The NAACP has threatened to sue the Radiance Foundation for trademark infringement. The Radiance Foundation has responded by filing a suit of its own and is waiting for an answer.
The NAACP is upset because the Radiance Foundation has publicly revealed the former civil rights organization's support for abortion and close ties with Planned Parenthood. Foundation founder Ryan Bomberger tells OneNewsNow the NAACP has threatened to sue them unless they remove every reference to their name and seal. However, those items are things the media and other organizations commonly use in stories or in issuing press releases.
"They're particularly irked by the fact that we have given them, satirically, the name of the 'National Association for the Abortion of Colored People,'" he explains. "That has apparently pushed them over the line."
While the information Bomberger has put out about the NAACP is factual, he argues that organization is not demonstrating appreciation for constitutional protections for freedom of speech.
"The issue is we've got the NAACP celebrating abortion," he says. "In fact, their president, Julian Bond, praised the high abortion rates among black women. We're talking about black children being aborted at rates of up to six times more than the majority population. In fact, in New York City -- that's where Julian Bond gave that address -- more black babies are aborted than are born alive."
Responding to the threat of a lawsuit, Alliance Defending Freedom is representing the Radiance Foundation and has gone to court asking for a judge to rule in the Foundation's favor.
