National Day of Mourning
"Tears stream from our eyes because of the destruction of our people!" — (Lamentations 3:48)

On Monday, February 28th, 2011 in


response to the continued epidemic
of abortion in the Black community
and the recent revelations of Black
Philadelphia Abortionist Kermit
Gosnell's house of abortion horrors,
a National Day of Mourning has
been called into being by the National Black Pro-Life Coalition. All across
the country, Americans are invited to mourn the loss of over 55 million
babies killed by the Supremely wicked Supreme Court decisions of legalized
abortion, known as Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton. Join us as we gather to
mourn the loss of life and the wounding of women by the violent act of
"choice". Click here for more information.

Black Children Are An Endangered Species


"The most dangerous place for an African American to be is in the womb of his or her African American
mother." — Dr. Clenard H. Childress, (Black Genocide Project)

According to the Alan Guttmacher


Institute (AGI), Black Americans
account for 30% 1 of all abortions
nationwide, even though the racial
group only comprises 13% 2 of the
population. In New York City alone,
Black Americans in 2008 had
1,260 abortions for every 1,000 live births, clearly modeling a race in
decline. 3 With so many resources available to women and men facing
unexpected pregnancies, and incredible life-affirming options like parenthood
and adoption, there's no reason why anyone (98% of cases are due to
personal choice, not medical/health reasons) 4 has to resort to destruction by
abortion. Currently the Issues4Life Foundation is partnering with the
Radiance Foundation and the Pro-Life community in Los Angeles to
sponsor seventy (70) of these billboards in the city of the angels. To learn

What Has Happened To Our Society?


"I am not willing to — allow this concept of expendable human lives to turn this great land of ours into just another
exclusive reservation where only the perfect, the privileged, and the planned have the right to live." — Dr. Mildred F.
Jefferson, M.D. (1926 -2010), American pro-life pioneer and American Life League (ALL) Board Member

My friend Ryan Bomberger, CEO of


the Radiance Foundation 5 , whose
biological mother was raped yet still
went through nine (9) months of
pregnancy to give him life. Ryan was
adopted at six (6) weeks of age and
grew up in a loving, multi-racial
family of fifteen (15). My brother in Christ is a strong champion for the pre-
born and recently waxed eloquent when he said: "Abolitionists didn't settle
for slavery reduction; many risked their reputations and their very lives to call
for the end of a system of human degradation, not its continuation through
appeasement and mutual understanding. Oh, what happens to a society that
can't even act against the most blatant form of evil?" Awesome question
Ryan! Such leads me to seriously reflect upon the Church and ask my own
question: What has happened to the Body of Christ that she can't act, in
concert, against the most blatant form of evil?

Brothers, we really need to talk.
