<\/div>

On November 2, 2015, University of Missouri Graduate student Jonathan Butler released a letter<\/a> on Twitter calling for the resignation of \u00a0Mizzou’s\u00a0president over alleged mishandling of race related issues on campus. \u00a0Among Butler’s grievances is his assertion that former President Tim Wolfe contributed to “Planned Parenthood services being stripped from campus.”<\/p>\n

\"Planned

Planned Parenthood of Kansas & Mid-Missouri<\/p><\/div>\n

Butler was referencing a decision<\/a> University of Missouri Chancellor R. Bowen Loftin made to disallow a Planned Parenthood doctor’s hospital admitting privileges at the University hospital and cancel<\/a> a clinical intern program with Planned Parenthood affiliates. Missouri state law requires doctors who perform abortions to have clinical privileges at a hospital within 30 miles. These changes were made as part of an investigation after videos<\/a> from the Center for Medial Progress revealed Planned Parenthood officials manipulating abortion procedures and\u00a0haggling over the prices of aborted fetal remains.<\/p>\n

On Sept 29th, weeks before Butler\u2019s hunger fast, Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri\u2019s President and CEO Laura McQuade spoke at a Pink Out Rally on the University of Missouri campus. McQuade threatened Chancellor R. Bowen Lofting,\u00a0saying<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Chancellor Loftin, welcome to Columbia… You just got here a year ago, and you just made a really big mistake. You thought it would be easier to cave to the political pressure to repress women; we are here today to tell you, you made the wrong decision.\u00a0We are going to turn up the heat on you so far, you\u2019re not even going to know what hit you.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The\u00a0Huffington Post<\/a> reports Jonathan Butler also spoke at that rally. The\u00a0Post further reported that Butler and other students believe the President\u2019s action to remove Planned Parenthood\u2019s privileges \u201cdisrupted the learning experience for marginalized\/underrepresented students at the University of Missouri.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Planned

Planned Parenthood KS and Mid-MO’s Laura McQuade (via Saynsumthn’s Blog)<\/p><\/div>\n

Planned Parenthood’s McQuade (pictured right) influenced a student group\u00a0to deliver over 2,500 petitions<\/a>\u00a0asking Loftin to reinstate Planned Parenthood’s admitting privileges and training contracts. (Mizzou eventually caved<\/a>.) Even with the loss of Planned Parenthood’s admitting privileges, students can still service the organization. In addition, 10\u00a0minutes from the campus is the\u00a0Family Health Care Center<\/a>, a federally qualified health center whose mission is to\u00a0provide services to the medically undeserved. Those services include “family planning and prenatal care<\/a>.” In\u00a0spite of marginalized\/underrepresented students having access to cancer screenings, OBGYN care, family planning and potential training programs through federally qualified health centers, Planned Parenthood claims students’\u00a0learning experiences are being disrupted by the school’s decision to break ties with them.<\/p>\n

After Tim Wolfe resigned from his position at Mizzou, McQuade released this statement<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

In Jonathan\u2019s own words: \u201cThis is only the first step, more change is to come.\u201d The clock is ticking for Mid-Missouri women to have continued access to the full range of reproductive health care services, including abortion. Before assuming a new role, we urge Chancellor Loftin to immediately reinstate the appropriate clinical privileges to ensure there is no disruption in health care access for the residents of this community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards also praised Butler\u2019s actions,\u00a0adding<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Officials must take notice and take action to address issues of race, homophobia, sexism, and other oppressions that impact the lives of people daily–including reinstating critical physician privileges at MU to ensure Missouri does not go back to being a state with only one health center that provides abortion.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

What Butler and the Concerned Student 1950 group at Mizzou failed to realize is that Planned Parenthood is primarily interested in promoting their own abortion agenda. Ironically, the Concerned Student 1950 group is defending an organization that was founded by racists who discriminated against blacks, minorities and the disabled.\u00a0Do the students at Mizzou know Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger was a racist proponent<\/a> of negative eugenics who encouraged forced sterilization for people deemed unfit by society? Do they know Sanger had a ‘Negro Project’ in which she used Blacks to advance her birth control campaign? Have they read that Sanger chose Lothrap Stoddard, author<\/a>\u00a0of the “Rising Tide of Color against White Supremacy,” for the board of the American Birth Control League, which changed its name to Planned Parenthood?\u00a0One might argue that was in the past, but Thomas Jefferson\u2019s actions as a slaveholder were also in that past – but that hasn’t stopped Mizzou students from\u00a0covering<\/a>\u00a0his statue on campus with sticky notes reading ‘racist.’<\/p>\n

As a Black woman, I understand the reality of racism and believe it exists on the campus of the University of Missouri and in schools across our country. I want to see racism eradicated in all spheres of society. And this is why I’ll never support Planned Parenthood, an organization rooted in racism which\u00a0supports the genocide of 16 million black children in the US and which wounds and kills black women like Tonya Reaves<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Planned Parenthood targets the black community by locating\u00a0many of its abortion clinics in lower income minority neighborhoods. If the Concerned Student 1950 group at Mizzou wants to work on overthrowing systemic racism, it\u00a0should investigate Planned Parenthood.<\/p>\n

In the pursuit of saving black lives, I pray they\u00a0will\u00a0work to end abortion, the #1 killer of blacks in America.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
