The Extinction of a Race

What is the leading cause of death among blacks in America today?

Is it gang murders?

Is it AIDS?

Accidents?

Cancer?

Sickle-cell anemia?

Heart disease?

Auto accidents?

Drugs?

Guess again.

In fact, if you combined all of these plagues together – and every other cause among the black population – they would not represent even half of the total number of abortions of unborn black babies in America.

That's right, abortion is the leading cause of death among blacks in America and twice as many unborn black babies are killed than by all other causes of death combined. [continue]

I have been hearing this for the past couple of years, but for some reason, there seems to be little or no reaction to it in the black Community. The black race will become extinct if they continue to kill their young through abortion. So why aren't people who are supposed to represent the black community (and standing up for their rights) speaking out about it? And, here I am talking about people like the Reverend Jesse Jackson, Senator Barack Obama, and others. Don't they care what happens to their race? Of course, I forgot they are politicians and they only care about those things which affect their power and influence over others. No, you don't hear about them aborting their own children, but they wholeheartedly approve of it for the children of others. Obama has a 100% pro-abortion voting record. They are a big part of the problem.

Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion company in America and throughout the world, was very outspoken about her aims when she opened her first clinic in the 1920s:

[If] we can train the Negro doctor at the clinic, he can go among them with enthusiasm and with knowledge, which, I believe, will have far-reaching results ... His work, in my opinion, should be entirely with the Negro profession and the nurses, hospitals, social workers, as well as the country's white doctors. His success will depend upon his personality and his training by us.

The minister's work is also important, and also he should be trained, perhaps by the federation, as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. 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.

And, we as taxpayers, are taking part of this mass slaughter of the innocents, bringing about the extinction of the black race through our tax dollars. Planned Parenthood is federally funded and receives hundreds of millions of dollars each year from our pocketbooks to kill babies in their mother's wombs.

As Kelly Hollowell puts it so effectively in her new book, "Struggling For Life: How Your Tax Dollars and Twisted Science Target the Unborn," Imagine a country that forced its citizens to fund an organization which, by itself, was the third leading cause of death in that nation. In addition to operating an industry of death, imagine that this organization targeted communities based on race, fought tooth and nail to undermine parental rights and exposed teens to the most debauched forms of sexual perversion imaginable."

We don't have to imagine such a nation -- we're living in it. The question is: what are we going to do about it?

Two years ago, I heard the Reverend Ceasar Irwin LeFlore III speak on this very issue. Reverend LaFlore, an African-American, is the founder and President of Powerlight Ministries, Inc. of Chicago, IL and the Midwest Regional Director of the Life Education and Resources Network (LEARN). He is an ordained minister who serves as chairman of Adult Bible Education at Lorimer Baptist Church in Dalton, IL. Rev. LeFlore sits on the board of several pro-life organizations, including the Pro-life/Pro-Family Coalition, the Illinois Federation of Right to Life and the Illinois Freedom Project. He is a published author and speaker. He is a husband and father.

Reverend LeFlore compared the Dred-Scott Case* to Roe V. Wade, but he pointed out the one distinction between the Dred Scott case and the Roe v. Wade case is that we can hear the voices of the victims of the slaves, but we cannot hear the voices or the cries of the unborn. Sadly, when politicians speak on behalf of the minorities or when minority concerns are raised, there is never any mention of the pro-life movement or the rights of the unborn He reported that one political party in this country talks about the rights of every minority group with the exception of the unborn.

LeFlore compared the way the Black man was viewed in the Dred - Scott case with the way the unborn baby is viewed by those who uphold pro-death views today. The Dred- Scott perception of the black man was: "He may have a heart and a brain, but he is not a person." The pro-death view of the unborn baby is: He only becomes a person when he is born." Whereas the Black person was viewed as a slave -- a possession---under Dred-Scott, the unborn baby is a possession whose destiny is determined by the mother who wants "control over" her own body. In Dred - Scott, the comment raised by its supporters were "Isn't slavery something merciful?" Abortion supporters also ask, "Isn't abortion merciful?"He spoke about the trials that the black race has endured for many generations and their survival of their race through all of this as a special blessing. "Black people are blessed. God appointed for us to survive. When we were unfairly locked away -- we were free. Though hatred touched our bodies, it could not touch our souls."

In a style reminiscent of the late Reverend Martin Luther King, Le Flore spoke strong words of encouragement, "We are proud. We are survivors. We shall overcome."

"In the next 72 hours, more Blacks will be lynched in the womb than killed any other way." He went on to say that unless something is done to reverse the trend, that it is possible that there will be no blacks by the end of this century. Le Flore related that there are Black men who are "wolves in sheep's clothing" and are claiming to support the rights of others of their race, while at the same time, denying their fellow blacks self-existence. "Social justice has been hijacked."

Some black women today perceive abortion as "a civil right" which has been available to White women for a period of time, which is now a viable option for them, as well.Today, the life threats to blacks include poverty, crime and violence, substance abuse, AIDS, and infant mortality. Since 1973, abortion has taken the lives of more blacks than crime and violence, heart disease, and accidents combined. Abortion takes over 4,000 lives of blacks each day or 1.3 million per year. 36% of all the abortions performed are on black women. Black women have triple the rate of abortions that White women do. Since the passage of Roe v. Wade, 13 million Black babies have died.

What Can We As a Pro-life People Do?

DeFlore recommends the following:

1. Pray always.
2. Promote the preciousness of pregnancy.
3. Educate society.
4. Promote abstinence

* In 1846, Dred Scott and his wife Harriet filed suit for their freedom in the St. Louis Circuit Court. This suit began an eleven-year legal fight that ended in the U.S. Supreme Court, which issued a landmark decision declaring that Scott remain a slave. This decision contributed to rising tensions between the free and slave states just before the American Civil War.
