Dr. Alveda King, niece of civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr., has disgraced her uncle’s name. During an interview with Fox’s Martha MacCallum, King expressed her disdain toward the attitude over the shooting of Trayvon Martin. She stressed that Martin’s family is grieving, and that the anger toward Zimmerman is riling Americans up. She has even gone so far as to say that Reverends Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson should stop “playing the race card.” And during her interview, she refers to Martin’s death as “a late abortion.”

And in the midst of their grieving, they don’t need a lot of anger and fear surrounding that. And certainly Trayvon Martin, a young man cut down in his prime – I would say because of my ministry ‘aborted late,’ a late abortion – now his dreams are dead.

She even goes on to equate women who abort with murderers when, interestingly enough, she’s terminated two pregnancies of her own.

And so we must answer this – not violently, not with rage, and not with anger and not by playing the race card – but like Mother Teresa said, ‘If you can abort a baby, you can kill anyone.’

Of course, this isn’t the first time King has drawn negative attention to herself. She has consistently defended her anti-abortion stances with outrageous claims including the statement that the late Rosa Parks was a symbol for the pro-life movement, despite the fact that she was on the Board of Advocates for Planned Parenthood. And she actually has a book titled How Can the Dream Survive If We Murder the Children?: ABORTION IS NOT A CIVIL RIGHT!

King has also come under fire for attacking the gay rights movement, saying, “The civil rights movement was born from the Bible. God hates homosexuality.” She even went so far as to compare gay marriage to genocide. Not one to avoid the spotlight, King spoke at Glenn Beck’s controversial “Restoring Honor” rally in 2010, claiming “Uncle Martin” would have been a supporter as well.

Another article saying the same thing but with less bias.

On Thursday, Dr. Alveda King, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece and director of African American outreach for the pro-life group Priests for Life, appeared on Fox News Channel’s America’s Newsroom with Martha MacCallum where she called the recently slain Trayvon Martin a “late abortion.”

King was reacting to a clip of MSNBC host Rev. Al Sharpton at a recent rally for Martin where he called for the immediate arrest of alleged shooter George Zimmerman. “Lock him up,” demanded Sharpton.

King, a conservative and pro-life activist, took issue with the tone of Sharpton’s rally. “I’m asking that we remember that Trayvon Martin’s family is grieving right now. And in the midst of their grieving, they don’t need a lot of anger and fear surrounding that. Certainly, Trayvon Martin – a young man cut down in his prime – I would say because of my ministry ‘aborted late.’ A late abortion.”

“America’s youth are now an endangered species,” said King. “And so we must answer this non-violently. Not with rage and not with anger. Not by playing the race card.”

“If my uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King were here today, or my dad, Dr. A.D. King, they would ask us to seek justice but to temper that with mercy,” said King. “I’m asking Rev. [Jesse] Jackson, Rev. Sharpton to remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. To remember non-violence.”

It's like that old saying. When you point your finger at someone else, you have three more pointing back at you. She should not be using the Trayvon Martin story as an excuse to advocate her personal beliefs on abortion. They are two totally different issues. If Jackson and Sharpton are playing the "race card" she's sure as hell playing the abortion card. I'd also wish she would stop speaking for her uncle. She was 4 years old during the Montgomery bus boycott, she was 14 years old when he marched in Selma. If anybody would know how Dr. King would feel on certain issues it would be people like Andy Young, Dorothy Cotton and Joseph Lowery. Alveda King is just as bad as Sharpton and Jackson, she's just on the other side of the aisle.

BTW when did Sharpton or Jackson advocate violence towards Zimmerman? All I've heard them say is he should be arrested. What is she talking about?

Thank you KevinB for that transparent and wonderful reply. I, as a white American, am PROUD to stand arm and arm with you in this fight against color. I'm so fed up with it. Its done nothing but cause continued separation between us brothers and sisters of America. Enough is enough!!

Best reponse in my eyes. Was this a racial issue? Maybe, Do we need to pour fuel on the fire? No. Unfortunatly there will always be racism from all angles, But everytime we allow a tradgety like this to fuel rasism we create more. Be mad at the person not the race.

Easier said than done. The only person from either family I've seen play "the race card" was Zimmerman's father in his interview. The only reason this is even a national story is because of race and we all know that. If both men were of the same race this thread wouldn't even be right here and nobody outside of that area of Florida would be talking about it.

This story needs to stop playing out in the court of public opinion and start playing out in a court of law.

I just re-read through my post and what a horribly written post. Jeesh!! Gotta stop posting from my tablet. I hate the touch screen.

I looked at some of the other articles on that website and I could feel my blood starting to boil from the headlines alone. So I wondered "where is all this bullshit coming from?" So I looked up The Daily Caller and who do I find out is the website's founder? None other than the often fired Tucker Carlson. The biggest prick in the world. No wonder Trayvon's tweets (along with photos of him flipping the bird) are a top featured story on that website. Talk about somebody playing the race card . Ain't that a bitch.
