Abortion is Genocide—Especially in the Black Community

Barak Obama is considered to be one of the most pro-murder candidates to ever run for office. Strangely, the very community which looks to him with such admiration, is the same community decimated three times over by the kind of abortion policies he is so radical in advocating. The statistics below are stark evidence of a modern day genocide of a minority community in our land.

[Statistics below from—http://www.blackgenocide.org/black.html]

Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion

On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.

This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated "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 percent larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."

On a personal note— Today a wonderful Christian layman at our church, who was the father of nine, beautiful, Christian children, was buried. Each Sunday as his family filed into the Divine Service, filling an entire pew, I used to think how blessed he was to have such a wonderful family. Several of his kids are prodigies with a variety of musical instruments. They often played music during special feast days at church.

He exemplified all that is best about being a Christian father. He and his wife loved children. Each new life was God's blessing to them including one of their sons that is a special needs child. What a contrast this Christian family is in comparison to the selfishness of so many in our society who see a child as an inconvenience or a burden. May God strengthen Larry's wife and family with a continued devotion to Christ and to one another! We will all miss him. Our prayers are with his dear wife and the kids as they go through the grieving process.
