Planned Parenthood Exploits Martin Luther King to Promote Abortion, Attacks Alveda King

“Dr. King would never have agreed with the violent violation of the civil rights of the millions of aborted babies..."

Yesterday, America celebrated a federal holiday in honour of Martin Luther King Jr, the famous civil rights activist. While most people used the day to celebrate his legacy of nonviolent activism against racial discrimination, Planned Parenthood decided to co-opt him to promote abortion.

The Planned Parenthood Action twitter account, the activist arm of America’s largest abortion provider, posted a number of times about Martin Luther King Jr day, but the most noticeable was when it claimed that the “fight for racial justice, economic equity, & reproductive freedom are undeniably intertwined.”

Martin Luther King Jr’s niece, the pro-life activist Dr Alveda King, was quick to slam Planned Parenthood for using her uncle’s legacy to promote abortion. “To dishonor a prophet by raising a political banner which supports killing innocent babies on MLK’s birthday is so inhuman,” she said. “To dishonor a prophet by raising a political banner on his birthday is so inhumane.”

“20th century skin color race card inflammation will not solve crimes against humanity; including abortion, human trafficking, modern slavery, oppression,” she went on. “MLK did not serve politics. He didn’t serve government. He served God. We are not color blind; we are one human race; one blood, created in living color.”

Abortion leading cause of deaths for African-Americans

Many have pointed out the awful irony of Planned Parenthood using a civil rights leader to promote abortion, when they are responsible for the deaths of so many black babies. Abortion is the leading cause of death among African-Americans, and their community is affected by abortion more than any other minority – black people make up 13% of the US population, but endure 35% of abortions.

For example, in New York City, a black baby is more likely to be aborted than to be born. According to a city Health Department report released in May, between 2012 and 2016, black mothers in New York terminated 136,426 pregnancies and gave birth to 118,127 babies. By contrast, births far surpassed abortions among whites, Asians and Hispanics.

Black pro-life organizations point out that the majority of Planned Parenthood clinics are located in minority neighbourhoods. Planned Parenthood also has a long history of being associated with racism, going back to its founder, Margaret Sanger.

Actor Nick Loeb Now Shooting New Roe v. Wade Movie: The Story of What Really Happened

...given the pro-abortion political bent in Hollywood, the production team has faced more than its share of hostility, and some people have walked off the set

Filming of the new movie “Roe v. Wade” is under way this summer.

The movie, which will tell the true story of the lies and manipulations used to push legalized abortion in America, is a project of actor/producer Nick Loeb and Cathy Allyn.

Loeb told the Hollywood Reporter they began shooting June 15 in and around New Orleans, including at Tulane University, as well as in Washington, D.C.

“… no one has really told the whole truth about Roe v. Wade in a film,” Loeb said. “When I delved into this, I discovered conspiracy theories, fake news, made-up statistics and a whole lot of people involved who switched their positions from pro-choice to pro-life, including Norma [McCorvey, the “Jane Roe” of Roe v. Wade].”

The film stars Academy Award-winning actor Jon Voight, Robert Davi and Stacey Dash, as well as Greer Grammer, the daughter of pro-life actor Kelsey Grammer. Alveda King, the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., also is an executive producer and has a cameo in the film.

Perhaps unsurprisingly, given the pro-abortion political bent in Hollywood, the production team has faced more than its share of hostility, and some people have walked off the set.

According to the report:

As Nick Loeb walked to his car with a production assistant during a day of shooting his upcoming feature film, Roe v. Wade, outside Tulane University last week, a woman wearing a headset approached and asked: “Are you the director?”

“When I told her I was, she told me to go f— myself,” Loeb recalls. “Then she threw her headset on the ground and walked off. I found out later she was our electrician.”

Anecdotes such as this have become fairly common since Loeb and his production partner, Cathy Allyn, began shooting their pro-life feature film June 15 in and around New Orleans.

But the actor told LifeNews things are moving forward.
“The actors and crew have been top notch with tremendous experience. I am so proud of how hard they are all working despite all the obstacles,” Loeb told LifeNews.

Earlier this year, Loeb said Facebook also censored their efforts to spread the word about the film.

“Hollywood only wants you to hear their version of the story – in fact, there are 3 movies currently in development that take a pro-abortion stance,” the film producers said. “But you shouldn’t be surprised. Hollywood has always had an agenda to influence Americans to accept abortion, even if they have to re-write history to do it.”

Loeb told the news outlet that they are negotiating a distribution deal, and they hope to release the film in January.

The film will follow key advocates in the abortion fight in the 1970s, including former abortionist Dr. Bernard Nathanson and Betty Friedan on the pro-abortion side and Dr. Mildred Jefferson, the first African American woman to graduate from Harvard Medical School, on the pro-life side.

“Bernard and Betty, along with the team at Planned Parenthood, search the country to find a pregnant girl they can use to sue the government for her right to have an abortion,” according to a description on the film website.

They find the “perfect pawn” in Norma McCorvey, the Jane Roe of Roe v. Wade. McCorvey later became pro-life and fought to overturn the infamous ruling that bears her name. She and others attested to her being mistreated and used by abortion activists to achieve their deadly agenda.

The film will examine the lies and manipulative tactics of abortion activists, people like McCorvey and Nathanson who later had a change of heart, and dedicated pro-life advocates like Jefferson who fought valiantly to defend the right to life for babies in the womb.

The film also will address the racism intertwined in the abortion industry through Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and others, and Jefferson’s fight for unborn babies as well as people of color.

EVANGELIST ALVEDA KING: REMEMBERING OUR FATHERS ON FATHER'S DAY!

