Planned Parenthood's legacy: Gendercide, racism

The real feminists are the ones who Marched for Life. And I marvel at how the abortion industry has succeeded in duping so many women into thinking otherwise. Only with a blindness to history and a narrow-minded vision of humanity's future can anyone see abortion as an empowerment of women. In fact, behind the walls of professional office buildings and clinics around the world, abortion accomplishes an ethnic, racial and gender purging of such efficiency and scale as to make Adolf Hitler appear inconsequential.

Every law student learns that in determining whether a certain policy or practice constitutes unlawful discrimination, courts will look to whether the policy has what is known as a "disparate impact." That is, if a policy is neutral on its face but has the effect of handicapping a certain subset of people, it will usually be deemed discriminatory.

So consider this: In the United States alone, the most recent data indicate that over 60 percent of abortions are obtained by black, Hispanic and other women of color, despite the fact that they only account for 28 percent of the population.

As if those statistics were not disturbing enough to a nation that celebrates diversity, consider this international statistic for its "disparate impact." The combination of abortion policies with the availability of gender-identifying ultrasound technology has claimed the lives of a staggering 163 million girls in Asia alone, triggering a staggering gender imbalance that has demographers wringing their hands. (It turns out that a nation overrun by males is a very bad thing, for many reasons).

If any person today were to openly posit a plan to systematically annihilate non-whites and females, imagine how he would be received in our enlightened, civilized society. But as long as the same results are achieved by means of the "choice" of members of the affected populations, we close our eyes to the implications for humanity and celebrate the individual's ability to "choose."

In doing so, we actually become pawns in a nefarious scheme – because the ugly truth about abortion is that it isn't simply a case of disparate impact on females and people of color; these results are actually the fruits of careful planning and propaganda by powerful elitists who sought to mold the human population to their liking.

The organization that is today Planned Parenthood gave birth to its deadly "Negro Project" in the 1930s, hoping to stunt the growth of black families. No wonder that today, a whopping 79 percent of Planned Parenthood abortion clinics are located within a 2-mile radius of a neighborhood that is primarily black or Hispanic.

And the promotion of abortion as a demographic-changing technique did not stop at our own borders. In her stunning book, "Unnatural Selection," journalist Mara Hvistendahl explains how American population activists took their show on the road, ultimately selling Asian nations on the concept of "population control." According to Hvistendahl, their outward message was simple: Lower birth rates mean a richer country – but privately they worried that higher birth rates made these regions more susceptible to communism and less likely to become American allies.

Decades later, we can see that these wealthy, Western organizations succeeded in selling developing nations on their "less is better" pitch. Baby girls were the casualties.

It is a highest-order irony that women who tout the values of diversity, equality and liberation have aligned themselves with – and will vehemently defend – an industry that is the ultimate machinery of racism, sexism, social manipulation and subjugation.

C.S. Lewis saw through the game of "choice" long ago, when he warned the world that "[T]he power of Man to make himself what he pleases means, as we have seen, the power of some men to make other men what they please. … [T]he man-molders of the new age will be armed with the powers of an omnicompetent state and an irresistible scientific technique: we shall get at last a race of conditioners who really can cut out all posterity in what shape they please."

Every abortion is equally tragic, whether its victim is white or black, male or female, because every life matters. But as a society, we are willfully blind if we fail to see that there is no racial, ethnic or gender equality in the practice of abortion. In millions upon millions of pregnant tummies – thinly veiled by a layer of flesh – the beautiful, natural diversity of mankind is being destroyed, one "choice" at a time.

And this was always part of a plan.
