Niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., Dr. Alveda King was "delighted" to learn President Donald Trump's administration is preventing Planned Parenthood from using a $236 million federal family planning program.
King was interviewed by SiriusXM's Breitbart News Tonight on Saturday. "I was absolutely delighted because now the regulations are being addressed and we are really seeing clearly where some of the money that Planned Parenthood gets from our tax dollars comes from," King said.

Some of that money does come out of Title X," she continued. "So you have several million women who are served by organizations that are funded through Title X, Planned Parenthood getting a lion’s share of that," King added. "So what we in the pro-life movement have been saying for a long time — especially in the African-American community — we said, ‘Okay, they don’t use their Title X money specifically to do abortions, but they pay for many of the other things that they’re doing, and that leaves some of their other funding streams available to do the abortions,'" she said.
