To date, the real “Race Card” has not been played. But because this one is bona fide, it can alter the upcoming presidential election. So many race cards are phony, and ooze of past pressure to keep Blacks in one party. But few Blacks talk about this one. It’s authentically a race card. And, it makes a huge difference in elections. Have you heard any race card used with “abortion”?
Since the Roe vs. Wade decision (1973), black women have had 15 million abortions. Of all abortions, 37% are performed on Black women, even though they make up only 12% of the population. More than 400,000 black babies were killed by abortion last year alone. The abortion rate for Blacks is 3x that of Whites, and 60% of Blacks that do become pregnant, will have an abortion (White/LifeNews).
Per Steven Ertelt (LifeNews), “…the niece of the Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., says the real quiet storm[for Blacks] revolves around the issue of abortion.” That niece, Dr. Alveda King, says that while all Democrat presidential nominees are pro-abortion, Barack Obama is ignoring the major problem for Blacks. King also states that if MLK Jr. was alive today, he’d be marching right along side those in ‘pro-life’ marches. The writer was there with Dr. King when she made the previous statement on the Supreme Court steps. “The great irony” she said, “is that abortion has done what the Klan only dreamed of.”
Senator Obama talks about the “quiet riots” emanating from the Black community, but he doesn’t know from where it comes. Per Ertelt, “Seventeen million black babies have been killed by abortion, and the cries of those children, their mothers, and their families are what Senator Obama is hearing.” All told, Dr. King says roughly one quarter of the Black population is missing due to the genocide of abortion.Day Gardner (President/National Black Pro-Life Union), during Black History Month(2/07) said, “Abortion has become the #1 killer of black people in this country—killing more African Americans than accidents, heart disease, strokes, crimes, HIV/AIDS and all other deaths…COMBINED! If we stand up to this horrific practice…we shall overcome this, too.”
From one poll (August 04/Pace University) 54% of all Americans said they are pro-life, while 44% said they supported legal abortion. But Black voters took a pro-life position by a larger 59 to 42% margin.
But what millions don’t seem to realize, are several crucial facts. 1)The largest abortion practitioner in the US is Planned Parenthood (“PP”). 2)Abortion facilities of “PP” are concentrated in poor areas where the Black population is easily targeted. 3)Margaret Sanger, who founded “PP” (1948), had as her goal the control and subjugation of the poor ethnic peoples, including Blacks. 4)Sanger actively pursued negative eugenics--the attempt to reduce the propagation of those considered unfit. 5)After founding “PP”, Sanger began the work of legalizing abortion and spreading birth control throughout the world. 6)Since 1948, a drastic program on population control has been in place, yet world population growth is scheduled to start to decline in 2020 (www.worldonline).
From the above, everyone should be able to “connect the dots”. Information from Paul Jalsevac (e.g., “The Inherent Racism of Population Control”) is must reading for anyone who doubts these facts. Recently, Dr. Tessa Chelouche (Clait Health Services/ Israel) has recently published an account of the Nazi use of abortion, euthanasia, and sterilization to eliminate groups they deemed ‘inferior stock’. If one reads Hitler’s 1942 policy statement on the application of abortion, it’s chillingly similar to modern “PP”—Sanger’s creation. Sanger also expressed a similar objective about eliminating Blacks in a letter she wrote only months after Hitler’s invasion of Poland.
Many Americans probably remember one of Sanger’s more famous slogans: “more from the fit, less from the unfit”. It’s likely that Dr. Alveda King said it best: “If the dream of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., is to live, our babies must live.”
Bottom line, if more Blacks increased their priority on ‘life’, voted for the party that would stop federal funding of “PP”, they would overcome this massive discrimination. A highly successful 2004 Ohio campaign that focused on young Blacks and abortion, gave Bush 17% of the Black vote. It’s good to wonder what 30% of the Black vote going for the ‘pro-life’ candidate would do. One thing for sure, more lives would be saved.
