Black Pro-Lifer Confused by NAACP's Pro-Abortion Stance

No one knows whose womb holds the chief. (Old African proverb)

A black pro-life activist says it is incomprehensible that a group that claims to champion the right of African Americans supports abortion, which is the number-one killer of black people.

Abortion kills more blacks than all other leading causes of death combined. Yet the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has announced that its board voted to take what it calls a "pro-choice" position on the abortion issue. The NAACP's board of directors, at its February 21 meeting, endorsed the principle that "women have the right to equal access to family planning materials, information, and choice when it comes to birth control."

The resolution went on to say that "a woman denied the right to control her own body is denied equal protection of the law, a right the NAACP has fought for and defended for nearly 100 years." Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP board of directors, calls the right to abortion "an issue of equal rights." This is the first time in the 95-year history of the organization that it has taken a formal position on the issue of abortion.

Since Roe v. Wade was handed down by the Supreme Court in 1973, more than 44 million babies have been killed. Roughly one-third of those babies were African American. Day Gardner, director of Black Americans for Life, says it is sad that most black women believe the lies of the pro-abortion groups -- and the NAACP, she says, is an accomplice to this deception.

"I think we all know that abortion occurs in all races, but we -- as black people -- have always been or always considered ourselves culturally pro-life," Gardner explains. "Most of us have very strong religious backgrounds; and I think because of that, we tend to think it just can't be affecting our community in those numbers. I think it's time for a wakeup call."

Rev. Johnny Hunter of the Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN) in Virginia backs up the claim that abortion is the number-one killer of blacks in America. "We're losing our people at the rate of 1,452 a day," he says. "That's just pure genocide. There's no other word for it."

Hunter also takes issue with Bond's contention that the right to abortion is an issue of equal rights. "We’re destroying the destiny and purpose of others who should be here," Hunter says. "Who knows the musicians we’ve lost? Who knows the great leaders the black community has really lost? Who knows what great minds of economic power people have lost? What great teachers?"

According to the National Right to Life Committee, African Americans make up about 13 percent of the U.S. population, yet black women have an abortion rate three times higher than white women -- a rate acknowledged by the Alan Guttmacher Institute, an arm of Planned Parenthood Federation of America.

Also, more than 70 percent of abortion clinics in America are located in minority communities. Hunter says he has personally observed the presence of Planned Parenthood in the black community today. "When I travel around the country, I can only think of one abortion clinic [I've seen] in a predominantly white neighborhood. The majority of clinics are in black neighborhoods."

Abortion has killed more blacks than the KKK could ever have dreamed of...and it is all supported by the NAACP and liberal democrats.

"We're losing our people at the rate of 1,452 a day,"

The use of the term "our people" like this always bothers me. When will they consider themselves part of the group as a whole?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.

[BenLurkin]

No confusion here. It is just another left aligned organization. It stopped being for civil rights years ago, IMO.

Can anyone say 'Exaggeration' her please. 100 Years ago abortion was a very dirty word. When was the NAACP founded?

When you see exaggeration, what else is under the cover?

[Unam Sanctam]

We all know a large part of the limousine liberals' worship of abortion is that it reduces the number of "undesirable" inner city people. Just as Margaret Sanger of Planned Parenthood believed in eugenics to reduce the number of those of "inferior" race. Yes, the pro-death people are racists.

[sr4402]

Since Roe v. Wade was handed down by the Supreme Court in 1973, more than 44 million babies have been killed. Roughly one-third of those babies were African American.

OK, let's do the math (assuming the facts are accurate here - and I believe the figures are far higher).

About 15 Million African American innocent Babies killed.

About 29 Million Non-African American innocent Babies killed.

What part of, "Thou shalt not Kill", don't we understand?

We can be sure that they get a lot of money from these same women.

Six million people died in the Holocaust, a truly tragic event that is considered deplorable by just about every good natured person walking this Earth. It took place over the course of approximately six years, which means that it on average claimed the lives of a million persons a year.

Yet abortion is not held in such contempt, and in 31 years has killed 44 million. That is an average of 1.42 million persons a year.

Abortion is a massacre which claims more lives a year than the Holocaust, and furthermore claims them in a similar torturous and grotesque display, and yet there is not as much contempt for the procedure as their was for Hitler's gas chambers and human ovens.

What is wrong with this country?

And once again, black people find that an organization which claims to represent all black people only carries the voice of a portion of them; just as "women's" groups do, just as union groups do.....

[Agnes Heep]

It's funny, because on social issues, blacks tend to be quite conservative. Unfortunately, they got into bed with Satan for political reasons, so now they have to abide by Satan's agenda.

