He said the protest at the Cincinnati, Ohio convention will highlight the failure of the NAACP to recognize how abortion is destroying the black community by the thousands. "We will be addressing the failure of the joint board to read the resolution from Macon, Georgia that brings to the attention of the convention the alarming abortion rate and the increasing health risk," he said. "Historically, the NAACP has failed to address the concerns of many of its delegates about abortion," he added.
The black pastor pointed to a 2004 resolution voicing support for equal access to abortion and urging its members to participate in a pro-abortion rally in Washington. In 2007, the NAACP, for the second time in four years, blocked a proposed resolution expressing opposition to abortion. He also pointed to black leaders like Jesse Jackson who historically took pro-life positions but compromised on the issue for political gain. "Sadly, like Jackson, so many of Americas black leaders have sold out to the abortion industry," he says. "But we have an opportunity at the NAACP convention to remind these leaders of our real value system."
But, ultimately, if the African-American community can tackle the abortion issue, Childress says the pro-life movement will win and mothers and unborn children will be protected. "Whether you are black or white, we know that the black community and its leadership hold the key to turning the abortion debate around. If my fellow black leaders begin to address the issue -- Roe v. Wades days are numbered," he concluded. Childress is sponsoring two buses to bring 100 African-American pro-lifers with him to the event.
Like abortion isn't as wrong when it targets whites and latinos.
Approximately one-third of the African-American community
would claim to be religious.
But 95% of that same community supports (or at least votes for candidates who support) abortion, gay rights, etc.
Somewhere there has been a disconnect. . .
In 30 years, AFAIK the African-American community has never elected a member of Congress who has been pro-life or pro-marriage.
Just for your consideration, think about whom the black people —with this very high rate of slaughtering their own alive unborn children— support in elections and what those elected officials deliver for the black community to embrace. Slaughtered children are children ... but the community using this evil means are empowering the democrats who bring this evil to the taxpayers responsibility ... we pay for this evil whether you want to admit it or not.

Well, if they attend a church like Obama and his family did, religious wouldn’t mean much.
Eugenics was a big part of Planned Parenthood’s founding
Rant:
Abortion is wrong, wrong, and again I say abortion is wrong. Doesnt matter what race abortion is just wrong. And any medical professional that chooses to perform abortions should spend eternity in the deepest recesses of hell.
Now, ask me what I think of abortion. ;-(
Rant off.
There was JC Watts, but I guess he wasn't actually elected by the "African-American community" but rather by Conservative white Okies.
I’ve said this before. Something about this black Genocide pitch makes me uncomfortable.

Why the drop after 1960? (in deaths of women from illegal abortions)
The reasons were new and better antibiotics, better surgery and the establishment of intensive care units in hospitals. This was in the face of a rising population. Between 1967 and 1970 sixteen states legalized abortion. In most it was limited, only for rape, incest and severe fetal handicap (life of mother was legal in all states). There were two big exceptions California in 1967, and New York in 1970 allowed abortion on demand. Now look at the chart carefully.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Abortion Statistics - Decision to Have an Abortion (U.S.)
· 25.5% of women deciding to have an abortion want to postpone childbearing
· 21.3% of women cannot afford a baby
· 14.1% of women have a relationship issue or their partner does not want a child
· 12.2% of women are too young (their parents or others object to the pregnancy)
· 10.8% of women feel a child will disrupt their education or career
· 7.9% of women want no (more) children
· 3.3% of women have an abortion due to a risk to fetal health
2.8% of women have an abortion due to a risk to maternal health
----------------------------------------------------------------------
So how many womens lives have been saved by abortion?
Only about 3% of abortions since 1972 were reported to be due to a risk to maternal health. A reasonable person would recognize that not all of those cases represent a lethal risk. But lets say they did. That means that nearly 45 million fetuses were butchered to save the lives of about 1.3 million women. Or put another way; 35 babies are killed to save each woman.
Abortion was legal in all 50 states prior to Roe v. Wade in cases of danger to the life of the woman.

I applaud the pro-life cause and I hope Pastor Childress draws a crowd. However, if the “solution” is to provide more tax money so that the state can do what fathers and mothers are supposed to be doing but don’t, supporting the children they bring into the world, then I would like to see him work on turning that attitude around as well.
Umm, right. So, black people murder their children at the highest rate.
But the unmistakeable overtones of black victimization that ring in the phrase "Black Genocide" are dissonant with that reality.
