It's a legal procedure, and women, including minority women, have availed themselves of it.

Didn't say otherwise.

But, the fact is that the founder of what became Planned Parenthood was a proponent of eugenics. And, African-Americans are aborted at a rate that is much higher than whites.

So, mock the idea if you'd like. And, maybe in 2015 no plot exists. But the goals set forth in the 1920s have been realized.

Google Margaret Sanger.

I'm guessing she'd be pretty pleased with herself:

In 2010, the most recent year for which statistics are available, 138,539 black babies were aborted.

Thankfully, abortion is on the decline in America, down 3 percent between 2007 and 2010, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Strikingly, the number of surgical abortion clinics has plummeted, from 2,176 in 1991 to 551 today. Nevertheless, the CDC report that in 2010, a staggering 765,651 abortions were performed in the United States. Black women continue to have the highest abortion rate of any ethnic group, with a gruesome 483 abortions for every 1,000 live births.

The bottom line? I’ll say it again: 138,539 black babies, nearly one baby in three, were killed in the womb in 2010. According to the CDC, between 2007 and 2010, innocent black babies were victimized in nearly 36 percent of the abortion deaths in the United States, though blacks represent only 12.8 percent of the population.

J. KENNETH BLACKWELL: Black abortions a crisis in America - Washington Times

According to the CDC, there were 636,425 black children born in 2010. If there were 138,539 abortions of black fetuses in that year, that means there were 774,964 pregnancies that ended in either a live birth or abortion (this figure excludes stillbirths, miscarriages or tubal pregnancies, as I could not find appropriate data on these events). This means that, at most, approximately one in six (17 percent) pregnancies among black women ended in abortion (which again, does not account for other birth outcomes), nowhere close to the one in three Blackwell states.

YF, this guy was a huge supporter of the Birth Control Federation of America, the predecessor of Planned Parenthood . I never considered him a proponent of eugenics -- just someone who understood the need for family planning and birth control. Nor did I think that of his son, who had the nickname "Rubbers" when he served in Congress. But if you think Planned Parenthood is some big plot to wipe out African Americans, I guess I'll have to reconsider.
