liveaction--2020-01-30--Former abortionist and others share personal impact of abortion in pro-life program

On January 22nd , the Eternal Word Television Network ( EWTN ) channel aired an hour-long film , “ Life Journey with Shawn Carney.
” Knowing that personal stories are uniquely capable of cutting through political rhetoric and euphemisms , 40 Days for Life founder Shawn Carney interviewed a former abortion provider , a post-abortive woman , and a woman who chose life after a poor prenatal diagnosis to share how abortion impacted each of their lives .
Carney first interviewed Dr. Haywood Robinson , a former abortion provider turned 40 Days for Life director of medical affairs and education @ @ @ @ @ @ @ physician , began committing abortions in 1981 , and he told Carney that he initially became an abortion provider because it was financially lucrative .
“ Money is the fuel that drives this whole abortion holocaust , ” he said , also commenting on the lie that abortion should be a matter “ between a woman and her doctor only.
” Dr. Robinson noted that the first time he would “ meet ” his abortion patients was when they were on the exam table for their abortions .
Robinson also spoke of the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s body out of his or her mother ’ s womb in 7-10 minutes , and repeating that process 7-10 times each day .
Dr. Robinson left the abortion industry after he realized his schizophrenic approach — delivering babies in the Labor and Delivery unit on one end of an obstetrics floor , while aborting children of the same age just down the hall .
Carney next spoke to Catherine Walker , a post-abortive mother four times over .
She talked about growing up in a Catholic household in a Chicago suburb , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ high school , but never hearing the word “ abortion ” mentioned .
She said that as a young woman her career was her first priority , leading to her first abortion in 1979 and then three more in the years that followed .
She couldn ’ t recall a single person out on the sidewalks praying any of the times she went in .
Yet , years later after seeking healing from her abortion , she prayed on a sidewalk as part of 40 Days for Life — and one day learned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ six months earlier because she saw her standing outside praying .
Walker said that she wished she could have told her younger self that the memory of the abortions “ is so painful .
And it doesn ’ t go away.
” She spoke about how the “ only way to go on ” after abortion is by seeking and “ surrendering to the mercy of God.
” Finally , Shawn interviewed Rosa Perez , who received a devastating diagnosis during her third pregnancy .
After an ultrasound in the second trimester showed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ not have legs and would have multiple other medical issues , Perez was told that her baby was “ a monster ” and that she “ needed an abortion urgently , ” with the implication that Perez ’ s own life would be in danger if she carried her baby to term .
Perez ’ s own husband encouraged her to follow her doctor ’ s advice .
Her doctor set up an appointment at Planned Parenthood for her , but Perez saw a 40 Days for Life volunteer praying on the sidewalk @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the facility .
She recalled to Shawn that the woman ’ s face was “ red and sunburned , ” and that that spoke volumes to Perez about how much she cared for the women and babies inside the facility .
Perez eventually left Planned Parenthood and spoke to a 40 Days for Life sidewalk counselor who connected her with a pro-life doctor .
Perez found the support that she needed to choose life for her baby , saying “ It ’ s not my right to take away someone ’ s life.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Spanish , was born , Perez urged the medical staff to take her right away to the NICU without waiting to show her her baby .
She told them , “ I accept who and how she is.
” Milagros is now 8 years old , and a smiling , beautiful little girl .
Asked what she would tell women who receive a shocking prenatal diagnosis , Perez said , “ Fight really hard for the babies , because though doctors have studied , God has the last word.

Haywood Robinson
Carney first interviewed Dr. Haywood Robinson, a former abortion provider turned 40 Days for Life director of medical affairs and education. Dr. Robinson, a family medicine physician, began committing abortions in 1981, and he told Carney that he initially became an abortion provider because it was financially lucrative.
“Money is the fuel that drives this whole abortion holocaust,” he said, also commenting on the lie that abortion should be a matter “between a woman and her doctor only.” Dr. Robinson noted that the first time he would “meet” his abortion patients was when they were on the exam table for their abortions. Robinson also spoke of the desensitization required to suck a child’s body out of his or her mother’s womb in 7-10 minutes, and repeating that process 7-10 times each day.
Dr. Robinson left the abortion industry after he realized his schizophrenic approach — delivering babies in the Labor and Delivery unit on one end of an obstetrics floor, while aborting children of the same age just down the hall.
Catherine Walker
Carney next spoke to Catherine Walker, a post-abortive mother four times over. She talked about growing up in a Catholic household in a Chicago suburb, attending Catholic schools all the way through high school, but never hearing the word “abortion” mentioned. She said that as a young woman her career was her first priority, leading to her first abortion in 1979 and then three more in the years that followed. She couldn’t recall a single person out on the sidewalks praying any of the times she went in. Yet, years later after seeking healing from her abortion, she prayed on a sidewalk as part of 40 Days for Life — and one day learned that a mother had changed her mind six months earlier because she saw her standing outside praying.
Walker said that she wished she could have told her younger self that the memory of the abortions “is so painful. And it doesn’t go away.” She spoke about how the “only way to go on” after abortion is by seeking and “surrendering to the mercy of God.”
Rosa Perez
Finally, Shawn interviewed Rosa Perez, who received a devastating diagnosis during her third pregnancy. After an ultrasound in the second trimester showed that Perez’s baby girl did not have legs and would have multiple other medical issues, Perez was told that her baby was “a monster” and that she “needed an abortion urgently,” with the implication that Perez’s own life would be in danger if she carried her baby to term.

