Herman Cain: Planned Parenthood’s mission is 'planned genocide' of black babies

Using unusually harsh words, a potential presidential candidate ( Herman Cain ) echoed some previous comments: claiming that Planned Parenthood’s original mission was to “help kill black babies before they came into the world.”

In response, the group said that Cain is using "inflammatory and divisive language based on race to achieve extreme political goals" of ending legal abortion.

Cain, an African-American and the first Republican to launch a presidential exploratory committee, made the comments Tuesday during a question-and-answer session at the Heritage Foundation, a conservative think-tank in Washington.
