“During Black History Month, we celebrate our history, but our future is in jeopardy as a
genocidal plot is carried out through abortion,” said Life Always Board Member Pastor Stephen
Broden.
"We have seen the heartbreaking effects of opportunists who happen to be Black Abortionists
perpetrating this atrocity; it’s not just babies who are in danger, it’s also their mothers, and our
society at large,” he added.
The campaign launch is designed to raise public awareness of Planned Parenthood’s targeting
of minority neighborhoods. It comes just weeks after the city health department’s annual Vital
Statistics report revealed a 41 percent abortion rate - nearly twice the national average. Planned
Parenthood's annual report states that they perform 300,000+ abortions annually.
"This campaign highlights the tragedy that abortion is the number one killer since 1973 in the
black community and the truth that we must confront in a city with a near 60 percent abortion rate
for black women," said Life Always Board Member Rev. Derek McCoy.
The campaign points to the Website www.thatsabortion.com which features recent Census
and Centers for Disease Control data showing that African Americans constitute about 13 percent
of the American population, yet receive 36 percent of abortions.