Perez’s own husband encouraged her to follow her doctor’s advice. Her doctor set up an appointment at Planned Parenthood for her, but Perez saw a 40 Days for Life volunteer praying on the sidewalk for multiple hours while she was in the facility. She recalled to Shawn that the woman’s face was “red and sunburned,” and that that spoke volumes to Perez about how much she cared for the women and babies inside the facility. Perez eventually left Planned Parenthood and spoke to a 40 Days for Life sidewalk counselor who connected her with a pro-life doctor. Perez found the support that she needed to choose life for her baby, saying “It’s not my right to take away someone’s life.”
When Milagros, which means Miracle in Spanish, was born, Perez urged the medical staff to take her right away to the NICU without waiting to show her her baby. She told them, “I accept who and how she is.” Milagros is now 8 years old, and a smiling, beautiful little girl. Asked what she would tell women who receive a shocking prenatal diagnosis, Perez said, “Fight really hard for the babies, because though doctors have studied, God has the last word.”

liveaction--2020-01-30--Modern-day Planned Parenthood far more extreme than its founder on abortion

( Daily Signal ) Margaret Sanger , the women ’ s rights activist and founder of Planned Parenthood—the largest abortion provider in America—is a hero to the modern Left .
And little wonder , given her outsized role in the founding and promotion of the modern abortion industry .
But what few people realize is that Planned Parenthood is actually more extreme than its founder , at least when it comes to abortion .
In fact , Sanger , as remarkable as it seems , looks positively tame next to the modern agenda .
Which raises the question : why @ @ @ @ @ @ @ so far beyond Sanger in its promotion of abortion , eugenics , and population control , still hold her up as a leader of the movement ?
Isn ’ t she a bit behind the times ?
The movement can thank prominent Progressive leaders of the last decade for raising Sanger ’ s profile .
She ’ s featured prominently in liberal speeches and interviews , like when Hillary Clinton told supporters in 2009 that she was “ in awe of her.
” In 2014 , Barack Obama became the first sitting president @ @ @ @ @ @ @ national conference , praising Sanger ’ s legacy as its “ core principle [ that ] has guided everything all of you do.
” READ : Margaret Sanger ’ s eugenic mentality is disturbingly still alive and well Interestingly , Planned Parenthood , whose highest award still bears Sanger ’ s name , has moved so far to the left that its hero probably couldn ’ t even get a job selling T-shirts for the radical abortion giant today .
If they were consistent , modern leftists would call Sanger a white supremacist @ @ @ @ @ @ @ immigration , race—and yes , abortion .
Take , for example , Sanger ’ s desire to see America ’ s borders sealed to all “ unfit ” immigrants to protect what she considered a fragile gene pool .
That sounds a lot like the caricature of pro-Trump conservatives conjured up in left-wing fantasies .
Then there was her notorious speech before a branch of the New Jersey Ku Klux Klan , a well-documented event despite the content being nearly forgotten .
In that speech , Sanger warned that America must “ keep @ @ @ @ @ @ @ genetic undesirables .
Then there ’ s Sanger ’ s opinion of non-whites , which , if uttered now , would ( rightly ) cause a conniption among Americans .
She considered Australia ’ s Aborigines compulsive rapists and “ the lowest known species of the human family , just a step higher than the chimpanzee in brain development.
” Because he has “ no great brain development , ” Sanger wrote , “ police authority alone prevents [ Aborigines ] from obtaining sexual satisfaction on the streets.
” But if Planned Parenthood @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ’ s most unforgivable “ sin ” would be her skepticism of abortion itself .
One of Sanger ’ s few criticisms of the Soviet Union when she visited the communist state in 1934 was its outright insistence on encouraging abortion over contraception .
“ Four hundred thousand abortions a year indicate women do not want to have so many children , ” a perplexed Sanger told a Soviet doctor .
She thought that access to birth control was a “ human right ” —but was repulsed by abortion .
“ In my @ @ @ @ @ @ @ dealing with the problem , ” Sanger wrote upon returning home , “ because abortion , no matter how well done , is a terrific nervous strain and an exhausting physical hardship.
” In fact , the founder of Planned Parenthood was deeply concerned about the “ tremendous number of abortions ” taking place in the Soviet Union , as historian Paul Kengor has documented .
Legalization of abortion was one of the communist government ’ s first acts following the 1917 Russian Revolution—nearly 60 years before Roe v. Wadeaccomplished the same thing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Soviet Union was providing abortions free of charge to its citizens .
Sanger wrote that the number of abortions in Moscow was 100,000 per year .
By the 1970s , there were 7–8 million abortions annually in the USSR— “ a rate unmatched in human history , ” Kengor points out .
Roe v. Wade only managed 1.5 million in 1973 , the year the Supreme Court legalized abortion .
By these metrics , Planned Parenthood ’ s position on abortion in 2020 is far closer to that of post-Revolutionary Soviet Union than @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Progressives held Sanger to their own standards , they ’ d have to denounce her antiquated views—so why do they continue to applaud her ?
Because the Left believes that Sanger ’ s contributions to the pro-choice movement outweigh her racist views .
So Planned Parenthood sticks with its despicable founder , refusing to disavow her altogether , to its shame .

