Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
A documentary called The 1916 Project exposes the history of the real Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood, and “the hidden history of the secular moral revolution, and the architects of our current culture of death.”
Sanger opened the first birth control clinic in the U.S. in 1916, a forerunner to Planned Parenthood, ushering in a culture of death and killing millions of unborn babies.
Since the U.S. Supreme Court overturned Roe v. Wade, the abortion mill began supplementing its business with “gender care,” but that’s another topic for another day.
Seth Gruber, the son of a pregnancy resource center director, created The 1916 Project.
Featured in the documentary are two black pastors, Pastor John Amanchukwu and Bishop Patrick L. Wooden Sr., of the Upper Room Church of God in Christ in North Carolina. Live Action News quoted what these pastors said in the documentary.
In the documentary, Bishop Wooden decried the fact that few pastors will speak about abortion, noting, “[M]any preachers today are more Democrat than they are Gospel preacher when it comes to things like preaching against abortion, the slaughter of the unborn.” He then said, bluntly, “Nothing is more racist in America than the abortion industry.”
Amanchukwu echoed these sentiments, saying that many preachers have become “parrots” for Planned Parenthood. He recounted a situation in which he was once approached by a Black man outside an abortion facility, asking why he was “fighting a white man’s issue.”
The majority of people praying outside the facility were white. The majority of women going inside were black.
Black women kill their unborn babies at a higher rate than white women. And leftists vilify black Americans who oppose these killings. Many people have speculated why so many black women kill their unborn children.
The pro-life Ben Watson, a former NFL player, addressed the question in an op-ed for Newsweek.
The unemployment rate for black Americans is higher, for example, and abortion is seen as a cheap way to avoid more mouths to feed.
“None of these disparities absolve anyone of their responsibility when making a decision about whether to pursue an abortion,” Watson wrote. “But they do raise a question: how can we address the circumstances that drive women to choose abortion?”
The 1916 Project began screening this month and will continue in September and October. Watch the first trailer below.
