APOSTATE CLERGY ALERT
Not hard to see why that denomination is having difficulties, is it?
CRLC March For Life 2004Colorado Right to Life Committee's annual March For Life will be held January 17, 2004, on the West steps of the state capitol starting at 1:30 p.m. The featured speaker will be Star Parker.
Star Parker
Star Parker is the founder and president of CURE - the Coalition on Urban Renewal and Education, a 501c3 non-profit providing national dialogue on race and poverty in the media, inner city neighborhoods and public policy.
Prior to her involvement in social activism, Star Parker was a single welfare mother in Los Angeles, California. After receiving Christ, Star returned to college and received a B.S. degree in marketing and launched an urban Christian magazine. Although the 1992 Los Angeles riots destroyed her business, they served as a springboard for her focus on faith-based and free market alternatives to empower the lives of the poor.
Star is a regular commentator on CNN, MSNBC and FOX NEWS. She has debated Jesse Jackson on BET, fought for school choice on Larry King Live and has defended welfare reform on the Oprah Winfrey Show.
Star’s personal transformation from welfare fraud to conservative crusader has been chronicled by ABC’s 20/20, Rush Limbaugh, Dr. James Dobson, The 700 Club, Christianity Today as well as World Magazine. Her autobiography, “Pimps, Whores and Welfare Brats” was released in 1997 by Pocket Books and her New Book, “Uncle Sam’s Plantation” was released in the fall of 2003.
Star’s latest book has a compelling chapter on Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger and the organization’s eugenic plan to target minorities for extinction.
“Sanger’s ideas have been allowed to permeate the black community, paving the way to their future with blood in the name of ‘reproductive rights.’ . . . “While today’s civil rights leaders dare to suggest they speak for the rights of the poor and underprivileged, few support alternatives to abortion. LEARN (Life Education and Resource Network) documents that African American abortion rates, which are approximately 1,452 every day, are running 2-1 against live births. Since 1973, there have been 13 million blacks killed by abortion. By ignoring the racial impact of abortion on blacks, these leaders affirm their Leftist support of radical feminism is more important to them than progress for the black poor.”