Tonight , President Donald Trump gave his annual State of the Union address , discussing a variety of different topics — and one of those was the sanctity of human life .
Among several emotional moments was one involving a special little fighter and her mother : Ellie and Robin Schneider , who both attended the State of the Union as Trump ’ s special guests .
“ In 2017 , doctors at St. Luke ’ s Hospital in Kansas City delivered one of the earliest premature babies to ever survive , ” Trump began .
“ Born at 21 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ than a pound , Ellie Schneider was a born fighter .
Little Ellie kept on winning the battle of life .
Today , Ellie is a strong and healthy two-year-old girl sitting with her amazing mother , Robin , in the gallery .
We are glad to have you with us tonight.
” President Trump spoke about the hope that people like Ellie give the country , as well as the work that still needs to be done .
“ Ellie reminds us every child is a miracle of life .
Thanks to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ premature babies delivered at the hospital where Ellie was born now survive , ” he said , adding , “ Our goal should be to ensure that every baby has the best chance to thrive and grow , just like Ellie .
That is why I am asking Congress to provide an additional $ 50 billion to fund neonatal research for America ’ s youngest patients.
” Yet as Live Action president Lila Rose pointed out on Twitter , countless babies born at the same gestational age as Ellie are still legally killed @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
President Trump used Ellie ’ s story to announce his goal of banning late-term abortions , as Ellie ’ s mother Robin Schneider cried and cheered .
“ That is why I am also calling upon numbers of Congress tonight to pass legislation finally banning the late-term abortion of babies , ” he said .
“ Whether we are Republican , Democrat , or Independent , surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God as we support America ’ s moms and dads.
” But @ @ @ @ @ @ @ preborn lives to be protected ; he also argued that families need more and better support , calling for things like increased paid family leave and more accessible child care options .
“ I was proud to sign the new law offering parents in the workforce paid family leave , serving as a model for the rest of the country , ” Trump said .
“ Now I call on Congress to pass the bipartisan Advancing Support for Working Families Act , extended family leave to mothers and fathers all across our nation.
@ @ @ @ @ @ @ response on Twitter , these policies are part of what it means to be pro-life .
“ Paid family leave is pro-life policy in action , ” she wrote .
“ No mama should have to leave her newborn to go back to work just to make ends meet.
” Banning late-term abortions and providing paid family leave and child care are laudable pro-life goals .
The Trump administration should be commended for the action they have taken thus far to protect life .

