Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr. and a conservative activist, spoke at a sparsely attended National Organization for Marriage rally in Atlanta, Ga. this weekend about the scourge of gay marriage.
“It is statistically proven that the strongest institution that guarantees procreation and continuity of the generations is marriage between one man and one woman,” King said.
“I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to be extinct, and none of us wants to be. So we don’t want genocide,” she said. “We don’t want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage.”
She went on: “Marriage between one man and one woman remains the guard against human extinction.”
The NOM rally was, by local reports, sparsely attended. Only 35 or so NOM supporters showed up, and they were outnumbered by 300 counter-demonstrators.
King has also organized an anti-abortion bus tour that borrows from the imagery of the civil rights movement her uncle led. It’s called the “Pro-Life Freedom Ride” and ties abortion to civil rights.
“Yet another precious class of human beings is now suffering discrimination due to their age and place of residence. They are temporarily housed in the wombs of their mothers and the threat to them is abortion,” she said about the bus tour.
