Abortion is destroying the black community

by Dave Bohon

Abortion is destroying black America. That’s the message a coalition of African-American pro-life activists took to the White House August 21st in an effort to persuade the Bush Administration that steps must be taken to stop the holocaust that since 1973 has “legally” taken the lives of over 44 million pre-born Americans — over a third of them African-American babies.

The federal Centers for Disease Control estimates that around 1,500 black babies are aborted each day in the United States — or more than 500,000 children per year out of a community that already faces some steep obstacles. Elder Brian and Rev. Denise Walker, who operate a post-abortive healing ministry, joined the group of nearly 200 pastors, church leaders, and pro-life activists for the meeting with Bush officials. They told Pro-Family News that the Supreme Court’s Roe v. Wade decision legalizing abortion in the U.S. amounted to a license to commit large-scale genocide on America’s black community. “What the slave ships couldn’t do to us, what slavery itself couldn’t do to us, and what the Ku Klux Klan couldn’t do to us, abortion has accomplished,” said Denise. She speaks from experience, having suffered through three abortions herself before she and Brian became Christians — and outspokenly pro-life. The Walkers pointed out that abortion is now the leading cause of death in the African-American community. “It causes four times as many deaths among blacks as the combined total of deaths caused by cancer, heart disease, AIDS, homicide, and accidents,” explained Denise.

Brian noted that since 1973, some 14 million African-American children have been aborted. “While blacks comprise 12 percent of the nation’s population, they are the victims of 36 percent of all abortions,” he said.

The decimation of the black community through abortion has come at the hands of abortion providers like Planned Parenthood, and the destruction is in part the consequence of the vision of Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger. Through campaigns like the “Negro Project” Sanger and her compatriots in the birth control movement of the 1920s and ’30s convinced leaders in the black community that limiting black families through birth control would enable them to pull themselves out of poverty. Explained Denise, “Back in the 1930s, as it is today, the pulpit was the base of influence in the black community. The Negro Project was designed to use black clergy to sell the idea of birth control to the rest of the African-American community. Sanger convinced black pastors that the way for the black community, which was poor and largely uneducated, to get ahead was to limit their numbers.”

Since the onset of legalized abortion in the 1970s, the stakes have been upped for the black community. “Under the guise of health-care and helping women and families, countless thousands of African-American babies are aborted each year,” said Brian. The location of the majority of the family planning “health clinics” is telling. “Seventy-eight percent of them are located in minority communities,” said Brian. “Their practices prove their mission. For abortion providers its all about business. Groups like Planned Parenthood get an inordinate amount of their funding via abortions, whether the patient herself pays, or it is subsidized by government funding. So their business plan is to locate their abortion clinics where they can have influence and grow their customer base.”

The website www.blackgenocide.org, sponsored by the New Jersey chapter of the African-American pro-life group Life, Education and Resource Network (LEARN), notes, “With one-third of all abortions performed on Black women, the abortion industry has received over $4,000,000,000 (yes, billion) from the black community.”

Denise warned that the huge numbers of abortions among black women is destroying the African-American community. “We are dying,” she said of the black community. “Our population growth is negative. We are not even replacing ourselves.” While many blacks consider the implementation of the 1965 Voting Rights Act as the final act of liberation for blacks in America, Denise pointed out that in 40 short years America’s abortion mentality has threatened that freedom, putting the African-American population at a numerical disadvantage.

The Rev. Luke Robinson, a black pastor in Frederick, Maryland who helped organize the meeting between Bush officials and the black pro-life leaders, said the focus of the meeting was to persuade the Bush Administration to help educate the American public about how abortion is destroying the black community. He said that while Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers are busily killing babies indiscriminately across the nation, their campaign has been particularly devastating to the black community. “We find that the Hispanic birthrate is about 3.2, the white birthrate is about 2.2, and the African American birthrate is 0.9,” said Robinson, “which means the Hispanic community is tripling itself, the whites are doubling themselves, and the African-American community is not even replacing itself.”

Brian Walker pointed out that the coalition that met with Bush Administration officials wasn’t looking for money or more government programs for the African-American community. “We just want Mr. Bush to use his position as president to raise this as an issue,” he said. “He has been such a staunch supporter of protecting the unborn, so he was the most natural leader to go to.”

While the group was unable to meet personally with President Bush, the Walkers said the White House officials that met with them were very receptive. “We really just let them know what the problem is, that the Jesse Jacksons and the Al Sharptons do not speak for the black community,” she said. “We requested that the president would use his position to expose the genocidal effects of abortion on African-Americans, and to champion the cause of saving black children nationwide.”

In a personal letter to President Bush, Denise said the issue for black America is not “choice but genocide.” She explained that “most people, even in the black community, have no idea that abortion is the number one killer of African-Americans in the United States. Mr. President, we are asking you to use your bully pulpit to sound the alarm and help educate the public to the devastating genocidal effects of abortion within our community….”

The Walkers said that Americans of all races and ethnicities must stand up and say “No More” to abortion. Said Denise, “Our society cannot sustain itself if we do not allow children to be born.”

Now that is a Profound statement!

Remember when White folks used to say "Those Negroes breed like rabbits"? well, it appears those same white folks have convinced Africans in Amerikkka that having children is just too much of a hineration and burden in this society. :'(  we are a dying people if we can't change that mindset.