“In 2017, doctors at St. Luke’s Hospital in Kansas City delivered one of the earliest premature babies to ever survive,” Trump began. “Born at 21 weeks and six days and weighing less than a pound, Ellie Schneider was a born fighter. Little Ellie kept on winning the battle of life. Today, Ellie is a strong and healthy two-year-old girl sitting with her amazing mother, Robin, in the gallery. We are glad to have you with us tonight.”
President Trump spoke about the hope that people like Ellie give the country, as well as the work that still needs to be done. “Ellie reminds us every child is a miracle of life. Thanks to modern medical wonders, 50% of premature babies delivered at the hospital where Ellie was born now survive,” he said, adding, “Our goal should be to ensure that every baby has the best chance to thrive and grow, just like Ellie. That is why I am asking Congress to provide an additional $50 billion to fund neonatal research for America’s youngest patients.”
Yet as Live Action president Lila Rose pointed out on Twitter, countless babies born at the same gestational age as Ellie are still legally killed through abortion every day in this country.
Little Ellie could have been legally killed, moments before birth, because of our nation’s barbaric refusal to protect life. There are millions of little Ellies not with us tonight because of “choice.” We will fight until abortion is eradicated completely. #SOTU — Lila Rose (@LilaGraceRose) February 5, 2020
President Trump used Ellie’s story to announce his goal of banning late-term abortions, as Ellie’s mother Robin Schneider cried and cheered. “That is why I am also calling upon numbers of Congress tonight to pass legislation finally banning the late-term abortion of babies,” he said. “Whether we are Republican, Democrat, or Independent, surely we must all agree that every human life is a sacred gift from God as we support America’s moms and dads.”

liveaction--2020-02-05--Australian doctor shuns involvement with contraception and abortion, and politicians are furious

Politicians and medical professionals alike are calling for Australia to make conscientious objection to things like abortion and contraception illegal — and one doctor in particular seems to be at the middle of the controversy .
Dr. Hong Nguyen , who works at Torquay Medical Health and Wellness Clinic near Melbourne , recently posted an announcement saying she would no longer prescribe contraception or consult for abortion or IVF .
When a local politician noticed , he set off a firestorm after posting the photo .
Andy Meddick posted a photo of the announcement on Twitter .
“ Shocked to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , legal .
But likely emboldened by Religious Discrimination Bill , ” Meddick wrote .
“ Federal MPs must vote it down – or lives and safety will be at risk .
This is reproductive healthcare and nobody should ever be denied it.
” The image was retweeted over 500 times , and hundreds of people chimed in to express their outrage .
And Meddick has further spoken out about it , arguing that people with a religious objection to things like abortion shouldn ’ t be involved in health care .
“ @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It ’ s disgraceful and incredibly concerning , ” he said in an interview with Yahoo News Australia .
“ If this particular doctor is making this decision based upon religious beliefs it should be reversed because religious decisions don ’ t have a place in reproductive healthcare .
Nobody should ever feel ashamed to see a doctor and it ’ s a vulnerable time.
” Currently , the Australian government is considering a religious discrimination law which would allow conscientious objection in health care to be protected .
But Meddick isn @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ; Chris Moy , president of the Australian Medical Association , opposes the legislation too , according to The Sun : When you sign up to be a doctor , we have a code of ethics and professional standards – and one of the key things is having responsibility for our patients .
Now the problem is this legislation is a crude tool .
We have this law that says you have this consent but the legislation now says “ I can walk away ” if you have an objection to something @ @ @ @ @ @ @ But ] it confuses and creates a lower bar when compared to professional standards and ethics , and the flow and affects in terms of how the fabric of the current health system where there is a balance between doctors ’ rights to conscientiously object , and their requirement to always be there for the patient .
We have an obligation to the patient and not abandon them .
We actually have to be able to make sure that we don ’ t impede their care , and to facilitate them .
We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ ] .
What AMA is concerned about is how the conscientious objection is undermining the professional standards .
Patients trust me as a doctor so I ’ m not going to let them down .
However , what is ignored by people like Meddick and Moy is that patients are not actually being deprived of any care .
Torquay Medical Health and Wellness Clinic released a statement addressing the controversy , and pointed out that other doctors within that very clinic offer the services Nguyen doesn ’ t want to .
“ We @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the rights of women to make their own health decisions , ” the statement read , adding , “ Our practice sits in the middle , a group of people who are medical practitioners , nurses and reception staff that together between all of us provides care to EVERYONE who needs it , regardless others beliefs , religion or political views or cultures .
We are a diverse team that between us cares for everyone who uses our clinic .
The clinic said it has received so many abusive comments that it had @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
It is disturbing that people are arguing that medical professionals should be forced to violate their own beliefs and principles or be banned from practicing medicine altogether .
The idea that a child in the womb of a human mother is also a human is a scientific fact , not a “ religious belief.
” As the clinic itself pointed out , other doctors there were still willing to provide contraceptions or abortions .
However , to those who seek to promote abortion , it isn ’ t enough .
Instead , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ support abortion , or be forced out of the profession .
That ’ s a chilling mindset , and if the legislation doesn ’ t protect doctors like Nguyen , it ’ s a worrying sign of what the future may hold for pro-life health care providers in Australia .

