Kanye West has posted and deleted a pro-life tweet saying calling six-month fetuses ‘souls’ that ‘deserve to live’.
The controversial rapper’s pro-life stance comes as he and Planned Parenthood have engaged in a fierce back-and-forth after he claimed it was an organization run by ‘white supremacists to do the Devil’s work’.
Kanye, 43, shared a screenshot of a Google search, asking: ‘What does a 6 month fetus look like?’
Included in the grab was a brief WebMd excerpt detailing the growth and development during the second trimester.
‘These souls deserve to live,’ the former-Trump fan declared in his tweet.
While the tweet has since been deleted, many have shared screengrabs of the post and have voiced their annoyance at Kanye’s declaration.
Kanye made inflammatory remarks about Planned Parenthood in a controversial interview with Forbes Magazine, where he also states that he is ‘pro-life/ because he’s ‘following the word of the bible.’
Nia Martin-Robinson, who is Director of Black Leadership and Engagement at Planned Parenthood, rebuked the star, calling his claims ‘offensive’ and ‘infantilizing’ in a statement obtained by DailyMail.com.
‘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. Any insinuation that abortion is Black genocide is offensive and infantilizing,’ Nia’s statement began.
‘The real threat to Black communities’ 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.”
Nia added, ‘At Planned Parenthood, we trust and we stand with Black women who have, and continue to lead the charge when it comes to the health, rights, and bodily autonomy of those in their communities.’
