February is Black History Month in the United States, so it seems appropriate to point out a common evil: abortions are disproportionately carried out on babies with disabilities and babies with black skin.
Abort73.com reports what this means in percentages and actual numbers of black children being aborted:
According to the most recent census data, black women make up 12.3% of the female population in America, but account for 35% of all U.S. abortions – that according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The Guttmacher Institute (AGI) puts the percentage of black abortions at 37% of the U.S. total. . .
Not only are black children being killed at a far greater percentage than white children, they’re being killed in greater numbers, period. Is that not shocking?! Though the white population in the U.S. outnumbers the black population five to one, abortion kills more black children than white children, every day.
And what should our response be?
John Ensor provides this endorsement of one strategy:
African-American Sylvia Johnson created a “best practice” pregnancy help clinic in Houston starting in the 1980’s. For nearly 25 years she has been quietly cross-bearing for the child-bearing. By 2033, I expect the Black Church to have opened similar clinics in the most abortion-targeted neighborhoods of our cities. Where they open, abortion businesses close (emphasis mine)—because most women resort to abortion more than choose it; and when they are provided help they choose life.
Let us find many more ways to help women and men choose life.
But Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of heaven.” Matthew 19:14
Let the little children come – all of them, including the babies with disabilities and the babies who would be born with black skin.
A couple weeks ago I posted this statistic, which I believe I found on Abort73.com website. I simply posted the statistic. Someone wrote “don’t judge. It’s between the woman and her God”. Since when is murder between a woman and her God? Oh, only when its abortion. Makes me ill. But I like how you emphasized, WHEN THEY ARE OPEN. This gives hope. It really does. It’s not judging when we say that we love all life and we want babies to live. It was wrong when they killed the Jews simply because they were Jews. Abortion is also wrong, especially considering they target the black community. I look forward to the day when I see that statistic change for the better.
