Lamenting the news early this year that "the number of abortions performed in Illinois reached a 10-year high in 2008," Chicago Auxiliary Bishop Joseph Perry describes in a written statement/talk how the black community in general has been profoundly affected by abortion.
Bishop Perry, who is African-American, writes:
"Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC. During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined. These were the seven leading causes of death charted for black Americans that year."
Bishop Perry asserts that "African Americans have a keen understanding of civil rights and are often hard-pressed to be found on the opposite side of an argument for" moral issues such as abortion and same-sex marriage.
Still, abortion "is a topic essentially kept hush-hush in the black community, defying the often quoted mantra that black families are welcoming of their children, all children, anybody's children, legitimate and illegitimate."

Quote from above: "Still, abortion "is a topic essentially kept hush-hush in the black community." Why?
Republicans have been speaking against it for years. Black people, we need to stop being silent about this wrong just because Republicans speak out against it. The silence is no more than pride. Pride cometh before a fall. Our race is becoming extinct because of black pride. Black pride is killing our precious unborn children. Shame on us! We must speak up, especially in the churches! What's wrong with our black pastors? Tell me.. What's on earth is wrong with them?
Blacks who have no problem with black babies being aborted aren't any better than members of the KKK who want the same thing. In fact, they're much worst. How can a mother destroy her own flesh and blood? God, help us to see the truth before it's too late.
Abortion is A Racist tool. Just watch the documentary Maafa21 Black Genocide in 21st Century America to see how this has been used and why it was implemented to begin with. Get a preview of Maafa21 here: http://www.maafa21.com
