African-Americans Stand Up for Life

Against the slaughter of the African-American future at the hands of the pro-abortion movement:

The niece of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is coming to the defense of a pro-life congressman who said last week that abortion has hurt the black community worse than slavery. She follows another pro-life African-American leader who says Rep. Trent Franks got it right.

Franks, who has sponsored legislation responding to the high rate of abortions in the African-American community, released a video last week.

“Far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by policies of slavery. And I think, What does it take to get us to wake up?” he says in it.

Franks has come under attack from abortion advocates and the mainstream media, but Dr. Alveda King, whose uncle was the famed civil rights leader, told LifeNews.com today that Franks has a good point.

“Congressman Franks’ comment that ‘far more of the African American community is being devastated’ by abortion ‘than were being devastated by the policies of slavery’ makes a quantitative distinction,” she said. “It’s not a judgment as to which of the two brutal, inhumane practices is worse, but rather which has impacted more people.”

Who is racist? The liberal who wants to government to pay for a black woman to have an abortion, or the conservative who wants to welcome the black child in to the world? Rhetoric vs Reality – and the stark, disgusting reality is that liberals are and have long been the bane of America’s black community.

You can talk all you want about “social justice”. It doesn’t matter to the aborted baby. You can talk all you want about using affirmative action to correct historic wrongs. It doesn’t matter to the aborted baby. You can talk all you want about what wonderful things you’ll do for minorities. It doesn’t matter to the aborted baby. Only if someone is allowed to live does it matter – until liberals become uniformly pro-life, all their talk of helping the downtrodden is just so much garbage.
