SPECIAL EDITION
The Most Dangerous Place
"Tears stream from our eyes because of the destruction of our people!" — (Lamentations 3:48)
The numbers reflecting the impact of abortion in Black America in New York City are entirely upside down. According to Dr. Gerard M. Nadal, who holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology with a minor in Philosophy, Master of Science in Cellular and Molecular Biology, Master of Philosophy in Biology, and Ph.D. in Molecular Microbiology, 89% of all abortions in New York City are minority babies.1 Can anybody say targeting? In 2008, there were 512 abortions per 1000 live births for whites, while there were 1,260 abortions per 1000 live births for Blacks in New York City. By 2009 there were 1,489 abortions per 1,000 live births for Blacks in New York City. This is an 18% increase in the wrong direction. Can anybody say endangered? Of the 4.3 million abortions in New York City since 1970, close to 3.3 million are Black and Hispanic. Can anybody say genocide? Nationwide, according to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, 30% of abortions occur to Black women and 25% of abortions occur to Hispanic women.2 In other words, 55% of all abortions in the United States of America occur between two minority communities. If the Black American community makes up, at best, 13% of the U.S. population and yet we account for 30% of all abortions in the country, is there a more dangerous place for Black American babies than the womb of their mothers?
Defund Planned Parenthood Now!
"Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!" — (Isaiah 5:20)
Planned Parenthood the largest child killing organization in America has been exposed over and over again for covering up child rape and sex trafficking across the country. Planned Parenthood must be defunded. Planned Parenthood cannot be allowed to continue their child killing practices any longer. Just as racism is not dead in America, neither is Margaret Sanger's vision. Personally, I am so very, very weary of Planned Parenthood's "rationalization" for government funding. Let's be clear. Funding Planned Parenthood with U.S. taxpayer dollars, under the "guise" of providing aid to a struggling community, is equivalent to justifying the use of tax dollars to help the Ku Klux Klan buy rope so they can secure their support for struggling communities in the backs of their wagons.
National Day Of Mourning
"In Rama was there a voice heard, lamentation, and weeping, and great mourning, Rachel weeping for her children, and would not be comforted, because they are not." — (Matthew 2:18)
We mourn the loss of every life, regardless of race, because of abortion. But we will not accept the status quo that endangers black children up to 5x more than the majority population.3 In New York City, more black children are aborted than are born alive! Almost 60% of all black pregnancies end in abortion. This is not about healthcare. This is not about making a way out of poverty. This is not about freedom. This is not about empowerment. This is about the reality of a modern day version of well documented, historical and systematic genocidal policies that are alive and well today in America because we as a people have corrupted ourselves.4 Like "Rachel weeping for her children," today I am wearing BLACK with a RED wrist band as we mourn for ours.
Brothers, we really need to talk.