Currently, the Australian government is considering a religious discrimination law which would allow conscientious objection in health care to be protected. But Meddick isn’t the only one who opposes it; Chris Moy, president of the Australian Medical Association, opposes the legislation too, according to The Sun:
When you sign up to be a doctor, we have a code of ethics and professional standards – and one of the key things is having responsibility for our patients. Now the problem is this legislation is a crude tool. We have this law that says you have this consent but the legislation now says “I can walk away” if you have an objection to something like a deeply religious belief. [But] it confuses and creates a lower bar when compared to professional standards and ethics, and the flow and affects in terms of how the fabric of the current health system where there is a balance between doctors’ rights to conscientiously object, and their requirement to always be there for the patient.
We have an obligation to the patient and not abandon them. We actually have to be able to make sure that we don’t impede their care, and to facilitate them. We’re pretty unhappy about [legislation]. What AMA is concerned about is how the conscientious objection is undermining the professional standards. Patients trust me as a doctor so I’m not going to let them down.
However, what is ignored by people like Meddick and Moy is that patients are not actually being deprived of any care.
READ: President of Argentina threatens conscience rights of pro-life medical professionals
Torquay Medical Health and Wellness Clinic released a statement addressing the controversy, and pointed out that other doctors within that very clinic offer the services Nguyen doesn’t want to. “We do support women’s health and the rights of women to make their own health decisions,” the statement read, adding, “Our practice sits in the middle, a group of people who are medical practitioners, nurses and reception staff that together between all of us provides care to EVERYONE who needs it, regardless others beliefs, religion or political views or cultures. We are a diverse team that between us cares for everyone who uses our clinic.
The clinic said it has received so many abusive comments that it had to shut down its social media page.
It is disturbing that people are arguing that medical professionals should be forced to violate their own beliefs and principles or be banned from practicing medicine altogether. The idea that a child in the womb of a human mother is also a human is a scientific fact, not a “religious belief.” As the clinic itself pointed out, other doctors there were still willing to provide contraceptions or abortions. However, to those who seek to promote abortion, it isn’t enough. Instead, they demand that all doctors in Australia support abortion, or be forced out of the profession.
That’s a chilling mindset, and if the legislation doesn’t protect doctors like Nguyen, it’s a worrying sign of what the future may hold for pro-life health care providers in Australia.

Thomas More Society’s Peter Breen said the NAF case has been “bouncing back and forth in the appellate court” and is still pending.

They established “through sworn testimony” in the civil case and companion criminal hearing that:
Babies were being born alive in Planned Parenthood facilities after abortions for the purpose of harvesting their organs. StemExpress was cutting the beating hearts out of babies who survived abortions. There was no true informed consent given by the women whose babies’ body parts were harvested.
Mainstream media not only failed to report the above points, but also failed to correct Planned Parenthood’s false claim that the CMP videos were “deceptively edited,” even after forensic analyses found just the opposite.
The public is also largely unaware that StemExpress, Planned Parenthood’s primary fetal tissue procurement agency in California, was shut down due to illegal activity. Shockingly, Thomas More Society lawyers were then prevented by gag order from presenting that information to the jury in the Planned Parenthood case.

liveaction--2020-02-05--Rescued by abortion pill reversal, Isaiah is celebrating his first birthday

( Pregnancy Help News ) On a spring day in 2018 , Sarah walked into a Planned Parenthood under immense pressure .
Already a single mother of three children , she was pregnant with her fourth , and the baby ’ s father had one thing in mind : an abortion .
Against her better judgment , Sarah took the first drug in the chemical abortion regimen , returned home , and began to cry .
“ I couldn ’ t look at my other three children in the face without breaking down and telling myself this baby deserves love @ @ @ @ @ @ @ front of me , ” she said .
With that thought in mind , she decided to act , turning to the internet to see if there was any way she could save her unborn baby .
In that moment , Sarah , like hundreds of other women , discovered a fast-growing treatment known as Abortion Pill Reversal .
She quickly dialed the 24/7 Abortion Pill Rescue helpline ( 877-558-0333 ) and was put in touch with one of the network ’ s 800-plus medical providers .
Once she was at the doctor @ @ @ @ @ @ @ s heartbeat was detected and Sarah was able to begin the Abortion Pill Reversal treatment .
Used as an antidote to the abortion drug mifepristone ( otherwise known as the “ abortion pill ” or RU-486 ) , the reversal protocol works by flooding a woman ’ s body with progesterone , the natural hormone that is needed to sustain a healthy pregnancy .
If administered within 72 hours of taking the abortion drug , progesterone has a 68 percent success rate in saving unborn babies .
“ I prayed for God to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ .
“ I wanted to try whatever I could to reverse the worst decision I had made.
” Today , Sarah ’ s life looks vastly different from the heartache she faced earlier that spring day .
That ’ s because the little baby she thought was aborted is alive and well , having recently celebrated his first birthday .
To Sarah ’ s immense joy , the Abortion Pill Reversal protocol worked .
Her baby boy Isaiah has become an integral member of her family and has stolen the hearts of his @ @ @ @ @ @ @ siblings .
“ Isaiah is starting to walk , ” Sarah wrote in a message to Heartbeat International , the group that manages the Abortion Pill Rescue Network .
“ He ’ s starting to babble more and is always hungry .
He is a ham and knows it .
He loves jumping in on the action when his siblings are playing.
” The miracle of her child ’ s life is not lost on Sarah .
Since the experience of rescuing Isaiah from abortion , she has been overcome with unshakable gratitude @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with others .
“ All my children bless me daily , ” she wrote .
“ Each one taught me lessons , but Isaiah began my new life .

