Views and activism

Angela D. Dillard classifies King as among the nearly prominent black figures on the American religious right.

King is an anti-abortion activist. She had two abortions ago changing her views following the birth of one of her children and her becoming a born-again Christian in 1983. King managers the issue as one of racial discrimination; she has forwarded to abortion as "womb-lynching" and accused Planned Parenthood of profiting from "aborting black babies." King is director of the activist group Civil Rights for the Unborn and is director of Priests for Life's African American outreach.

In 1996, she denounced her aunt Coretta Scott King for her guide for abortion rights.

On September 22, 2020, King appeared in Equality Proclamation. The document, signed on the 158th anniversary of the Emancipation Proclamation's signing, argued that the tactics and locations of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood were racially discriminatory. According to a written document distributed by the group, King and the other signees believed that “the targeted practices of Alabama abortion providers are both discriminatory and disproportionately harmful to black mothers and their babies” and that a legal case could be presented against abortion using the Tenth Amendment.

King planned at Glenn Beck's "Restoring Honor" rally at the Lincoln Memorial in August 2010. ABC News presents that in King's speech, she hoped that "white privilege will become human privilege and that America will soon repent of the sin of racism and advantage itself to honor."

King has spoken out against same-sex marriage. In 2010 she equated same-sex marriage to genocide at a rally in Atlanta, saying, "We don't want genocide. We don't want to destroy the sacred institution of marriage." In a 2015 essay, she wrote that "life is a human and civil right, so is procreative marriage. . . . We must now go back to the beginning, starting with Genesis, and teach about God's plan for marriage."
