(Christian Headlines) On Saturday, former Vice President Mike Pence tied the abortion industry to the eugenics movement, asserting that Planned Parenthood “shamelessly builds” on the goals of founder Margaret Sanger by targeting minority communities.
Abortion today, Pence said, is “being used as a tool of eugenics for the elimination of children of the wrong sex or race or those suffering with disability.”
His comments came at the National Pro-Life Summit in Washington, D.C.
“Today, more than two-thirds of all babies with Down syndrome in the United States are killed in their mothers’ womb. This must end,” Pence said, noting that as governor of Indiana, he signed a bill prohibiting women from having an abortion because of the baby’s race, gender or disability.
