What is the leading cause of death for African-Americans?

It’s not heart disease. It’s not cancer. It’s abortion.

40% of pregnancies among African-American women end in abortion. Minorities make up just 13% of the US population but account for 36% of all abortions conducted. Last fall, CNS reported on a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention:

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 for black Americans that year.

Today, Ericka Andersen wrote an article at Smart Girl Nation about abortion and the black community. She reminded me of a documentary that I saw several months ago about the black genocide in America, Maafa 21. The entire documentary can be viewed on YouTube.

What abortion fans have hidden is the devastating effect of abortion on the black community. I think it’s pretty well known that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood, viewed abortion as a way to eliminate African-Americans, the poor and disabled from society. It was only after WWII and the connection between Hitler and eugenics that leaders changed the name from the American Birth Control League to Planned Parenthood.

Planned Parenthood and other abortion providers disproportionately target the black neighborhoods. It’s encouraging to see the Black community fight back. Across the country, Maafa 21 is being screened at college campuses this month at Black History Month events.

This week, abortion fans revealed their true colors with the Tim Tebow ad in the most overblown “crisis!” ever. Their reaction shows that they don’t want a true and honest debate about abortion or even proactive discussions on how to decrease it. For inexplicable reasons, these women will not even tolerate the briefest hint that life is an option when it comes to unplanned or high-risk pregnancies and blindly fight to ensure that women only abort.

It’s time for Christians, regardless of race, to band together and fight this genocide. I don’t care what political party you belong to. Watch Maafa 21 online and tell me that you aren’t disgusted by what has happened to the black community.
