But in truth, abortion is devastating the black community. Eighty percent of Planned Parenthood's abortion clinics are within easy walking distance of minority neighborhoods and 60 percent are in minority zip codes. According to Planned Parenthood’s Guttmacher Institute, “In the United States, the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that for white women.”
Alexis McGill Johnson, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood, is the second black woman to head the organization. An activist scholar, she has promised that under her leadership, the organization will be “turning inward and dedicating ourselves to calling out injustice and reckoning with our own institutionalized racism long-term.” Several months ago, I and more than 100 other black leaders signed the Human Coalition’s letter to Johnson. We wrote this letter to alert the woke to Planned Parenthood’s “systemic racism” and the harm its policies are doing to black America. Johnson never responded to us.
Johnson has an opportunity to demonstrate that black lives matter to her at every stage of human life. Last year, one Planned Parenthood facility in Manhattan rightly removed Margaret Sanger's name from its building. But Planned Parenthood is still the face of the systemic racism of abortion and its eradication of the black population. Planned Parenthood’s behavior would be considered genocidal if the perpetrators had not co-opted so many black leaders. Yet many publicly defend Planned Parenthood against allegations of racism—allegations that date back almost 80 years to Sanger (who actually founded America’s first abortion clinic in 1916).
Johnson needs to reckon with the legacy of Sanger, a eugenicist who believed society would be better off without immigrants, blacks, and people with mental disabilities. Just like Planned Parenthood today, Sanger used black Americans to persuade other blacks to support her organization’s hidden agenda. In a widely quoted letter to Dr. Clarence J. Gamble, Sanger wrote, “We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten that idea out if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”
