“Here’s why I support de-funding Planned Parenthood, because you don’t hear a lot of people talking about this, when Margaret Sanger -- check my history -- started Planned Parenthood, the objective was to put these centers in primarily black communities so they could help kill black babies before they came into the world. You don’t see that talked that much about. It’s not Planned Parenthood. No, it’s planned genocide. You can quote me on that.” (Herman Cain, former CEO of Godfather’s Pizza, columnist, author, talk-radio host, and a possible contender for President.)
According to its annual report, Planned Parenthood received $363.2 million in government grants and contracts during its 2008-09 fiscal year, up from $349.6 million in FY 2007-08. According to a fact sheet on its Web site, Planned Parenthood performed 324,008 abortions in calendar year 2008.
The CDC recently reported that in New York City in 2007, there were 87,527 abortions performed, and 43,568 (or 49.8 percent) of the aborted babies were black. The Census Bureau says there are 8,302,659 people in New York City, of whom 2,085,514 -- or 25 percent -- are black. Thus, black babies in New York City were aborted at a rate that is twice the black share of the municipal population. (Fred Lucas, CNS News.)
