Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life, Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., spoke out recently on the use of her uncle's image by the Planned Parenthood organization and his words on its website.
Dr. King talked about Planned Parenthood's way of deception, citing her own experience when a Planned Parenthood doctor who told her that her baby was just a "blob of tissue."
"Planned Parenthood is no stranger to deception. I know firsthand because prior to my abortion, a Planned Parenthood doctor told me that my baby was just a 'blob of tissue,'" said Dr. King. "Now, Planned Parenthood lies by trying to imply that my uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., would somehow endorse the organization today. He most certainly would not."
"Uncle Martin accepted an award from Planned Parenthood in 1966 when abortion was illegal in every state and before Planned Parenthood started publicly advocating for it," continued Dr. King. "In Planned Parenthood's own citation for Uncle Martin's prize, not only is no mention of abortion made, it states that 'human life and progress are indeed indivisible.' In 1966, neither the general public nor my uncle was aware of the true agenda of Planned Parenthood, an agenda of death that has become painfully obvious as the years have unfolded."
"Planned Parenthood must stop using and lying to my family and the entire community of humanity," she said.
Dr. Alveda C. King founded King for America, Inc. "to assist people in enriching their lives spiritually, personally, mentally and economically."
