Today Al Mohler reports a trend that is starting to take hold in the Atlanta area. My prayer is that it will spread. You can read the whole thing here. In short, Catherine Davis, The Director of Minority Outreach for Georgia Right to Life, has launched a massive public awareness campaign that is starting to stick.
Abortion providers, in particular, Planned Parenthood, are being called out for targeting blacks for abortion and thereby dramatically stunting the fertility rates of the African American community. As Catherine Davis tells the New York Times, “Let me put it this way . . . 18,870,000 black babies have been aborted since Roe v. Wade. If those babies had not been aborted, we would be 59 million strong — over 19% of the population.” She goes on to say, “The more I dug into it, the more vast I found that the network was and I realized that African-American women just did not know the truth, they did not understand the truth about the abortion industry.”
Abortion has been cast by secularists as a “personal choice.” Nothing could be farther from the truth. The decision to abort a child has physical, emotional, and spiritual repercussions that do not magically disappear when a woman walks outside those clinic doors. Moreover, far from being a personal choice, it is a decision that has broad social implicatons.
How ironic that the very thinking that presents itself as founded upon the championing of individual freedom is actually leading people right into the cruel arms of bondage. Freedom? I don’t think so. As a Christian, this article is a reminder that we must resist the temptation to be molded into the world’s thinking. Let the Absolute of God’s Truth as revealed in the Bible be your compass. That is freedom!
Praise God for Catherine Davis and Al Mohler for calling attention to one of the evils of abortion. I have often thought that someone should explain the consequences that our country is suffering as a result of killing all these babies. For example, there have been over 40 million abortions since 1973. Let’s say an average of 1 million per year.The 1 million who were killed in 1973 would now be 37 years old. Most of them would have been working for several years, paying taxes, buying houses, raising kids, buying furniture, buying cars, contributing to Social Security and Medicare(who are now going broke because there aren’t enough people paying into them.)
And that’s only the babies who were aborted in1973!!!!Now, add the numbers from 1974 and every year after that. Our economy would be booming and Social Security and Medicare would be adequately funded. Even if only half of them were working because of stay-at-home mom’s etc, those born in1973, by this time would have children of their own. We would have built more schools,provided more jobs in construction,more teaching jobs,more cribs,tv’s, clothes, you name it.Every area of business would have had to expand to meet the needs of the growing population. In the Old Testament,God destroyed a nation because they were sacrificing their children to the god,Molech. We are sacrificing our children to the god of convenience. I’m afraid we are reaping what we have sown
