"Black and Unwanted"

The Culture of Life is seeking to end the disproportionate destruction of black life by the abortion industry:

The Life Education and Resource Network (L.E.A.R.N.), in collaboration with The Radiance Foundation, announces the launch of the “Black and Unwanted” public awareness initiative in Bryan/College Station. On the heels of massive national and international media coverage of the “Endangered Species” campaign, this nonpartisan campaign continues to reveal abortion’s destruction in the black community while highlighting the need for more adoptions. TooManyAborted.com is the campaign’s online resource that provides irrefutable federal and state abortion statistics and the largely unknown history of the racism and eugenics of Planned Parenthood. It directly challenges the false rhetoric, with actual facts, by groups like the Religious Coalition for Reproductive Choice (RCRC) and other abortion advocates…

The fact will always remain that abortion and birth control were first advanced by the eugenics movement – which sought to cleanse America and the world of “undesirable” children, especially black children. They were seen as weaker and a drag upon the “superior” people – the sickness has changed its rhetoric over the years, but the fact remains that black children are vastly over-represented in the abortion statistics, just as the founders of Planned Parenthood wished.

Death is not the answer to the problems of life. We are called upon to endure our trials and use love and mercy to comfort those in difficulty. In so doing we affirm our humanity – to do otherwise is a rejection of all that is decent. There is not and cannot be the slightest justification of any elective abortion – and even now it still astounds me that people allow themselves to be convinced that the answer to a poor girl unsure of what to do is to kill her child.

With life there is hope – and we must grasp at hope and do what is necessary to foster it. We must end this scourge of abortion and by so doing recover the moral balance which will allow us to ameliorate all other ills in our society.
