Baltimore Ravens tight end Benjamin Watson is not shy when it comes to speaking out about his Christian faith.
The football star and self-proclaimed born again Christian has long been known for preaching the Gospel and taking a stand in circumstances of violence or injustice, such as race, and the right to life.
Last week, the husband and father of five spoke openly about a heated topic in America today: Planned Parenthood. But more specifically, the racism that is found in abortion.
Margaret Sanger, founder of the abortion giant, launched Planned Parenthood with a goal of eliminating the “less than.”
One group of people she considered members of this category are African Americans.
“We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” Sanger infamously wrote.
She founded the “Negro Project,” in which she hired black preachers to convince their congregations to take birth control or get sterilized. Sanger wrote at one point that all citizens should be required to obtain a “birth permit” from the government before giving birth.
Watson took his knowledge of Sanger’s mission and called out the African American community for actively being a part of her racism.
