How radical of a liberal do you have to be for Planned Parenthood to drop their affiliation with you?
Women’s March co-chair Tamika Mallory has been dropped from being the keynote speaker by the nation’s leading abortion provider at an upcoming Planned Parenthood luncheon in Seattle on April 5th. Mallory has received backlash for attending the 2018 Saviours’ Day event put on by the Nation of Islam (NOI) in which NOI leader Louis Farrakhan delivered a particularly racist speech.
In the speech, Farrakhan told the crowd that “the powerful Jews are my enemy” and that “white folks are going down.”
Kind of gives you the warm fuzzies inside, doesn’t it? Farrakhan’s such a sweetheart. (That’s sarcasm for those of you playing the home game.)
According to the Washington Examiner, Vice President of Development for Planned Parenthood Erica Croxton said in an email that “Planned Parenthood rejects all bigotry of those whose intentions are to ‘undo the progress of the last half century.’”
While I have no problem with an organization distancing themselves from anyone found to have support for Farrakhan — who might as well be called the leader of the black KKK — it’s funny that Planned Parenthood, whose stock and trade is in infanticide, would find someone who they typically agree with offensive.
Planned Parenthood is offensive just by existing, but you don’t see anyone on the Left campaigning against them for murdering babies.
As for Mallory, she responded to criticism of her Saviours’ Day attendance in her own special way:
I didn’t expect my presence at Saviour’s Day to lead anyone to question my beliefs, especially considering that I have been going to this event regularly for over 30 years. I first went with my parents when I was just a little girl, and would begin attending on my own after my son’s father was murdered nearly 17 years ago. In that most difficult period of my life, it was the women of the Nation of Islam who supported me and I have always held them close to my heart for that reason.
Mallory is almost 36 years of age, so her activist parents began taking her to these radical events at the age of five! As a result of being engrossed in activism from such a young age, Mallory eventually became the National Action Network’s (NAN) national executive director in 2011, working alongside her mentor, race-hustler Al Sharpton. Mallory's parents were two of the inaugural members of NAN. Great parenting!
These are your Women’s March leaders, folks. We have Mallory who supports the ultra-radical NOI, and Linda Sarsour is a proponent of Sharia Law.
Maybe women should take a look at who is in charge of a “movement” before putting on blindfolds and marching with them.
