Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. says Barack Obama doesn't fulfill her uncle's dream despite his election last week as president. Dr. Alveda King says Obama's pro-abortion position makes it so the civil rights struggle is not complete because unborn children are killed in abortion.
Alveda King told LifeNews.com on Tuesday that the civil rights struggle for unborn children continues and noted that abortion adversely affects the black community.
"The election of an African American president sends a powerful and historic message that what was previously unthinkable can become reality," King said.
"The battle for equal rights has reached a major milestone, but Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of full equality remains just a dream as long as unborn children continue to be treated no better than property," she added.
While Obama has talked about reducing abortions and entering into common ground discussions about abortions involving both sides of the debate, King says his rhetoric and record don't match and that Obama will increase abortions as president.
"President-elect Obama has promised actions that will only increase the number of abortions," she said and added that pro-life advocates "must promise to redouble our efforts to resist anti-life proposals, speak up for the babies, and, above all, pray."
"We must pray with persistence and love that, in God's time, what is now deemed unthinkable will become reality - that all our brothers in sisters, from conception to natural death, will be protected in law and welcomed in society," King concluded.
"The elections are over. The pro-life battle begins anew."
Too little, too late.
So the African American community, with the highest rate of abortions, slobber over their savior who will guarantee them many more of the same, just as the jews voted for Obama in droves without a care that the country of Isreal is now at greater risk with this man as our President.
There is no logic anymore.
God bless her.
Why can’t she get an audience with Obama to explain this??
Too little, too late, bump

Good for her!
Actually she has been very outspoken on this matter for years. The media however has chosen to largely ignore her message .

There is an article on her blog that has been up for awhile
Politics: Whose Side Is God On? By: Bishop Waymond L. Burton, Jr.that quite clearly illustrates good reason for not voting for O
Goodness has skipped across the King family and lives bright and faithful in Dr. Alveda King.
Bless her and keep her strong in her convictions.
There were radio ads running in Denver with her talking about abortion and Obama prior to the election.
IMO — once Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. knew 0bama’s position on abortion and gay marraige, cloning, euthanasia, embryonic research, he would do everything he could to fight against him. Just like his niece is.
Thanks - being in Texas, no one bothers to campaign here much - we’re taken for granted that we will vote conservative
We let the socialists and communists run the schools for three generations. What else do you expect?
