'Read Our Lips Harry Reid, Defund Planned Parenthood Now'

'Read Our Lips Harry Reid, Defund Planned Parenthood Now' -- Day Gardner, National Black Pro-Life Union Says

WASHINGTON, March 21, 2011 /Christian Newswire/ -- Yesterday, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid told reporters that defunding Planned Parenthood in the Continuing Resolution "won't be part of an agreement."

Day Gardner, President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, releases the following and is available for comment:

Okay, the gloves must come off.

We are all sick and tired of liberal members of Congress who continue to ignore the American people by insisting that we fund a baby killing organization with our hard earned tax dollars.

Parenthood is an organization that was founded to limit the growth of the population by sterilizing women and killing children, especially black children as in the Negro Project, initiated by Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger in 1939.

Margaret Sanger's diabolical plan continues today as Planned Parenthood aggressively sells abortion largely to poor and minority neighborhoods--hoodwinking them into believing that abortion is the only answer to unplanned or unwanted pregnancies. Sanger played on and counted on our ignorance in 1939--but we are not ignorant any more.

With 3D and 4D ultrasounds and modern technology, we can see that unborn babies are not unidentifiable blobs of tissue as Planned Parenthood once told us. We see the humanity of the unborn child as fellow Americans deserving of life and the rights we all enjoy--human and civil rights.

We have discovered the truth--the horrors of abortion--in the bloody trash cans behind abortion facilities, in online abortion videos and in the photographs of dismembered babies. We have discovered the devastation of abortion in our black communities through statistics provided by the Center for Disease Control and Planned Parenthood's very own research arm, the Guttmacher Institute.

We have seen the killing fields--and we are determined to end the killing.

We stand steadfastly with Rep. Mike Pence and other pro-life heroes, Republicans and Democrats, insisting that Planned Parenthood be defunded in the next Continuing Resolution bill.

Listen up Mr. Reid, we do NOT want our tax dollars funding the abortion industry. We will not back down or cave in and there is no middle ground.

Day Gardner is President of the National Black Pro-Life Union, an organization founded to serve as a clearing house to coordinate the flow of communications among all African American pro-life organizations and individuals in order to better network and combine resources.
