The White Supremacist Roots of the Abortion Industry

Aug 8, 2020 by

In an interview published in Forbes Magazine on July 8, rapper, producer, and presidential aspirant Kanye West spoke out against Planned Parenthood and the abortion industry.

West has made waves in recent years for his support of President Trump and his very public conversion to Christianity. While his support for the President has cooled, his love of Christ still appears to be strong. His 2019 album, Jesus is King, topped the charts and included a gospel choir that West used during his own produced church services. Over the Fourth of July weekend, West announced that he was running for President of the United States, and Forbes interviewed him to get his stance on various issues. One of those issues was abortion.

Abortion, West told Forbes in the interview with Randall Lane, is the “Devil’s work.” “I am in service of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ, and I put everything I get on the line to serve God,” West said. “I’m pro-life because I’m following the word of the Bible.” He went on to say, “Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work.” West isn’t wrong.

We have entered a time when the most innocuous statements about race can land one in hot water or even get one “cancelled.” Statues of great Americans—even those who freed the slaves such as Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant—and Catholic saints, including the Blessed Virgin, are being defaced and pulled down. Yet it came as a shock to me that Planned Parenthood has decided to remove the name of their founder, Margaret Sanger, from their flagship abortion center in New York. As a spokesman for Planned Parenthood told The New York Times, “The biggest concern with Margaret Sanger is her public support for the eugenics medical philosophy, which was rooted in racism, ableism and classism.” It is refreshing, albeit strange, to hear Planned Parenthood speak so honestly about their roots.
