Dear Friends,

The Press Enterprise (Riverside, CA) reprinted an Associated Press with the following headline: “NAACP cheers Obama”. This was my response to the article. Please feel free to put your name on it (assuming you agree with the sentiments) and send it to your local newspaper.   

Op-ed letter to the editor regarding PE— “NAACP cheers Obama”—Tuesday, July 15, 2008.

Barack Obama, addressing the NAACP said, “…the problems that plague our community are not unique to us. We just have them a little worse.” 

The problems we face are many, poverty, immorality, drugs, crime, divorce, bigotry, euthanasia, and the most destructive of all, abortion, which has become an issue of racial genocide for African Americans.

Human life is too frequently devalued in our society. For far too long the issue of abortion has been absent from the agenda of the African American leadership, as the number of abortions increase.

Abortion very often is touted as an economic solution for poor women, i.e., “Black women.” Strident, pro-abortion feminists cry for abortion as a “right” for which they must fight to keep.

The Black community has benefited neither socially or economically from an atrocity that is enthusiastically promoted by those who make hundreds of millions of dollars per year from dead African American babies; and by those who seek to entice the Black community to self-destruction through abortion. Therefore, the disproportionate number of abortions by Black Americans, as compared to our percentage of the general population, is more than a social phenomenon—it is genocidal.

The Alan Guttmacher Institute, Planned Parenthood's research arm, reported in January 2003, “Blacks who make up 14% of all childbearing women, have 31.7% of all abortions”. This means that every five minutes four black children are killed by surgical abortion—that’s 1,452 every day; sacrificed for any or no reason. The seeds of the eugenics movement of which abortion is only one way it is manifested, are bearing a bountiful harvest. Black women in the U.S. are almost four times as likely as white women to have an abortion.

The history of America's number one abortion “provider,” Planned Parenthood, reeks with the stench of racism and bigotry that adds another level to the insidious attack that has been waged on African-American women throughout the United States. Radical population control groups like the International Federation of Planned Parenthood want to control the birth rate of the African-American community and people of color throughout the world.

It is ironic that the Democratic Party, which has worked so hard to be the voice of the powerless and the voiceless would not champion the cause for innocent defenseless unborn human life. It's interesting that a party that was at the nucleus of the Civil Rights Movement would support less protection for the unborn child than almost any civilized country in the world. Not only is the issue of abortion not being dealt with by black clergy or black politicians, in fact, abortion is often actually encouraged by these “leaders”.

Legal abortion was first popularized by a white woman, Margaret Sanger, the founder of the National Birth Control League, now known as Planned Parenthood. Sanger called for the sterilization of “genetically inferior races”. In 1939 she organized her “Negro Project” and wrote, “the poorer areas, particularly in the South... are producing alarmingly more than their share of future generations.” “The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the Minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members”.

The aim of Sanger’s program was to restrict–many believe exterminate—the black population. Under the pretense of “better health” and “family planning,” Sanger cleverly implemented her plan, which has worked extraordinarily well over time—today numerous black religious and political leaders, such as Obama, and the NAACP, defend the “right” of women to kill their unborn children. It's ironic that black leaders complain about racism, saying that white people are trying to keep them down, yet they promote one of the most racist policies in this country—abortion.

The Genocide Awareness Project (GAP - http://abortionno.org/gap.html) publicly displays large posters comparing Jewish Holocaust victims, blacks killed in racist lynchings, and aborted babies to teach the “conceptual similarity between abortion and more widely recognized forms of genocide”.

Since the United States Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973, over 17 million black babies have been aborted. Approximately two out of three black babies are aborted in the U.S. If that is not racial genocide, what is? What will it take for the Black moral leadership in America to come to grips with this reality? The blood of 50 million unborn babies cries out from the ground for justice. And the future of our nation, which tolerates the unjust execution of these innocents, depends on it.

“If the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. is to live, our babies must live.” Dr. Alveda King.

Come election day, vote for pro-life candidates committed to ending this genocide.
