There has been good news
recently regarding abortions in America.
Surgical abortions have slightly decreased in number since the
1990’s. The bad news is that the
morning-after pill is now used five times more frequently than surgical
abortion. The general consensus is that
a morning after pill taken 24 hours after intercourse is effective in
preventing a pregnancy. A newer
‘contraceptive’, ellaOne, is affective up to five days after intercourse. (ABC News Medical Unit, 2/1/2010) If this pill is affective for five days, is
it not preventing an already fertilized egg from attaching to the uterus? For those who believe life begins at
conception, this is not contraception, this is abortion.
Americans have committed over
50 million abortions since Roe v. Wade in 1973.
Many believe strongly that abortion is the murder of innocent children,
deprived of their unalienable right to pursue life, liberty and happiness in
this life. It is a grievous fact that 1/6 of the U.S. population has fallen
victim to mass murder.
The greatest violator in this
murder of innocents is Planned Parenthood.
When Americans want to understand their roots, they study the hearts and
minds of the founding fathers. When
people are curious about Christianity, they study the life of its founder,
Jesus Christ. Likewise, if one wants to
understand Planned Parenthood, it is necessary to study the life and ideas of
its originator.
Margaret Sanger established Planned
Parenthood for the purpose of promoting birth control as a tool for “racial
purification". Both Sanger and
Adolph Hitler embraced Darwin’s theory of ‘survival of the fittest’ and used
eugenics to apply his theory to the human race.
Sanger believed birth control would produce a “race of thoroughbreds”. (The Birth Control Review, 1921, p.2)
The founder of Planned
Parenthood addressed blacks and poor immigrants in Pivot of Civilization, referring to them as “…human weeds,’
‘reckless breeders’, ‘spawning…human beings who never should have been
born.’ She believed that couples should
have to submit an application to have a child.
Poverty could only be eliminated by reducing or eliminating reproduction
among the poor. “The most merciful thing
that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it,” Sanger
concluded. (Women and the New Race,
Eugenics Publication Co., 1920, 1923)
Sanger’s evil goal was
embodied in her Negro Project. “We do not want word to go out that we want to
exterminate the Negro population.” (Woman's
Body, Woman's Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America, by Linda
Gordon) Margaret Sanger not only blasphemed
the sanctity of life but also the sanctity of marriage. “The marriage bed is the most degenerating
influence in the social order.” (Birth Control in America, p. 23) Sanger's belief is contrary to the teaching
of God’s Word, "Marriage is honorable in all, and the bed undefiled; but
whoremongers and adulterers God will judge." (Hebrews 13:4)
Would someone in leadership at
Planned Parenthood please explain to the American people when and how Sanger’s
Negro Project was abandoned? Can't you see a black man walking up out of a typical,
American inner city crying for an answer
to his question, “Why are all these abortion clinics in my neighborhood but
they are not in your neighborhoods?”
Atlanta’s Center for Disease
Control released these alarming statistics.
Since 1973, the third leading cause of death among African Americans was
cancer (1,638,350). The second leading
cause of death was heart disease (2,266,789).
And the number one leading cause of death was abortion (13 million). Black women comprise 13% of the U.S. female
population (age 15-44) but they have undergone 36% of all U.S. abortions. Black women are more than five times more
likely than white women to have an abortion (Alan Guttmacher Institute). No wonder Clenard Childress says, “The most dangerous place for an African-American
is in the womb.”
Were Margaret Sanger alive
today she would be very pleased to know
that some have estimated nearly 16 million black women have had abortions since
1973. On average, 1,876 black babies are
aborted every day in the United States.
“Since the number of current living blacks (in the U.S.) is 36 million,
the missing 16 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion,
America’s Black community would now number 52 million persons. It would be 36 % larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black
community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member.” (Michael Novak, noted theologian and author quoted
by Mychal Massie in his article Congressional
Black Caucus Sold Their Souls)
The unborn Black babies had
an advocate in Jesse Jackson back in the 1970’s during the Roe v. Wade
debate. “If it is growing, it is
living,” Jackson said, “…What happens to
the mind of a person, and the moral fabric of a nation, that accepts the
aborting of the life of a baby without a pang of conscience? What kind of a
person, and what kind of a society will we have 20 years hence if life can be
taken so casually?” But by 1988, perhaps
after the checks started coming in from Planned Parenthood, Reverend Jackson
was no longer an advocate for life, “It is not right to impose private,
religious and moral positions on public policy,” he declared.
Do thirteen million murders
constitute genocide? The U.S. Supreme Court
approved a social system set up by the U.S .Government that is doubtlessly destroying
families. What the government funds the
government controls. Ironically,
poverty has only increased since LBJ declared his war on poverty back in the
1960's. Billions of dollars have been
delegated to social welfare programs enabling the government control over the
masses, a fact supported by Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams, two black
philosophers and professors. Both
declare that blacks will experience genocide if they cannot be freed from the
welfare plantations the government has put them on.
Is it fair to call it
genocide? The decision to abort still
rests with the young black females who have been taught a worldview that
diminishes the value of human life. Sadly,
many have embraced the idea that abortion is a viable way to avoid the
consequences of an unwanted pregnancy and many have never read the words in
Deuteronomy 30:19 “…I have set before
you life and death, blessing and cursing; therefore choose life, that both you
and your descendants may live.”
