A pro-life advocate in Kansas is battling to fight growing epidemic of abortion among blacks.
Reports indicate abortion is the leading cause of death within the African-American community in the U.S. According to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC), since 1973 -- the year of the Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade -- 13 million African-American lives have been lost to abortion.
Peggy Elliott Ministries was honored with a $2,500 grant at the recent Servant Awards celebration in Wichita, Kansas. Dr. Peggy Elliott, ministry founder and president, says it is time for the genocide to stop.
"Between abortion and black-on-black crime, as a people group we're exterminating ourselves. We're not loving our children in the womb or outside of the womb," she shares. "So I have to do whatever it is that I can do to help save babies' lives and to make an impact on our culture.
"We've become a culture of death -- and I want to be one of those used by God to move us from a culture of death to a culture of life."
Currently in Congress, every member of the Congressional Black Caucus identifies himself or herself as "pro-choice." Elliott laments that fact.
"Less than two percent of the African-American population is involved actively in the pro-life movement," she notes. "So any of the babies who have been saved -- our babies -- have been because there's been people who aren't concerned about the color. So [while] I say thank you to that...I also say it's time for my culture to wake up and to become involved."
We have more babies die from [Sudden Infant Death Syndrome] -- there's something wrong," says the ministry leader. I believe the something that's wrong is we've moved away from our first love, which is Jesus Christ."

maybe they do but at least the conservative christian kids will know who their father is.
You’re right about that. The social programs and values of the left are killing the very people they purport to help.
And only a small percenatge of blacks realize it, like Bill Cosby.
And this is the very argument that any white who is accused of being a racist against blacks should use.
Who is worse, a racist or someone practicing or supporting genocide against their own race?
“In three generations, there will be no Democrats.’
Good idea, but can we survive three more generations of degeneration?
Liberalism is killing the whole country. White kids have been pretty much culturally cleansed of their roots, spirit and idenity. They are being taught self shame or race shame and fear. They are being grilled to reject everything about themselves. White boys, in particular, are being abused in schools.
What happens to a targeted population like this in future generations? Look around you. We let the Left’s post segregation race hate game go too far for too long.
It is a kind of racial suicide, using the proxy of the Democrat Party, which apparently the majority of black people keep voting into office.
The Demonrats keep on killing black babies in even greater numbers than white ones.
That is a cop-out. If you can’t afford more than two children in the richest society in human history, then no one could ever afford more than two.

Exactly. It should not be up to the individual parents to determine the cutoff point for # of kids / level of financial comfort. We should use a calculus that factors in 3rd world birthrates and their standard of living, multiplied by the factor our standard of living is greater than theirs. 3 kids in a 3rd world country with a standard of living 1/3 ours translates into 9 kids for us. Any fewer than that and you are copping out.
Back in the late ‘60’s I worked in the poverty programs and was the first white person to live in the Central City Ghetto in New Orleans and in the St. Bernard projects.
I also worked in the Barrios of San Antonio. So I know quite a bit about race and poverty in America. I also know that no matter how much money you make if you have 8 kids you will be financially stretched. You will be even more destitute if you are a single teenage mother (i.e. uneducated). Regardless of race.
In the 80’s I was walking in downtown San Francisco with a German neurologist and we came across a poor “homeless” person who in previous times would have been called a wino. The German Doc “tsk, tsked” and said, “I would hate to be a black person in America”. So I asked him where he would like to be a black person, exactly? He had no answer.
I have spent a fair amount of time in Africa and Europe. No where are people of negro decent doing better than the USA. No doubt people of African decent has suffered horrific racism, when I worked in NO they were not allowed into City Hall and the French Quarter was segregated. Having said that the American Blacks of the 60’s were doing much better than present day Zimbabweans.
I have no answer but I can say throwing money wastefully at the Department of Education and shoveling money to the various “Reverends” sure as hell IS NOT going to help. Executing drug dealers, rapidly and in public, would help some in that it would at least make me feel better.
Oh, please. I have Amish neighbors whose gross incomes probably don’t exceed $30-40,000 per year. They may have as many as a dozen children and are the richest people I know by any measure that counts. (And they don’t live in their cars).
And in many Amish families, properties are passed down from one generation to the next so they do not have to go through the expense of buying a house or renting an apartment. I suppose I could take my family and move in with my mother, but then I would be too far from my job to practically work there anymore.
Passing a house between generations could account for the future living accomodations for one child, not a dozen. The fact is, the Amish tend to dedicate their lives to their families, and are by and large happy. We English tend to dedicate our lives to mammon and would appear to be decidedly less happy.
So far the genocidal killers of PP are way way ahead in the body count.
It is kinda hard to be a slave to Mammon when you pay over half of your income in taxes (as Jesus reminds us that we are obligated to pay all the taxes we are legally obligated to pay) and then attempt to support a family on the rest. As for the Amish, I believe they get a break from having to pay Social Security taxes at least. Why can't us gentiles get such a break?
Where did I say that, genius? I didn’t.
If your material comforts are more important to you than raising a family, then don’t be surprised when your culture is taken over by others. That’s just the plain fact of the matter.
Personally, I have found that I enjoy being around people who value children more than people who value “stuff”.

I guess you cared for my sarcasm about as much as I cared for your calculus.
LOL, you are right. Your term was cop out.
You only suggest that those who make different decisions than you as to the creature comfort/# of kids ratio are leading to the demise of our culture.
Your false dichotomy is pretty glaring, don’t you think? That one can value either children or value ‘stuff’, but have no ability to recognize relative importance?
I have 3 kids AND ‘stuff’. Guess which I’m gonna make sure is out of the house first in the event of a fire?
I know a good number of Christian families and black families - none have more than 2-3 children. The only group I notice having large families are Orthodox Jews. I have read that Mormons have a high birthrate too, though I don’t run into many in south Florida.