” “ I am ashamed I went for an abortion for my son , ” said Sarah , “ but I will forever be humble that God broke through my life @ @ @ @ @ @ @ the aid of selfless , caring individuals.
” “ One day , we will end abortion , ” she continued .
“ And no woman will ever have to feel that regret and shame again and will either get to look with love at their child , or gift a couple with the blessing they have been praying for .

liveaction--2020-02-05--Planned Parenthood’s ‘Black Organizing Program’ targets population that already has highest abortion

Planned Parenthood’s ‘Black Organizing Program’ targets population that already has highest abortion rate

Planned Parenthood has a newly created “ Black Organizing Program ” which some see as shockingly reminiscent of their founder Margaret Sanger ’ s “ Negro Project.
” Details of this new outreach and education program were made public in a job description seeking an intern for the program , which is expected to run from June 1 to August 14 in Planned Parenthood ’ s D.C. office .
The candidate will work under the direction of PPFA ’ s Associate Director of Black Campaigns ( currently Jamesa Bailey ) and must have “ [ e ] xperience with campaigns @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in Black communities/populations ) .
” While Sanger pushed to use eugenics to control the births among those she deemed “ unfit , ” Planned Parenthood currently appears to be on a mission to destigmatize abortion in Black communities .
The similarities between Sanger ’ s efforts to indoctrinate minorities using Black ministers and this more modern attempt of co-opting Black community support can be clearly seen in Planned Parenthood ’ s employment ad , which states in part , “ The Black Organizing Program is Planned Parenthood ’ s national effort to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ for reproductive health , sex education , and access to care.
” However , it seems that those in the Black community have a great deal of “ access to care ” ( typically euphemistic language for abortion ) , as Black women now account for a whopping 38 % of all abortions and have the highest abortion rate of all races , while African Americans make up just 12 % of the U.S. population .
( By comparison , white women had 35 % of all abortions and Hispanic women accounted for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ News has repeatedly documented that while abortions are on the rise at Planned Parenthood , health services and clients are actually plummeting .
Planned Parenthood Federation of America ( PPFA ) seeks a dynamic 2020 Black Organizing Program to help further the goals of the organization by working with members of the Black Organizing Team….You will have the opportunity to learn : Experience working with communities of color and other marginalized groups with opportunities to highlight those voices in the Reproductive health and rights movement .
Development of training materials and support for @ @ @ @ @ @ @ with Black communities .
Additional job postings appear to reveal an all-out-effort by the eugenics-founded organization to target the Black community .
Live Action News located the position of Specialist , Black Leadership & Engagement ( view ad here ) who reports to the Director of Black Leadership and Engagement ( Nia Martin-Robinson ) to , “ build and strengthen relationships within Black communities and be expressly familiar with culture and issue areas of Black communities ” and “ Maintain Black partnership database… ” as well as “ …highlight Black work.
” Planned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Sanger , who was saturated in the eugenics movement .
In 1921 , Sanger proclaimed that “ the campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value , but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of eugenics.
” In 1926 , Margaret Sanger met with the women ’ s branch of the Ku Klux Klan , entertaining additional invitations .
The event took place in Silver Lake , New Jersey , as Sanger described in her autobiography : I accepted an invitation to talk to the women ’ s @ @ @ @ @ @ @ I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses… .
I was escorted to the platform , was introduced , and began to speak… .
In the end , through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose .
A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered .
( Margaret Sanger : An Autobiography , P.366 ) Sanger called that event “ one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.
” Then , in 1939 , Sanger created her “ Negro Project , ” as @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Clarence Gamble regarding her desire to use Black ministers in furthering her organization ’ s agenda .
“ We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population , ” she said .
And if it did , these ministers could “ straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.
” Live Action News has documented how many of Sanger ’ s board members were also deeply entrenched in the racist philosophy of eugenics .
Among those were Lothrop Stoddard @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Massachusetts chapter of the Ku Klux Klan — as well as Planned Parenthood ’ s first physician president , Alan F. Guttmacher ( after whom the Guttmacher Institute is named ) .
Both men pushed population control methods that targeted Black Americans .

