Pastors target Planned Parenthood money

WASHINGTON, June 24 (UPI) -- A group of black pastors say they will be in Washington Thursday to demand candidates reject money from Planned Parenthood, the largest U.S. abortion provider.

The pastors, who will be led by the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., Alveda King, plan to march to the Washington offices of the Republican National Committee and the Democratic National Committee, they said in a news release.

The group said abortion and family planning provider Planned Parenthood planned to pump $10 million into the November election.

The coalition of pastors pointed to a recent video on YouTube showing a Planned Parenthood development director "excited" at the possibility of taking money specifically earmarked to kill black children.

The news release notes the majority of U.S. abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods.
