Aborting Black Citizens

A black baptist minister, Clenard Childress, has a website that advocates a pro-life, pro-family position, which is also staunchly anti-Obama (Sen. Obama is pro-abortion). He argues that a vote for Obama is a vote against African Americans because candidates like Obama support abortion and abortion hurts African Americans the most. Here's the gist of Childress' argument:

  • Although black Americans comprise only 12-13% of the population, 36% of abortions are performed on black women.
  • Since 1973, black abortions have happened at twice the proportion as black live births.
  • 80% of Planned Parenthood (abortion) clinics are in minority neighborhoods.
  • On average, 1,452 black babies will be aborted each day.
  • 203,000 black people have died of AIDS since 1973. 13 million black babies have been aborted during that same period.
  • A black woman over 50 who has had an abortion is 4.7 times more likely to develop breast cancer.

Childress is especially critical of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger and eugenics. Sanger is easy to vilify; read about her here. I don't understand how anyone can support these racist organizations. It was just in the news recently how a caller recorded conversations with Planned Parenthood officials encouraging donations to support the abortions of black babies. It's sickening.

Wow. I knew there was an imbalance, but dang. I don't see how anyone would ENCOURAGE abortion, as if there were no consequences.

Geez, I knew some people have less respect for life than some, but those people have ZERO respect for life. It is sickening...

Thankfully, there are a lot of great resources for people who fall victim to abortion. Be sure to let people know about the outreach 'Abortion Changes You', which is a great healing resource for people who have had an abortion or know someone who has.
