Just because you regret your abortions, doesn't give you the right to inflict your self imposed guilt on the rest of humanity. And your views on same sex marriages blows
Fox News Just Hired MLK Niece Alveda King, Who Calls Same-Sex Marriage 'Genocide'

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s niece, Alveda King, who actively speaks out against civil rights for LGBT people, is now a Fox News contributor.
“It is statistically proven that the strongest institution that guarantees procreation and continuity of the generations is marriage between one man and one woman. I don’t know about you, but I’m not ready to be extinct and none of us wants to be. We don’t want genocide, we don’t want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage.”
Those words were spoken in the summer of 2010 at a rally against same-sex marriage by Alveda King, the niece of civil rights icons Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and his wife, Coretta Scott King. That event was hosted by the National Organization For Marriage (NOM).
Today, Fox News Chairman and CEO Roger Ailes announced that King has been signed by the cable news network to share her views on social and cultural issues.
"Alveda has brilliantly carried the legacy of the King family to the next generation and has been a source of inspiration for many Americans," Ailes said, according to TV Newser. "Her passion and mission for social change will be a valuable contribution to our network."
Alveda King's views actually vary greatly from the heritage of her civil rights activist family.
Her aunt, the late Coretta Scott King, was a supporter of full civil rights, including marriage, for LGBT people. Mrs. King, who, unlike Alveda also supported women's right to choose, stated that her husband would have had the same beliefs on equality.
By contrast, Alveda King is so virulently anti-gay, that not only does she equate same-sex marriage with genocide, but she claims people who disagree with her views and support marriage equality are going to hell.
Her totalitarian views on marriage and abortion don't apply to her, of course. Alveda King has had several abortions and been married and divorced three times.

Excerpts Wikipedia
Father's death
In 1969, her father, A.D. King, was found dead in the pool at his home after a long bout with alcoholism and depression.[9] The cause of death was listed as an accidental drowning.[10][11][12][13] Grandfather King said in his autobiography, "Alveda had been up the night before, she said, talking with her father and watching a television movie with him. He'd seemed unusually quiet...and not very interested in the film. But he had wanted to stay up and Alveda left him sitting in an easy chair, staring at the TV, when she went off to bed... I had questions about A.D.'s death and I still have them now. He was a good swimmer. Why did he drown? I don't know – I don't know that we will ever know what happened."[14]Abortions
She had two abortions and attempted to get a third one. When she became pregnant, she says her doctor, without the family's knowledge, gave her an abortion.[15] She was divorced soon after that. When she was pregnant in 1973, she went to Planned Parenthood and got a second abortion.[16] Later, she wanted to get a third abortion, but neither the father nor her grandfather would pay for it.[17]Public office
From 1979 to 1981, King represented the 28th District in the Georgia House of Representatives.[20] The district included Fulton County,[21] and King served as a Democrat.[19] In 1984, King ran for the seat of Georgia's 5th congressional district in the United States House of Representatives and supported the Rev. Jesse Jackson for president.[22] The 5th Congressional seat, at the time of King's campaign was held by Wyche Fowler. Andrew Young, who held the seat prior to Fowler, endorsed Hosea Williams. Hosea Williams was one of Martin Luther King, Jr.'s most trusted lieutenants and perhaps best known for organizing and leading the first Selma March.[23] Coretta Scott King did not endorse her niece. Young, who had given up the seat to serve as U.S. Ambassador to the UN, and Williams approached King and asked her to end her campaign for the seat so that she could dedicate more time to her family. Young later apologized for what he called "some blatantly chauvinistic remarks."[24] She did not withdraw. With the black vote split, Fowler defeated both King and Williams in the primary. That was the last time she ran for elective office. However, since then, she has publicly stated that she is a Republican.[25]Abortion
Alveda King says "Mrs. Coretta Scott King knew that her husband, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., was pro-life", regarding Martin Luther King Jr. winning the Margaret Sanger Award from Planned Parenthood in 1966.[34] In 1994, According to Fox News, Alveda King has "long argued" that Martin Luther King Jr. was a Republican.[35] In contradiction to King's statement, however, University of Cambridge historian David Garrow stated in a Salon profile of Alveda King regarding Martin Luther King: "King was not only not a Republican, he was well to the left of the Democratic Party of the 1960s [....] It's also well-documented that Dr. King was a strong supporter of Planned Parenthood."[19] Also, after the Republicans nominated Barry Goldwater (who voted against the Civil Rights Act) and Strom Thurmond became a Republican, Dr. King actively campaigned against Goldwater.[36] However, evidence suggests that King was never formally affiliated with any political party.After civil rights leader Rosa Parks died in 2005, King said Parks was a symbol for the pro-life movement[37] (even though she had served on the Board of Advocates of the Planned Parenthood Federation of America).[38][39]
LGBT rights
King has spoken out against LGBT rights. At a 1997 rally in Sacramento protesting proposed state legislation to extend anti-discrimination laws relating to housing and employment to LGBT people, King said: "To equate homosexuality with race is to give a death sentence to civil rights. No one is enslaving homosexuals...or making them sit in the back of the bus."[40] Alveda King wrote a letter condemning Coretta Scott King's support for abortion and gay marriage.[19]In a 1998 speech at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill: "Homosexuality cannot be elevated to the civil rights issue. The civil rights movement was born from the Bible. God hates homosexuality."[41] King made public appearances throughout 1997 criticizing gay rights.[42]
King is also noted for her opposition to same-sex marriage,[43] and received criticism for her August 2010 remarks likening gay marriage to "genocide".[44] In 2012, King said in reference to the NAACP support of same-sex marriages that "Neither my great-grandfather an NAACP founder, my grandfather Dr. Martin Luther King, Sr. an NAACP leader, my father Rev. A. D. Williams King, nor my uncle Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. embraced the homosexual agenda that the current NAACP is attempting to label as a civil rights agenda".[45]
