Movie a gripping, honest portrayal of Planned Parenthood clinics
I hardly ever go to a movie. In the past 18 months, I have watched a total of one. That ONE time was yesterday. Several friends had suggested I go see “UNPLANNED” and after viewing a list of those who were attacking the film, along with the fact that only a small percentage of theaters nationwide were even showing the movie, I decided to watch it. I am glad that I did. “UNPLANNED” is a gripping, brutally honest and real-life depiction of what goes on in the clinics of Planned Parenthood. The film is a real-life expose by a former director of one of their clinics. After years of self-deception, this director, finally, can take no more of Planned Parenthood’s dishonesty, open lies, distortions, greed and their slaughter of babies. I am not a fan of Hollywood, but I do hope many will view this film.
Several online conservative sources have indicated that Planned Parenthood continues, in spite of their denials, to traffic in the body parts of aborted babies. Should these reports prove accurate such as a April 2017 article in the Federalist by Bre Payton, the fallout could be disastrous. The persistent and vehement disavowal of these charges by Planned Parenthood and its allies, allegations which first surfaced in 2015, are seen by many as nothing more than damage control.
Liberal Democrats, feminists, and religious apostates continue to insist that Planned Parenthood should be identified as the foremost “family planning” and “woman’s health provider” in these United States. Nor will its advocates abide any investigation or criticism of its policies or practices. When necessary, outright fabrication, half-truths, misstatements, purposeful evasion, and political spin are all deemed valid tactics to guard Planned Parenthood against any charge of impropriety.
But what is the real truth? There remains ample evidence from Planned Parenthood’s historical beginning and founding ideology that cannot be easily covered-up or dismissed. There is more than sufficient research and other evidence to demonstrate Planned Parenthood is the brainchild and continuation of many of the beliefs and desires of Margaret Sanger.
For example, the January 1992 issue of CITIZEN contains an article titled “Black Genocide” by Clenard Childress Jr. The article is disgusting. TIME published an article in October 2016 titled “What Margaret Sanger really said about eugenics and race.” That article, perhaps unintentionally, reveals much about Sanger’s racist ideas. Another significant piece on Sanger may be found in the Catholic monthly magazine, America: The Jesuit Review. Writer, John J Conley demonstrates that Margaret Sanger was a eugenicist and asks “Why are we still celebrating her?”
Margaret Sanger, was an unabashed devotee to the theory of social Darwinism as it was developed by a cousin of Charles Darwin named Sir Francis Galton. Galton invented a new word — eugenics — to define his societal “survival of the fittest” theory. Sanger’s complete acceptance of this popular racist myth was verified in much of her writing.
For example, Sanger often repeated the then popular opinion that Aboriginal Australians were “just a step higher than the chimpanzee.” In spite of the ingenious efforts by her current admirers to deny or downplay it, Sanger was a thoroughgoing racist. She apparently believed that blacks were genetically inferior to the Caucasian peoples. She often hinted that American blacks, along with certain other immigrant peoples should be segregated and their reproduction greatly limited. Sanger repeatedly referred to the poor as “human waste.” These she said were not worthy of assistance and were like “human weeds that should be exterminated
Margaret Sanger was an avid and relentless proponent of what is known as “negative eugenics.” This was the despicable theory that government agencies, schools, and all of “upper” society should strive to improve human hereditary traits by intervention in the reproduction of those who she considered “unfit.” Sanger believed in restrictive immigration policies, forced sterilization, and mandatory segregation for those she said “whose condition is known to be detrimental to the stamina of the race or those she considered the ‘unfit.'”
Remnants of her godless teachings and racist beliefs are still evident in the policies and programs of Planned Parenthood. For example, why are so many of its clinics located in minority communities? Why is it that a poor black woman is more than twice as likely to seek an abortion as will a poor white woman? This is more than coincidence or some meaningless statistical aberration. In New York City for the past several years, more black babies are killed in the womb than those who are brought to birth.
I ask myself, “Why am I shocked at this recent disclosure of additional vileness for this organization?” Planned Parenthood has always been nothing more than Margaret Sanger personified and slightly diluted. The fact is that given the organization’s founding basis, its history, and its current policies, we should not be surprised by the commercialization of any aspect of this death factory.
But there is one thing of which I am now curious. It is this. Given the ratio of the numbers between black and white abortion clients, and the designed locations of the clinics, and the apparent emphasis on aborting black babies, I am wondering if this will be reflected in the pricing of the body parts? Given that the supply is what it is… surely a black baby’s heart or liver or lungs should not be as costly as that of a white baby.
