Pro-life

[reform]

I found this information on an African American Website.  I believe that those of you who are pro-life can get this information to African Americans they will begin to have a clearer picture on the government's and Planned Parenthood's intentions.  It is great statistical information.

 

Brothers: Men Of The Cloth

Abortion is a leading cause of death in America. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute (AGI) in 2008, 1.21 Million Abortions were performed in the United States of America.⁶

Brothers, the 1.21 million abortions in 2008 are more than all the deaths in the United States of America from Heart Disease, Cancer and HIV AIDS combined or more than seventy-three (73) times the homicides alone, in other words there are over Seventy-Three (73) Abortions for each Homicide.

Brothers, according to the latest CDC report, for every 1,000 live births among Black women, there were 447 abortions.¹⁹

Brothers, the data supports Dr. Clenard Childress who in 2006 first said: "The most dangerous place for an African-American to be is in the womb of their African-American mother."²⁰

Brothers, we really need to talk.
