Irony: Martin Luther King Day and Roe v. Wade

To The Editor:

It is ironic that Martin Luther King Day and the anniversary of the pro-abortion Roe v. Wade decision should both be in January. The irony is that liberals hail MLK for his defense of the right to “life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness” while advocating a holocaust against the unborn–depriving them of their most basic right to life.

A niece of the legendary civil rights leader says her uncle would be considered a pro-life, “social conservative” today. “Uncle Martin sounded no different than a conservative Christian preacher does now,” Alveda King said, “He was pro-life, pro-abstinence before marriage, and based his views on the unchanging Word the Bible,” said King. “Today, Planned Parenthood would condemn Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as part of the ‘religious right.’ “

However, Dr. King would also condemn Planned Parenthood as the largest abortion provider in America with 78% of their clinics in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Blacks are being targeted! That is genocide!

Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? In his book, Killer Angel, George Grant says: “Particularly shocking was Sanger’s involvement in the Eugenics movement. Grant says: ‘[Sanger] was thoroughly convinced that the inferior races’ were in fact human weeds’ and a menace to civilization.’ . . .”

Thank God for Civil Rights. Pray that those same rights would be extended to the unborn. “Jesus loves the little children of the world: red, or yellow, black or white–born or unborn–they are precious in his sight! Jesus loves the little children of the world!”

Hi Keli,

I don't see Sanger's eugenics as part of the matter--those who support abortion rights do not view the fetus as a human, despite images that a four year old would understand to be human. Seriously, I have one right here and could ask her "what's this?" and she would tell me a baby.

THAT is the issue. Most folks who support abortion rights are not willing eugenics proponents. The effect is eugenic in nature, no doubt, but it is not the intent of most folks in the abortion rights movement. I am convinced that more and more people will themselves be convinced that anyone with human parts is a human entitled to legal protection.

Sure the Klan must love the practice of abortion of the poor and the black, but there are better reasons to oppose abortion than the Klan's approval of it.
