<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Planned Parenthood is firing back after Kanye West made controversial claims about the organization in his recent <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/kanye-west-talks-about-his-presidential-campaign-no-longer-supporting-trump-recovering-from-covid-19-more/">Forbes interview.</a></span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">While discussing his views on abortion, Kanye said “Planned Parenthoods have been placed inside cities by white supremacists to do the Devil’s work.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Nia Martin-Robinson, the director of Black Leadership and Engagement at PP’s national headquarters, told <a href="https://www.tmz.com/2020/07/08/kanye-west-planned-parenthood-comments-response-black-women/">TMZ</a>, “Black women are free to make our own decisions about our bodies and pregnancies, and want and deserve to have access to the best medical care available.”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Martin-Robinson added, &#8220;Any insinuation that abortion is Black genocide is offensive and infantilizing. The real threat to Black communities&#8217; safety, health, and lives stems from lack of access to quality, affordable health care, police violence and the criminalization of reproductive health care by anti-abortion opposition.&#8221;</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">This isn’t the first time Ye has voiced his opinions about similar issues.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">In late 2019, Kanye discussed his decision to abandon the Democratic party with Los Angeles radio personality Big Boy.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kanye accused the Dems of brainwashing Black people to do unholy things like Plan B birth control and encouraging the abortion of babies.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Interestingly enough, it isn’t immediately clear how Kanye’s ideas fare at home considering wife Kim Kardashian has been a public supporter of Planned Parenthood.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Kim hasn’t taken any public stances in regard to Kanye’s latest comments.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Although Kanye didn’t respond to Planned Parenthood directly, he posted a tweet Wednesday evening that had a picture of a child in the womb at six months with the caption, “These souls deserve to live.”</span></p>
