(ChurchLeaders) The recent attempt from Planned Parenthood’s president and CEO, Alexis McGill Johnson, to distance the organization from its racist founder is essentially meaningless, says former NFL player Benjamin Watson.
“It is time for Planned Parenthood to take the next step, or their denunciation of Margaret Sanger rings hollow,” said Watson, who is vice president of Human Coalition, a non-profit dedicated to ending abortion in the United States. Human Coalition is affiliated with Human Coalition Action, a public policy advocacy organization.
“Whether [Planned Parenthood’s leaders] personally identify with Sanger’s ideology or not,” said Watson, “they continue to carry out her mission, by serving as the leading executioner of our children. The same Sanger they claim to disavow would applaud their efforts and results, as a disproportionate percentage of Black children have been killed in Planned Parenthood’s abortion clinics.”
