In the summer of 2009, Life Dynamics released the documentary film, Maafa 21.

Its basic contention is that terms like “population control” and “family planning” are code words for a genocidal effort aimed at minorities – primarily African-Americans.

Among the many revelations documented in this film is that, as far back as the mid 1900s, some wellknown eugenicists were arguing that the most effective way they could advance their agenda would be to concentrate population control facilities within the targeted communities.

Historically, the population control movement’s eugenic efforts have been primarily focused on the African-American community and that was the underlying theme of Maafa21.

However, Life Dynamics has also found unmistakable evidence that the family planning establishment is also ratcheting up its efforts to deal with the Hispanic population.

You can see that clearly in Life Dynamics’ report, Racial Targeting and Population Control available here.

“Hispanic women are being lulled to their cultural extinction by following the ‘Abortion Pied Piper’ in New Mexico to the demise of their progeny. Unfortunately, pro-abortion groups in the state are doing a better job of marketing death to these women than they are in actually helping women through their pregnancies,” stated New Mexico pro-life activist Bud Shaver.
