Black Genocide

On the recommendation of a friend, I watched a documentary called Maafa 21 the other day. Before I say anything about it, you should check out the trailer below.



The film runs about two and a half hours, but it's well worth your time. What you'll learn is that Planned Parenthood, the primary abortion provider in America, was born out of the Eugenics movement in the early 20th century. Eugenics is the science of improving the genetic composition of the human race. The Nazis pursued the science of Eugenics in their obsession with creating the master race, and we are all familiar with the horrifying results for 6 million Jews in their concentration camps.

What you may not know is that the Nazi Eugenics movement was aided by American Eugenicists who were closely associated with Margaret Sanger, the founder of the American Birth Control League, which later became Planned Parenthood. In America, the Eugenics movement directly targeted African-Americans, with claims that the black race was inherently inferior to the white race. The Eugenicists taught that the growth and propagation of the black race should be controlled by the government for the betterment of the human race.

Various attempts were made to control the growth of the black race, all of them failing. The final solution, so to speak, was the legalization of abortion in 1973. Before that time, most abortions were performed on white women. Since then, as you'll see in the film, black women have become nearly 5 times more likely than white women to have an abortion.

I live in Columbus, OH, where there are 4 metro area Planned Parenthood locations. All four locations are within a five mile radius of downtown Columbus, where the black population is much higher than in other parts of the city. There is no Planned Parenthood in Westerville (87% white), Worthington (91% white), New Albany (86% white), or Dublin (79% white but less than 2% black). Compare those numbers to Columbus proper (where 3 of the 4 centers exist) which has a 28% black population, and Whitehall (which has the fourth center) with a 29% black population.

It's no wonder that abortion is being called black genocide. It's becoming clear to me that abortion is not simply about women and their reproductive rights; it's about the extermination of the black race. The history of Planned Parenthood is every bit as racist as the KKK. Abortion providers are targeting poor, black women and their unborn children. They may see what they do as a service to the community, but the reality is that they are ending lives in the womb, and those lives are disproportionately black.

Abortion is the most horrendous evil that has ever been unleashed upon mankind. Not only is it the greatest injustice on the face of the earth, but in this country it is specifically targeted at African-Americans.

I believe that, one day, we will win the war on abortion. This cannot go on forever. Perhaps a key step toward that victory is uncovering the racist roots of legalized abortion and the racial targeting by abortion providers. God help us.

Ancient Voices

Perhaps you’ve seen the Planned Parenthood “sting” video on youtube. If you haven’t, you should watch it now. It’s horribly disturbing.

Abortion is quite a telling element of our society. Approximately a quarter of all American pregnancies are prematurely and willfully terminated in an abortion clinic. Pregnancy in America has become, in many ways, the most unwanted “side-effect” of sexual activity. Our own president, Barack Obama, once infamously said that he wouldn’t want his daughters “punished with a baby” for having premarital sex.

Clearly we live in a culture where we desperately want sex without pregnancy. We have even created sociological constructs about sexual orientation that define us, at our very core, based on who we most enjoy having sex with. In fact, I would argue that this concept of orientation has become the definitive measure of sex rather than the natural purpose of sex, which is to propagate the human race. For many Americans, sex is about pleasure (and possibly love), but not about procreation. This seems like a rather bizarre, even anti-scientific belief. But it is pervasive.

I wonder what other cultures might have to say about this. I wonder, even, how the women of the Bible would respond to our culture’s pregnancy-phobia. What would women like Sarah, Rachel, and Hannah—all of whom knew intimately the heartbreak of barrenness—say to our 25% abortion rate? For so many today, pregnancy is a curse; it is a problem easily solved with a “medical procedure”. But these women considered themselves cursed because of their barrenness. We seek to avoid pregnancy at all costs, but they considered it their greatest joy and highest honor.

Perhaps these ancient women have something to teach us: That pregnancy is an honor and a privilege, not an unwanted side-effect of sexual pleasure or, Mr. President, a “punishment”. You may criticize me because I’m a man and have no right to speak about such things. Perhaps you’re right. But I’m trying to give voice to ancient women of great faith and hope in God, and I believe their voices are vital for today, not only to renew the soul of our culture, but also to save the lives of humans that might otherwise be discarded.

A Message

I must get this e-mail once a week. It comes from a local clinic that helps women in difficult pregnancies find alternatives to abortion. The e-mail I get is a prayer list, asking me to pray for these anonymous women and their unborn children. This week there were 14 women on the list, which is pretty much typical. As I scanned the requests it occurred to me that each of these women represented a human being who could be dead within two months. All of them are considering abortion, and to carry through on that choice would mean that their unborn babies would die.

What would you do if you received a message telling you that 14 people you do not know and will never meet could very well be dead before Christmas? I don't know that I've ever thought of it like that before. I stopped in my tracks. I was overwhelmed. Here were 14 real human beings, fully alive, unknowingly facing the prospect of being killed in a matter of weeks; and that by the choice of the only person they've ever known.

I don't know how anything has ever been more unjust than abortion. I really don't. It used to make me angry, but now I just get sad. I'm sad that evangelicalism is trending away from this issue. I'm sad that something so clearly immoral has become so irreparably political. I'm sad that a lot of humans never get the chance to know what it's like to breathe the air. I'm praying for these 14, that they will live to, quite literally, see the light of day.

Most Holy God, you are the Author and Creator of life. We bear your image by the mere fact of our existence. You have established the order of this world, including the method of procreation. You have knit each of us together in the wombs of our mothers. But millions are the souls who cry out from under your altar--the weakest of the weak, the smallest of the small, the truly forgotten and discarded. Their blood testifies against us. Bring justice for them, O God. Bring justice for the very least of all. Cause your Church to rise and remember, to engage and throw down this greatest of all evils. Tear down the idols of our hearts, and take your rightful place on your throne once again, O Great King of all. Amen.

Abortion Survivors--Who Knew?

I came across an interesting case of a child who has survived an abortion. I've heard that this sort of thing happens regularly. I wonder why it's never reported on? You would think that abortion survivors would make a great thinkpiece in the NY Times. (If the NY Times has done an article on abortion survivors, I will gladly eat my sarcastic words.) But, alas, there are other, more important things to report on, like Anna Nicole Smith, Paris Hilton, Brittany Spears--you know, the things that truly matter in life.
25% of American pregnancies end in abortion. 25%! Would you live in a town with a 25% murder rate? Would you send your kids to a school where 1 in 4 will be killed? Would you participate in an activity that killed a quarter of its participants? Would the military consider a battle a success if it took on 25% casualties. (Think of the media outrage over that one!) Is there any more dangerous place to be in America than in your mother's womb?
