Would You Let Them Channing On Your Tatum?
'The Voice' Crowns Its Winner
The image of a black baby and the words: "Black Children Are an Endangered Species" are prominently displayed on an ad in Atlanta as part of a campaign conducted by anti-abortion advocates.
The campaign comes at a time when statistics show that black women account for 37 percent of abortions, compared with 34 percent of non-Hispanic white women and 22 percent of Hispanic women, according to Mary Mitchell, the Chicago Sun-Times columnist, who cites a study by the Guttmacher Institute.
Single women who have never been married receive two-thirds of all abortions, and the age range of those more likely to receive one is between 18 to 24. Most are either separated or unmarried and have annual incomes of less than $15,000 or have Medicaid, Mitchell writes, citing statistics from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
The effort is being led by a group of black ministers, a mission Mitchell sees as a misguided endeavor. "While I applaud the black ministers who are leading the charge to educate black women about the alarming abortion rate,'' she writes, "these men are failing to address the root of the problem.
"How often are men urged from the pulpit to practice safe sex?" she asked. "Where are the billboards that urge black men to marry their baby's mamas so these women see their children as blessings and not mistakes?''

Why are we against black women or any women haveing abortions. Its about time women stop haveing unwanted babies by these men that dose not want to be father's. We should be talking about easier ways to have abortion like a pill, something that is less painful. Congraduations to all the women that are make the right choices. I would rather have a shortes of the black population then to have to many unmarried, single family and unwanted black children. So thank you black women. I love you all.

Abortion is murder. Murder is a sin. One out of three women having an abortion is African American.That is unbelievable. Life begins at conception. The human body was designed by God to produce. If you are having sex regarless of using contraceptive prgenancy is bound to happen. If you are not married then premariage sex is fornication and a sin. What if your mother has aborted you. What if Obama mother had aborted him he would not be the President of the United States. Get married then you can have sex and bring kids up in a traditional family.

I am definately in agreement about the so-called Moral clergy addressing the abortion problem wholisitcally, but a woman who understands the sacredness of life, would be much less likely to obtain an abortion even if her baby's dad was a dead beat or even a rapist. I would even wager that a woman who hates abortion would be more likely to be selective about who she shares her sacred body with!

Liars. They are not concerned about black babies. They are anti-health care. All I can say is that those black babies had better be born healthy, parents that have insurance, are, be prepared to die quickly, because the politicians are being paid to ditch the healthcare bill.
Why the concern for black babies now, after preaching for years that black women have baby after baby so that the mother can stay on the welfare rolls. Which is it?
Ps; What's up with this site, they will not let you post, unless you agree with them. I have been trying to post for some time now.

Black children are an endangered species, but not to abortion but by police beatings,unavailable healthcare,males who dont want to be fathers and strange boyfriends around our children, and predators. Black women are not killing their babies,it is no longer a stigma to be unwed or have babies out of wedlock. We as a community have our kids, with or without help. Less women are chosing to have children because we can bearly make it on our own, we need not another to put in peril. The grandmothers, aunts and so forth have raised their children it is not their job to raise our kids knowing we didnt need to have one and we can't do for ourselves. I would rather wait than to have an unwanted, uncared for unloved child; its not murder its common sense. Our pastors daughter a teen had twins, unmarried, out of wedlock and nothing was said. Was it shameful? maybe, but non the less it was done. We are not killing our children, others are but we AGAIN need to be in the spotlight for something we aren't even doing. Foreigners are having as many as they want and no one says one word about that, they dont use birthcontrol, nothing! But it is acceptable, and we pay the price, welfare, SSI are depleting because of them. I would rather an American Black woman have the aid than someone who hasn't even contributed to this country getting what my taxes are taken away. We have no funds for these over priced procedures but, the others do. Its time Black women stand up and tell the media and these other jack**** to stay out of our business and run their own homes. Obviously, your trying to use the black community to gloss over your failures, ignorance and stupidity.

THOSE PRO LIFE PEOPLE ARE EXTREME NUT JOBS. THEY DON'T WANT WOMEN TO HAVE ABORTIONS BUT THEY WILL GO AND BLOW UP AN ABORTION CLINIC KILLING ALL PEOPLE INSIDE.
IF YOU BRING A CHILD INTO THE WORLD AND YOU CAN'T AFFORD TO TAKE CARE OF THAT CHILD THE PRO LIFE NUT CASES DON'T WANT YOU TO SEEK OUT ANY KIND OF ASSISTANCE FROM THE GOVERNMENT TO HELP WITH YOUR CHILD. OH NO....DON'T DO THAT!
THE PRO LIFE NUTS DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE HEALTH CARE FOR YOUR CHILDREN. THEY TALK ABOUT NO ABORTIONS BUT WHEN THE CHILD IS HERE AND IN NEED OF HEALTH CARE...THEY SAY "NO" LET'S NOT MAKE HEALTH CARE AFFORDABLE FOR YOUR CHILDREN. NO LET'S NOT DO THAT. THEY SAY SO WHAT IF YOUR CHILD IS SICK...WHO CARES. THEN THEY SIT ON THEIR A$$E$ AND SAY YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE BROUGHT A CHILD INTO THE WORLD IF YOU COULDN'T AFFORD IT OR THEY SAY ALL OF THOSE SINGLE MOTHERS ARE ON WELFARE. THEY COMPLAIN AND COMPLAIN THAT THEY DON'T WANT THEIR TAX DOLLARS GOING TO TAKE CARE OF SOMEONE ELSE'S CHILDREN. THESE ARE ALL THE THINGS THEY SAY WHEN YOU BRING A CHILD INTO THE WORLD AND YOU ARE NOT ABLE TO TAKE OF THE CHILD BY YOURSELF.
THE REASON THEY DON'T WANT YOU TO HAVE AN ABORTION IS SO THEY CAN HAVE THEIR RACIST COP BUDDIES SHOOT UNARMED YOUNG BLACK MEN OR BEAT THEM TO DEATH...AND THEN THE WHITE COP WALKS AWAY FREE AS A BIRD.
IN OTHER WORDS THEY ARE SAYING DON'T HAVE AN ABORTION...LET'S US BEAT OR KILL YOUR CHILDREN, IT'S OUR SPORT.
PRO LIFERS = TEA BAGGERS = REPUBLICANS

1. Abortion hurts women black and white.Most regret their abortions (silent no more). Not all but some women suffer emotionally for years afterwards. Women are more likely to commit suicide after an abortion. There are studies that show it increases risks in future wanted pregnancies of miscarriage and pre term labor.
2. In Atlanta last year over 35000 babies were aborted. 21000 of those babies were black. The story fails to mention. So black women become pregnant at a rate of 1.5 times others and or 3 times more likely to abort.
3. I agree that marriage should be promoted in the black community before pregnancy not as a result of.
4. If you choose abortion, know that most women have anniversary triggers. They wonder what the child would be like and they are aware of how old their child or children would be if they had chosen life.
5. Adoption is stigmatized in this country. Though God favors adoption and we Gentiles are not his chosen people but are adopted into the body of Christ and inherit the same salvation.
6. The most dangerous place for a black baby is inside it's abortion minded mother's womb. Abortion is currently a choice. a regrettable one. Women are misinformed. Choose life. My people perish form a lack of knowledge. Wake-up. It effects the men too. And family.
7. There is healing and forgiveness.
8. That women loses a part of herself as well.

You know it is a good thing that your mama and other mamas did not feel that way about the fruit of their wombs, because if they did, then alot of beautiful people and ideas would not have come forth.
