Priests for Life: Three Headed Monster of Fornication, Homosexuality, Racism the Demon Beast Destroying America
People For the American Way released a report about the latest attacks on Planned Parenthood. The report noted that contraception access isn’t collateral damage in the Right’s attacks on abortion rights, but instead is an intended target.
There is clearly no better way to illustrate this than a graphic that Priests for Life, a Roman Catholic pro-life organization based in Staten Island, shared by way of spokesperson Alveda King. The group’s press release yesterday talked about the latest anti-Planned-Parenthood video.
Priests for Life, which has claimed partial credit for the latest Planned Parenthood smear, explains that the “3 headed monster” of “sexual perversion” (including “homosexuality” and “fornication”), “abortion and unnatural contraception,” and anti-miscegenation laws (which haven’t existed in the U.S. for nearly 50 years) are preventing Americans from fulfilling God’s commandment that they “be fruitful and multiply.”
As she mentions as often as Rudy Giuliani mentions 9/11, Alveda King is a niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., a family connection that she attempts to hold up to lend a patina of moral authority to her work. (The fact that King was a supporter of government-funded family planning programs who once accepted an award from Planned Parenthood goes unnoticed and unmentioned). That may explain why the younger King stretches to equate homosexuality and contraception with racism as heads of the demon-beast that will destroy America.
