at the broken body of an 11-week-old boy in a petri dish, I see a person, who suffered a\u00a0death I could have.

We can draw from his story in the past to help us process present injustices against humanity. This is why 60 years later, it still speaks to us.<\/p>\n<p>We are calling the\u00a011-week-old preborn boy seen in the videos Emmett because he deserved a name. He represents millions of children whose bodies have been unjustly broken\u00a0through abortion.\u00a0Our intention in naming Emmett was not to shame Black woman, but rather to awaken them. The <strong>images<\/strong> of Emmett\u2019s body were a catalyst to awaken a nation. We want the <strong>images<\/strong> of this 11-week-old boy lying in a petri dish to do the same.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-72368 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/www.liveactionnews.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/emmett.jpg\" alt=\"emmett\" width=\"735\" height=\"735\" srcset=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/emmett.jpg 735w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/emmett-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/emmett-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/emmett-700x700.jpg 700w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 735px) 100vw, 735px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Emmett Till\u2019s killers\u00a0threw his body in a river, but he surfaced.
