This sounds extremely doubtful. President Bush has always gone out of the way to be friendly to blacks. And there's no racism that I've ever heard of in the pro-life movement. To the contrary, the idea is to protect the rights of all the unborn.

Margaret Sanger, on the other hand, was a racist, as were many in the early eugenics movement that stands behind Planned Parenthood.

There are relatively few blacks in the pro-life movement because of the dereliction of black leaders, especially black clergy. They are the guys who need the way to a PRACTICAL repudiation of abortion and perversion.

In the early days after Roe v. Wade, it was lay Catholics who led the way, with very little help from the priests and bishops. Then the clergy started to get on board, and the Evangelicals joined in.

It's long past time that Black Baptists and others joined the pro-life party. They would be most welcome.

"This sounds extremely doubtful."

Yes, it does, but I did hear similar grumblings about another pro-life photo op. I really can't remember clearly what it was, and I may have it all mixed up. Suffice it to say if this is accurate it is mere stupidity above all else.
