I love it.

DENVER, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Colorado Right to Life and American Right to Life will stand with black leaders from around the country at their Power in the Park rally and press conference on August 25, 2008, 8:30 am at Martin Luther King Park, one block from the largest Planned Parenthood abortuary in the nation.

The killing center, dubbed Auschwitz, by local opponents of the racist organization, is situated in north Denver’s minority neighborhood - consistent with the patterns of targeting minorities noted by Blackgenocide.org.

Speakers include presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes with America’s Independent Party, Jessie Lee Peterson, president of BOND, Rev Clenard Childress of Blackgenocide.org, Flip Benham of Operation Rescue National, and Denver’s Bishop Phillip Porter, former chairman of Promise Keepers, who will expose the tragedy that although black women comprise 6% of the population, they receive nearly 40% of the abortions in America. The leading abortion providers exploit blacks by placing 94% of abortuaries in urban neighborhoods with high black populations.

These leaders agree with CRTL and ARTL that because abortion is always wrong, every innocent human life deserves legal protection, from the moment of fertilization and through natural death.

Black leaders, including Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King have recently been asking why black Americans are being targeted by Planned Parenthood for abortions and demanding that the killing stop.

Dr. Keyes, in fact, relates his revulsion about Denver’s new abortion mill:

“The number one taker of black life is abortion, and it’s time people woke up to that fact. The location of this latest Planned Parenthood facility in yet another minority neighborhood is a part of the continuing fulfillment of the racist, eugenicist dream of their founder, Margaret Sanger, but it is a travesty of the American dream. Planned Parenthood’s agenda discards the principle that we are all created equal, which is the basis of liberty for all Americans.” - Alan Keyes

I highly doubt this will be even a whisper on the nightly news....

But Praise God for this event and I hope there will be more and more like it all across the country!

There is also an official pro-life organization of Black Catholis. It's wonderful. Please take a look at their website and support them however you can, even if just sending the link to your pro-life and Catholic friends so that more people are aware of it.

I could have sworn there was a pro-life organization of Black Catholic WOMEN but I haven't found it yet.

This is a great Black American Catholic ministry, too:

What's your point, Dust? Who is "they" and what are you referring to when you say "gotta be Black"?

I think having Black people recognise and take a stand against the number one killer of *all* peoples in the USA is awesome. The fact they choose to have ‘Black’ pro-life organisations is probably a reflection of Black American culture. When I lived in the US, my Black friends would tell me they always needed to have a distinct voice as ‘Black people’ because people always point to them as Black people. E.g. ‘Why don’t Black people do something about all the Black men in prison?’ ‘Why don’t Black people do something about guns in their community?’

In the UK, we don’t have separate or subdivisions of the pro-life movement based on race/cultural identity that I know of, but we have big African and Black Brit membership. It does help many people to know that there are people in their same community who can relate to them and whom they may trust more. It can be a more powerful witness for a Black woman to see another Black woman who has been through her same struggle, and kept her baby.

Pro-life vigils in my town are often attended by elderly White people and middle class White people and Uni students. One of my friends who was going in for an abortion remarked how she felt those people didn’t have a clue about her life ‘who are they to judge me?’ I am not Black but I can see how she might have felt like that, even if it is wrong. She couldn’t see that those people were not judging her- they were there genuinely offering their help.

I personally think the pro-life movement is universal, it is everyone's problem- but if it helps reach more people more powerfully to save lives, then why not have branches that extend out to different communities? I think it's better in the form of diverse membership for the one cause, rather than forming a separate entity, but it doesn't always work that way.

Word to everything you wrote there.

Also, Black Americans have a special case against abortion becuase the founder of Planned Parenthood was a rabid racist who envisioned abortion as the ultimate weapon against an increasing Black population. She WANTED to kill unborn Black Americans, whom she deemed to be racially inferior.

Black pro-lifers know about this.

Awesome. :clap:

You know when I first saw your title I thought "well duh of course the balcks are against abortion" then I read the article.


I thought you meant the German conservative party otherwise known as the "black party" or simply "THE BLACKS"
who tend to be Catholic.


I have been here too long.

What are you talking about??? The title says "black pro-lifers". What does that have to do with Germans?

Sheesh.

:huh:

A German would understand the Reference to the Christian Democratics.... who are also black-prolifers.

Think outside the box.

This has nothing to do with anything here. It is strange that on a Catholic message board you would claim that upon seeing the words "black pro-lifers" the first thought you had was German conservatives.

Just...so random...and not connected to anything here.
