Abortion foes raise race issue: Brochure handed out near Rocklin High likens treatment of blacks to Klan era. (Laurel Rosen, November 26, 2004, Sacramento Bee)

Taking their message as close to school campuses as they are legally allowed, local abortion opponents have been distributing information to
students that compares abortion with racial lynchings by the Ku Klux Klan.
About 15 members of a group called Teens for Life appeared late last week
outside Rocklin High School and, as students entered campus, distributed
brochures depicting a pointed white hood with the statement: "Lynching Is
for Amateurs." [...]

Planned Parenthood officials countered, saying the goal of their
organization is to provide health care in areas where it is needed most.

"There is a high correlation between the women's reproductive rights
movement and the civil rights movement," said Kathy Kneer, president of
Planned Parenthood Affiliates of California. "Both were founded on the core
basis of human rights and justice."

It's not necessary to believe that abortion has served genocidal purposes in order to recognize the simple truth that Planned Parenthood was founded not to advance civil rights but as part of the eugenics movement.