DEFEND PREBORN CHILDREN IN 2020 MAKE YOUR GIFT TO LIVE ACTION

Planned Parenthood has a newly created “Black Organizing Program” which some see as shockingly reminiscent of their founder Margaret Sanger’s “Negro Project.” Details of this new outreach and education program were made public in a job description seeking an intern for the program, which is expected to run from June 1 to August 14 in Planned Parenthood’s D.C. office. The candidate will work under the direction of PPFA’s Associate Director of Black Campaigns (currently Jamesa Bailey) and must have “[e]xperience with campaigns in diverse communities preferred (with emphasis in Black communities/populations).” While Sanger pushed to use eugenics to control the births among those she deemed “unfit,” Planned Parenthood currently appears to be on a mission to destigmatize abortion in Black communities.
The similarities between Sanger’s efforts to indoctrinate minorities using Black ministers and this more modern attempt of co-opting Black community support can be clearly seen in Planned Parenthood’s employment ad, which states in part, “The Black Organizing Program is Planned Parenthood’s national effort to work with the Black community on fights for reproductive health, sex education, and access to care.” However, it seems that those in the Black community have a great deal of “access to care” (typically euphemistic language for abortion), as Black women now account for a whopping 38% of all abortions and have the highest abortion rate of all races, while African Americans make up just 12% of the U.S. population. (By comparison, white women had 35% of all abortions and Hispanic women accounted for almost 19%.) Live Action News has repeatedly documented that while abortions are on the rise at Planned Parenthood, health services and clients are actually plummeting.
The ad continues:
Planned Parenthood Federation of America (PPFA) seeks a dynamic 2020 Black Organizing Program to help further the goals of the organization by working with members of the Black Organizing Team….You will have the opportunity to learn:
Foundational organizing skills at a national level, including goal planning and evaluating success.
Experience working with communities of color and other marginalized groups with opportunities to highlight those voices in the Reproductive health and rights movement.
Development of training materials and support for Black leaders and affiliate staff who work with Black communities.
Additional job postings appear to reveal an all-out-effort by the eugenics-founded organization to target the Black community. Live Action News located the position of Specialist, Black Leadership & Engagement (view ad here) who reports to the Director of Black Leadership and Engagement (Nia Martin-Robinson) to, “build and strengthen relationships within Black communities and be expressly familiar with culture and issue areas of Black communities”and “Maintain Black partnership database…” as well as “…highlight Black work.”
Planned Parenthood was founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger, who was saturated in the eugenics movement. In 1921, Sanger proclaimed that “the campaign for birth control is not merely of eugenic value, but is practically identical in ideal with the final aim of eugenics.” In 1926, Margaret Sanger met with the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan, entertaining additional invitations. The event took place in Silver Lake, New Jersey, as Sanger described in her autobiography:
I accepted an invitation to talk to the women’s branch of the Ku Klux Klan…. I saw through the door dim figures parading with banners and illuminated crosses…. I was escorted to the platform, was introduced, and began to speak…. In the end, through simple illustrations I believed I had accomplished my purpose. A dozen invitations to speak to similar groups were proffered. (Margaret Sanger: An Autobiography, P.366)
Sanger called that event “one of the weirdest experiences I had in lecturing.”
Then, in 1939, Sanger created her “Negro Project,” as described in a letter she penned to Clarence Gamble regarding her desire to use Black ministers in furthering her organization’s agenda. “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” she said. And if it did, these ministers could “straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
Live Action News has documented how many of Sanger’s board members were also deeply entrenched in the racist philosophy of eugenics. Among those were Lothrop Stoddard — identified as Exalted Cyclops of the Massachusetts chapter of the Ku Klux Klan — as well as Planned Parenthood’s first physician president, Alan F. Guttmacher (after whom the Guttmacher Institute is named). Both men pushed population control methods that targeted Black Americans. While Sanger was a vocal proponent of eugenic sterilization, Guttmacher (a former VP of the Eugenics Society) suggested voluntary methods like abortion would be a better tool. Planned Parenthood itself became steeped in the eugenics community, taking free rent from eugenics organizations.

