The assistant national director of the Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN) says an attempt is under way today in Detroit by the NAACP's Georgia state president to convene an emergency session at the organization's annual convention on its last day. The purpose of the session is to allow reading of a pro-life resolution from the Macon affiliate -- something that was denied yesterday by the NAACP's governing committee.
The resolution would have involved a floor discussion of the harmful effects of abortion on African-American women. LEARN's Rev. Clenard Childress says the committee violated bylaws of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which allows resolutions to be presented and read by state chapters on the floor of the conventions, to be opened for discussion.
He acknowledges that the committee has the right to prevent the resolution being opened for discussion, but not to prevent it from being read. "So what they did, then, is just rejected the resolution outright," says Childress, "[and] made the bogus claim that there were errors in it -- and therefore there would not be an obligation to read it at the convention."
Childress explains this is not the first time opponents have employed the tactic of prohibiting a resolution addressing abortion from a pro-life context from being read. "This is the second time [in three years] that resolutions have been rejected by this present administration of the NAACP that has abortion content to it," he notes. "It is obvious [there is] a pattern of censorship, and I think we need to have some serious changes in the NAACP."
And since yesterday, he adds, pro-life delegates have been unable to find a letter from the committee it claims it sent explaining the alleged errors in this year's resolution.
Delegates such as Dr. Alveda King -- niece of the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. -- are attempting to get the reading in an emergency session today. But if they are unsuccessful, Childress says he and other pro-life leaders in Detroit today will highlight publicly what he calls "the abuse of powers" in censoring one of its own chapters' content.
Pro-Life PING!
But what should we expect from the NAALiberalCP?
They really don’t care about the advancement of anybody but themselves.
PING!
Ugh! This one would be a pong not a ping. Sad really ...

I’ve used that black genocide link before when arguing with those in favor of abortion. Usually they have no comeback to the information. Blacks are coveted under the liberals’ tent, but unborn children are not. That is why this is of no concern to them. Many blacks don’t realize the eugenics and the killing off of their own population. It’s very sad.
Thank you for all the links, Coleus! You are awesome!
"The body of Christ doesn't work properly without the members praying for each other... Prayer is the immunity system of the body of Christ...
"Prayerlessness in the body of Christ is akin to leprosy. I learned some things about leprosy from Paul Brand, a surgeon to lepers. He says that in leprosy the nerves stop functioning properly, no longer sending signals of pain to the brain. Lepers will begin to lose fingers and toes in accidents because they cannot feel pain when they are hurting themselves.
"Drawing a spiritual analogy form that, when the church does not feel pain with other suffering believers, it indicates the presence of 'spiritual leprosy'. The church's nerves are dead. What happens next is the church begins to lose body members.
..."May the Lord put a holy alarm in our spirits over the powerlessness of the church, and drive us to our knees in an impassioned pursuit of the overcoming authority Christ died to give us!"
The Secrets of the Secret Place by Bob Sorge
I think this leprosy is happening with the Pro-Life movement. A year to two years ago there MANY people active in the movement. Where are they? Numb to the pain of abortion? Complacent in their pew? We have a center that has sent out an urgent letter requesting prayers and funding, or they might have to close doors! Leprosy has set in. It is contagious! .