As we celebrate Fathers' Day let's remember the important role all fathers play in the family and pray that all fathers will take their responsibilities seriously and help make the world a better place for everyone.

By Dr. Alveda King, Priests for Life

Breaking Christian News

[Alveda King's Blog] Fathers' Day is Sunday and I miss my Dad Rev. AD King who taught me to love everyone. When my uncle Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr. was assassinated, in error, I tried to blame white people. Daddy said "No. we are all one race/one blood human beings. White people didn't kill your uncle, the devil did." (Photos via Alveda King's Blog)

Daddy was such a great father and a great family leader. I only wish I had gotten to spend more time with him. But I rejoice in the faith that he is resting in peace with our Heavenly Father.

Fathers' Day also causes me to reflect on Joseph, the foster father of Jesus and husband of Mary. When faced with a new spouse, who was unexpectedly pregnant, unlike many fathers of today, Joseph embraced his new role of fatherhood and stepped up to the plate to take care of his family. He did not walk away from his responsibility, or worse, try to kill Jesus in Mary's womb; unlike occurrences in our society today.

I'm blessed to know some other remarkable men who as role models are working to share the knowledge of what they have learned with other men around the country and the world.

One such person is Bishop Harry Jackson of The Hope Connection. He works helping men who have been in prison to re-integrate into the family and society. He understands the importance of the family and the role a father plays to give them a better chance in life. He has mounted a Fathers' Day campaign to do just that. Please pray and fast with him beginning on June 17.

Kevin Burke is also working to improve the lives of fathers through the healing after abortion ministry, Rachel's Vineyard and the Silent No More's the Shockwaves of Abortion campaign which focuses on a different group each month with June being focused on healing fathers.

On the heels of Fathers' Day we celebrate Juneteenth, a holiday in the United States that commemorates the announcement of the abolition of slavery in Texas on June 19, 1865, and more generally the emancipation of African-American slaves throughout the Confederate South. 

In celebration of Juneteenth we're continuing to cry out for justice for all Americans, born and unborn. Towards that goal, we ask you to join the movement by signing on to an open letter to Congressional members encouraging them to support The Prison Reform and Redemption Act (H.R. 3356).

As we celebrate Fathers' Day let's remember the important role all fathers play in the family and pray that all fathers will take their responsibilities seriously and help make the world a better place for everyone.

For those who are like me and your fathers have passed away, be encouraged. Our Father God still cares. And let's pray for all fathers everywhere from the White House, to the court house, to the battlefield, to the jail house, to God's house.

Alveda King Regrets Her Abortion: “They Said It’s a Blob of Tissue and I Was Young and Foolish”

By Micaiah Bilger
Life News

Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., continues her family legacy as a prominent human rights advocate.

A leader in the pro-life movement, King speaks across the globe about how abortion destroys lives and families. She knows from first-hand experience. King herself aborted two of her unborn baby when she was young.

The Pilot of North Carolina reports King shared her story Thursday at a banquet to benefit the Life Care Pregnancy Center in Carthage, North Carolina.

“Many of you may have read or heard that Alveda King is post-abortive,” King told the crowd. “In the 1960s and 70s, there was still a little game that the world was playing. They said that we don’t know when life begins, it’s a blob of tissue. I kind of believed that; I was young and foolish.”

King is not the only one who has been deceived by the abortion industry. Many women are deceived into believing that their unborn babies are not alive or important. Sometimes, they are told that they are just clumps of tissue or blobs of cells; but the truth is that from the moment of conception, unborn babies already are unique, living human beings. And by six weeks of pregnancy, their hearts already are beating.

King said her famous uncle was “very, very pro-life” and her grandfather was, too. Previously, King described how her grandfather encouraged her mother to choose life for her unborn baby – Alveda herself.

King encouraged people to support pregnancy centers like Life Care because they provide the help that women and babies so desperately need.

“The pregnancy care centers offer some wonderful alternatives,” she said. “By supporting a pregnancy care center, you actually support a lot of the entire (pro-life) movement.”

At a previous talk, she added: 

“I speak to women all the time that are seeking abortion. …Many times the answer will not be an abortion they are seeking — but just help, love and support and that’s the job of a pregnancy care center.”

Today, King is a mother of six and grandmother of six. As a Christian pro-life leader, she works with Priests for Life and the Silent No More Awareness Campaign to protect unborn babies and their moms from abortion and helps women like herself to heal from abortions in their past.

Niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.: ‘We need to make abortions unthinkable’

By Danny David
Live Action News

On Monday, pro-life activist and niece of Martin Luther King Jr., Alveda King, spoke before a large crowd at Colorado State University’s Lory Student Center in Fort Collins, Colorado. The event was hosted by Students for Life.
During the presentation, King revealed that before she was born, her own parents were told to abort her. The Rocky Mountain Collegian reports:

Alveda King said that Planned Parenthood told her parents to consider an abortion following her conception. Her father disagreed, and MLK Sr. claimed that he had seen the unborn child in a dream years prior, and described King to her parents. “That’s my granddaughter!” King Sr. had said, according to Alveda King.

King also claimed that, at the time, Planned Parenthood was actively pushing “population control” – including sterilization – on the Black community. In the 1960s, while King was marching for civil rights, Planned Parenthood was trying to restrain the Black population (despite claiming to help), says King.

Despite her history as a strong voice for the oppressed, including preborn lives, King was not always pro-life. At one point, King says she was “radical pro-choice,” and had two abortions herself, which she claims damaged her body. Eventually, she became pro-life, and she believes her uncle, Martin Luther King Jr., would join her in standing for the value of life.

“Abortion is not health care,” King said Monday. “A woman has a right to her body, but that is not her body. What about the baby?”
