Dr. King very likely said far more than he knew. Indeed, by your logic, it would be just as wrong to use the tagline from "Horton Hears a Who" ("A person's a person, no matter how small") in prolife efforts, because of the vociferous objections of Theodore Geisel and his widow. No, these phrases are powerful tools to do good, and they should be used regardless of the sentiments of their originators. God uses even those mired deeply in sin to do His work.

His words are hollow and should have no meaning for Catholics as they do not apply, nor did he ever intend those words to apply to the unborn.
