Yes I’m a Black man, and I won’t vote for Barack Obama for President of the United States.

You are part of a VERY smart and VERY brave 5%. If Gore received 91% of the black vote, Barry will receive 95%.

Excellent post.

You know, one thought occurred to me that I don't recall hearing anyone ever say before. We've been all over the issue of "when does life begin?" ... but here is yet another good question: "When does citizenship begin?"

A newborn, regardless of how much it is wanted or not wanted, by law is a citizen of the United States, and thus should be naturally afforded all rights including the right to representation in a court of law.

Robert, you have my deepest respect and appreciation for your love of the unborn. Truth is a powerful force and is the byproduct of love.

Thank you for taking a stand for Blacks against Abortion.

If only more knew about Margaret Sanger and her quest to destroy the Black race in this country...

****The womb of the woman is the only pathway to life. We must cherish it, protect it, and honor it, recognizing that it is the gateway that God uses to deliver His diversity of gifts to mankind. Therefore, African Americans should never support any candidate, whether they be black or white or Democrat or Republican, that endorses a system that has killed and will continue to kill over 17 million blacks.**

Thank you Mr. Oliver

Thank you for this. The murder of infants that Obama champions got pushed back just a bit. It needed to be brought front and center again.

I cannot imagine how you feel about your refusal to support Obama. The flack that you have to take when you speak your mind at a family event, or the frustration you feel when you judge it best to keep silent must be really difficult. I will add you to my prayers. Life cannot be easy for you right now.

John McCain and Sarah Palin believe brave men and women of honor and valor who volunteer should sacrifice thier lives for the cause of freedom. The junior Senator from IL believes innocent newborn children without a choice should sacrifice thier lives for an unconstitutional court decision.

“Blacks must always remember that all of their great leaders, from Jesus to Jackie Robinson, came through the womb of a woman. The womb of the woman is the only pathway to life. We must cherish it, protect it, and honor it, recognizing that it is the gateway that God uses to deliver His diversity of gifts to mankind. Therefore, African Americans should never support any candidate, whether they be black or white or Democrat or Republican, that endorses a system that has killed and will continue to kill over 17 million blacks.”

Stunning editorial. Thank you, Mr. Oliver.

And how about this as a followup... (see my post above)...

PASS THIS LAW!
Since every abortion entails the prospect of a new citizen being born, ie: botched abortion, and since the new citizen is without any support, whatsoever, of its rights, being in the company of those who would seek its death, an attorney representing its rights must be immediately present while the abortion is performed to protect it from an act of murder, as defacto Power of Attorney. Any woman wishing to have an abortion must sign the paperwork consigning the attorney these rights as an additional guarantee that the rights of a new citizen, should a birth occur rather than an abortion, will be instantly secured.

Additionally, an OB Doctor, and OB Nurse, appointed by the attorney shall be standing by to assist as necessary to protect the child from any complications and all necessary medicines and medical equipment normally available to newborns shall be immediately available in the room the abortion attempt is taking place, and an ambulance, and ambulance driver shall be no more than 100 feet of the abortion procedure room ready to transport the newborn to the nearest hospital ward, and shall be paid for in advance by the clinic, and approved by the attorney.

By golly, we might just have a way to stop abortions without overturning Roe VS Wade.

Thanks for the great post! I think it should be called infanticide or baby murder. It is crazy that these folks think it is bad to kill a terrorist who is trying to kill you, but killing an innocent baby who is born alive is celebrated.

Most black women I know say they are prolife.

They suspect black babies are being killed disproportionately. Aren’t 2/3 of DC’s aborted babies black?

On other moral issues, they tend to be conservative-at least in principle. But they don’t apply these principles to actual situations.

They refuse to believe O is proabortion.

One friend cannot believe OJ was guilty, and believes that if she is pulled over by a cop, it is only because she is black. Everything bad that happrns to her or her family is some form of discrimination.

She votes for anyone with a D next to his name, and no matter how much the candidate publicizes his position, she simply refuses to believe it. I don’t get it.

Another friend has watched the news closely over the last couple of years, and recognizes how much abortion is tied to how the MSM portrays people. She no longer considers herself a democrat because of their obsession with killing babies and the disabled.

Dr. Martin Luther King's niece is working to save babies. You have joined a beautiful brave soul fighting the good fight.

God Bless You!

I don't know if you like country music but help yourself to a free download of my mp3 and video. We all try to stop abortion in our own way. This is mine.

Abortion may eclipse slavery as the one true crime against humanity. At least the slaves fought back. An unborn child is at the mercy of the living. Through a legal argument a child is not recognized as a human being. The same legal argument's were made against people of color and of serfs who lived and toiled on feudal lands for centuries. Barak Obama is utterly contemptuous of his own. As a black man from a teenage mother abandoned by his black father Obama if anything should stand up to this holocaust. Instead he wants to accelerate it. MLK must be spinning in his grave indeed.

Obama Says A Baby Is A Punishment