I like that. I can't for the life of me understand why the pro-life organizations don't make a stronger push in hte black community.

[Steely Glint]

The NAACP subscribes to yet another item of Leftist dogma and someone is somehow surprised?

[Steely Glint]

"What part of, "Thou shalt not Kill", don't we understand?"

To the Demonrats, it's perfectly okay to kill an innocent baby, but it's somehow wrong to kill a guilty murderer.

You have to be awfully crazy to be a Demonrat.

Back in 1888, Robert Louis Stevenson forecast the agenda of utopians such as these. In "The Four Reformers," he wrote:

"Four reformers met under a bramble bush. They were all agreed the world must be changed. 'We must abolish property,' said one. 'We must abolish marriage,' said the second. 'We must abolish God,' said the third. 'I wish we could abolish work,' said the fourth. 'Do not let us get beyond practical politics,' said the first. 'The first thing is reduce men to a common level.' 'The first thing,' said the second, 'is to give freedom to the sexes.' 'The first thing,' said the third, 'is to find out how to do it.' 'The first step,' said the first, 'is to abolish the Bible.' 'The first thing,' said the second, 'is to abolish the laws,' 'The first thing,' said the third, 'is to abolish mankind'." (1125)

"Abolish mankind" ... a true case of reductio ad absurdum, right? Wrong.

Jacques-Yves Cousteau

Jacques-Yves Cousteau wanted to go part of the way toward abolishing mankind. In a November 1991 interview with The UNESCO Courier, he said:

[In response to an interviewer's question, "Some snakes, mosquitoes, and other animal species pose threats or dangers for humankind. Can they be eliminated like viruses that cause certain diseases?," Cousteau said:] "Getting rid of viruses is an admirable idea, but it raises enormous problems. In the first 1,400 years of the Christian era, population numbers were virtually stationary. Through epidemics, nature compensated for excess births by excess deaths. I talked about this problem with the director of the Egyptian Academy of Sciences. He told me that scientists were appalled to think that by the year 2080 the population of Egypt might reach 250 million. What should we do to eliminate suffering and disease? It's a wonderful idea but perhaps not altogether a beneficial one in the long run. If we try to implement it we may jeopardize the future of our species. It's terrible to have to say this. World population must be stabilized and to do that we must eliminate 350,000 people per day. This is so horrible to contemplate that we shouldn't even say it. But the general situation in which we are involved is lamentable." (1126)

Some things bear repeating.

How to be a good Democrat:

1. You have to believe that the AIDS virus is spread by a lack of federal funding.
2. You have to believe that the same teacher who can't teach 4th-graders how to read is somehow qualified to teach those same kids about sex.

3. You have to believe that guns in the hands of law-abiding Americans are more of a threat than U.S. nuclear weapons technology in the hands of Chinese and North Korean Communists.

4. You have to believe that there was no art before Federal funding.

5. You have to believe that global temperatures are less affected by cyclical, documented changes in the earth's climate and more affected by soccer moms driving SUVs.

6. You have to believe that gender roles are artificial but being homosexual is natural.

7. You have to be against capital punishment but support abortion on demand.

8. You have to believe that businesses create oppression, and governments create prosperity.

9. You have to believe that hunters don't care about nature, but loony activists who have never been outside of San Francisco do.

10. You have to believe that self-esteem is more important than actually doing something to earn it.

11. You have to believe that the military, not corrupt politicians, start wars.

12. You have to believe the NRA is bad because it supports certain parts of the Constitution, while the ACLU is good because it supports certain parts of the Constitution.

13. You have to believe that taxes are too low, but ATM fees are too high.

14. You have to believe that Margaret Sanger and Gloria Steinem are more important to American history than Thomas Jefferson, Gen. Robert E.Lee, and Thomas Edison.

15. You have to believe that standardized tests are racist, but racial quotas and set-asides are not.

16. You have to believe that Hillary Clinton is normal and really a very nice person.

17. You have to believe that the only reason socialism hasn't worked anywhere it's been tried is because the right people haven't been in charge.

18. You have to believe conservatives telling the truth belong in jail, but a liar and sex offender belonged in the White House.

19. You have to believe that homosexual parades displaying drag, transvestites, and bestiality should be constitutionally protected, and manger scenes at Christmas should be illegal.

20. You have to believe that illegal Democratic Party funding by the Chinese government is somehow in the best interest of the United States.

21. You have to believe that this list is part of a vast, right-wing conspiracy.
