New Research Tarnishes Planned Parenthood’s 96th Anniversary
(Life Issues Institute, 10/16/12)
As Planned Parenthood marks its 96th anniversary today, it received an unwelcome gift from pro-lifers. New research released by Protecting Black Life (an outreach of Life Issues Institute) reveals that 79% of Planned Parenthood’s surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance of African American and/or Hispanic/Latino communities.
The blow to Planned Parenthood is that this research is not just numbers; it is a powerful visual. Maps are illustrated in full color on a website portal integrated with Google Maps functionality. This interactive site gives viewers an up close and personal look at just how close these facilities are to their neighborhoods.
The claim that Planned Parenthood is targeting minorities is not new. However, the strength of this study is. The validity of the research is substantiated as it uses verifiable statistics from 2010 Census Data tracts. ivermectin fda guidance Census tracts are a means for measuring demographic data about a geographic area, designed to reflect homogeneous characteristics like race, income level and home values. It focuses only on Planned Parenthood surgical abortion facilities within walking distance of minority neighborhoods, rather than looking at a larger geographical area, such as zip code.
Rev. Arnold Culbreath, Director of Protecting Black Life and a founding member of the National Black Pro-Life Coalition, says, “Minority communities are the #1 targets of Planned Parenthood. It’s no wonder abortion remains the leading cause of death among African Americans, higher than all other causes combined. Getting this information to as many people as possible is not only critical, it’s a matter of life and death for countless babies and oft times even their mothers.”
Bradley Mattes, Executive Director of Life Issues Institute, added, “This solid evidence is overwhelmingly convincing that Planned Parenthood’s business model is to generate income from an increased number of abortions in minority neighborhoods.”
