Let's look at the math:<br><br><span style="color:#ffffff;">---</span>587,000 Live Black Births<br><span style="color:#ffffff;">-</span>- 744,808 Black Deaths <span style="font-size:12px; color:#000044;">(i.e., 452,000 induced abortions + 292,808 all other causes)</span><br>-------------------------------------<br><span style="color:#ffffff;">-</span>- <strong>157,808 (Black Life Deficit)</strong> </p> <p style="margin:0 0 10px 0; font-size:18px; color:#000044; text-decoration:underline;">Black America's Total Fertility Rate</p> <p style="margin:0 0 25px 0; text-align:justify;"> A total fertility rate of 2.1 represents "replacement level" fertility for the total population under current mortality conditions (assuming no net immigration). According to the United State Census Bureau, Statistical Abstract of the United States: 2006 (Vital Statistics page 67, Table. 77), Black America is below the replacement level at 1.9. According to research, in order for a culture to maintain itself for more than 25 years, there must be a fertility rate of 2.1, with anything less, the culture will decline. Historically, no culture has ever reversed a 1.9 fertility rate. </p> <p style="margin:0 0 10px 0; font-size:18px; color:#000044; text-decoration:underline;">Endangered Species</p> <p style="margin:0 0 25px 0; text-align:justify;"> In 1970 the fertility rate for Black America was 3.0. Since abortion became legal, the fertility rate for Black America has dropped to 1.9. Understanding replacement level is not difficult. Today in Black America there is more death than life. In my opinion, if we do not band together and stop abortion, Black America may face the very real possibility of being an endangered species by the year of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ 2100. <br><br> Brothers, we really need to talk. </p> </td> </tr> <tr> <!--| Start: Donation Code |--> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="100%"> <tbody> <tr> <td style="background-color:#ffffff; border-top:1px solid #000044; font-family:Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:10px; color:#000044; line-height:14px; padding:7.5px 0px 7.5px 0px;" width="100%"><a href="http://www.issues4life.org/donations.html" style="text-decoration:none;"><img src="http://www.issues4life.org/images/givetoday.jpg" alt="Donate Now" align="left" width="49" height="39" border="0" style="padding-left:5px; padding-right:5px;"></a><a href="http://www.issues4life.org/donations.html" style="color:#000044;"><strong>Click Here</strong></a> To Support Our Work.