This clip from the documentary film, Maafa21, recounts a case in which eugenics courts utilized Planned Parenthood’s services to do the dirty work of eugenic sterilizations:

Notable Black leaders of the past — Fannie Lou Hamer, Dr. Mildred Jefferson, Dr. Dolores Bernadette Grier, Iowa Rep. June Franklin, Erma Clardy Craven, and even comedian Dick Gregory — tried to warn how abortion would become a tool of Black genocide. Today, Black leaders and even former Planned Parenthood board members are speaking out about the organization’s eugenics agenda.
To counter the suspicions that they had an agenda of Black genocide, Planned Parenthood appointed Black leaders to their organization to roll out their abortion agenda, just as Sanger’s Negro Project recommended. This has resulted in abortion disproportionately targeting the Black community to this day. Live Action News previously documented that, according to the most recent statistics (2016):
In one year, abortion snuffs out between 230,000 to 260,000 Black lives.
Black people made up just 12 percent of the U.S. population but accounted for 38 percent of reported abortions.
Black abortions (236,919 estimated) outnumbered the top nine leading causes of death (235,139) for Black Americans combined.
(235,139) for Black Americans combined. Estimated Black abortion numbers were 24 times greater than homicides committed on Black Americans (236,919 v. 9,860) that same year.
We now estimate that between 2010 and 2016 over 1.7 million Black babies lost their lives to abortion.

liveaction--2020-02-06--Why should the Black community be wary of Planned Parenthood? Justice Clarence Thomas explains.

Race-based abortion is 20th-century eugenics , according to United States Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas .
In a multi-page summary opinion written last year , Thomas stated , “ Enshrining a constitutional right to an abortion based solely on the race , sex , or disability of an unborn child , as Planned Parenthood advocates , would constitutionalize the views of the 20th-century eugenics movement.

The case for which Thomas wrote his opinion was Box v.

Read more details on the Supreme Court case here.
Justice Thomas wrote a lengthy opinion in the case, in which he linked eugenics ideology to Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger. But he also mentioned upon one of Sanger’s notorious American Birth Control League directors, Lothrop Stoddard, writing:
[…E]ugenicist Lothrop Stoddard argued that the “prodigious birth-rate” of the nonwhite races was bringing the world to a racial tipping point…. Stoddard feared that without “artificial barriers,” the races “will increasingly mingle, and the inevitable result will be the supplanting or absorption of the higher by the lower types….” Eugenic arguments like these helped precipitate the Immigration Act of 1924, which significantly reduced immigration from outside of Western and Northern Europe….
Read more about Stoddard’s views here.
Justice Clarence Thomas, who is Black, addressed the suspicions that the Black leaders of Sanger’s time had about “family planning” and abortion being used as a tool for Black genocide. Thomas wrote:
Avoiding the word “eugenics” did not assuage everyone’s fears. Some black groups saw “‘family planning’ as a euphemism for race genocide” and believed that “black people [were] taking the brunt of the ‘planning’” under Planned Parenthood’s “ghetto approach” to distributing its services.
Thomas was absolutely correct; Live Action News has published several examples of how the Black community was opposed to population control measures:
Thomas then discussed former Planned Parenthood president and American Eugenics Society VP, Dr. Alan F. Guttmacher, writing, “Many eugenicists therefore supported legalizing abortion” and “abortion advocates—including future Planned Parenthood President Alan Guttmacher— endorsed the use of abortion for eugenic reasons….”
He continued:
One journal declared that “abortion is the one mode of population limitation which has demonstrated the speedy impact which it can make upon a national problem…. Planned Parenthood’s leaders echoed these themes. When exulting over “‘fantastic . . . progress’” in expanding abortion, for example, Guttmacher stated that “‘the realization of the population problem has been responsible’ for the change in attitudes. ‘We’re now concerned more with the quality of population than the quantity.’
Live Action News has documented how Alan Guttmacher was instrumental in the decriminalization of abortion, taking Planned Parenthood into the arena of committing abortions.

Although Thomas concurred with the Court’s decision not to rule on the discriminatory abortion portion of the case at this time, he recognized that the issue of eugenics must eventually be addressed by the Court, writing, “Given the potential for abortion to become a tool of eugenic manipulation, the Court will soon need to confront the constitutionality of laws like Indiana’s…. Although the Court declines to wade into these issues today, we cannot avoid them forever. Having created the constitutional right to an abortion, this Court is dutybound to address its scope.”
