Brothers And Sisters In Christ

J.M.J.+
I am emailing in regards to our next peaceful prayer vigil which will take place on Saturday, the 19th of July outside Planned Parenthood (345 Whitney Avenue New Haven) from 8am until 12 pm noon, the hours which the babies are scheduled to be killed by abortion. Please join us to take an hour of prayer.

Planned Parenthood New Haven is certainly positioned to target the minority population. Here is an interesting article on this sad deception we witness each week. May we grow ever closer to our minority brothers and sisters and remain as their advocates in prayer, truth, and service.
May God bless you,
Mike and Kerry

MINORITY ABORTIONS

Abortion, by the numbers, is a racist institution. How so? Because abortion kills a far greater percentage of minority children in America than it does white children. The Alan Guttmacher fact sheet, Facts in Brief, reveals that, “Black women are more than 3 times as likely as white women to have an abortion, and Hispanic women are 2 1/2 times as likely.”
The Centers for Disease Control, which has began tracking the number and characteristics of women obtaining legal induced abortions since 1969, gives us these numbers. White women, who make up 75% of the female population in the U.S., account for only 55% of all U.S. abortions. Black women, who make up 12.3% of the females in the U.S, account for 35% of all U.S. abortions. “Other races” of women fill out the remaining 12.5% of the female population and account for 10% of all U.S. abortions. In terms of actual lives lost, the numbers are staggering. Each year, almost a half a million black babies are lost to abortion (based on 2000’s 1.31 million U.S. abortions). That averages out to well over 1,000 deaths a day, 365 days a year. The Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN ), the largest African- American pro-life group in the country has produced a chart which compares mortality rates in the Black
community. It shows that abortion has claimed more than two and a half times more African-American lives since 1973 than the next fi ve leading causes combined. The Centers for Disease Control tell us that 285,826 U.S. Blacks died in 2000. That’s about half of the approximately 458,500 blacks who lost their lives to abortion in that same year. To put it bluntly, abortion has thinned the black community in ways the Ku Klux Klan could have only dreamed of. It is a shameful and hidden reality. The fact that many black leaders and organizations support abortion rights does not change the reality of what is happening. The numbers don’t lie. Population estimates show that blacks will soon lose their status as the nation’s largest minority group, and abortion has been a driving force in this population shift. From 1973 to 2004, approximately 15 million blacks have lost their lives to abortion in the United States! The 2002 census shows that the black population in the U.S. stands at approximately 36 million. That means that nearly 30% of the black population has been lost to abortion, more than one in four.
Of Planned Parenthood’s 850 nationwide clinics, almost 80% reside in minority communities. Is this a bizarre coincidence, or is it merely an extension of the eugenic principles that seem to have driven Planned Parenthood’s founder, Margaret Sanger, a founder who is documented as saying, “We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population.”2 This statement, written in a 1939 letter to a colleague, can obviously be taken in one of two ways. Either she didn’t want the black community to wrongly assume that her efforts promoting birth control were an attempt to eliminate them, or she didn’t want the black community to find out that this is exactly what she had in mind. Planned Parenthood assumes the first, her opponents assume the latter. Based on the greater context of her writings, the truth likely lies in between. She probably didn’t have in mind the elimination of all blacks, but it is quite reasonable to concur that she did want to keep them in submission and in line. Whatever the case may be, the bottom line is this. Margaret Sanger’s vision of social purification was rooted in birth control and sterilization. Compared with abortion, these were minor threats to minority communities. Planned Parenthood’s contemporary vision of social purification is much more menacing. No longer is the organization driven by pregnancy prevention, it is now driven by pregnancy elimination. We can debate the racial intent of Planned Parenthood past and present, but we cannot debate the results. Abortion is by no means an equal opportunity killer. Abortion is by no means good for the minority.
