The niece of the late Dr. Martin Luther Ling, Jr., Dr. Alveda King, who happens to serve as director of African-American Outreach for the organization Priests for Life, last week called for the Justice Department to include Planned Parenthood in its initiative to investigate racist policies of federal fund recipients (see Christian Newswire via Catholic Online).
“The acting head of the Obama administration’s Civil Rights Division wants to crack down on groups that receive federal money and whose policies have a negative impact on minorities,” said Dr. King.
“I can save her a lot of time. All she has to do is look at the abortion industry and its leading money maker, Planned Parenthood, to find suspicious characters.
“I would say wiping out one-quarter of the African American population qualifies as a negative impact on a minority group.”
She added that if the Obama administration is serious about investigating discrimination, it should start with the organization that targets minority neighborhoods in which to locate its abortion centers. Planned Parenthood, which claims to be a non-profit organization, nevertheless pockets hundreds of millions of dollars annually as well as receiving taxpayer funds.
Dr. King has been a tireless worker in the national effort to defund Planned Parenthood. Priests for Life is the nation’s largest Catholic pro-life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia.
