Why I March for Life

February 2, 2017

 

 

This time last week I was preparing to participate with nearly 1 million people, including my three children and my BFF Jen her children and nephew, 

in the 44th annual March for Life from the grassy knoll of the Washington DC Monument to the steps of the Supreme Court to protest the January 1973 Supreme Court case of Roe v. Wade.

The Court case ruling allowed for the legalization of abortion on demand.  Last year in the blizzard of 2016, over 650,000 folks braved the snow, ice and freezing temperature to defend Life. To my horror, I have learned since then over 55 million abortion procedures have happened, over 35% of women having brown or black skin with over "78% of the largest abortion provider of Planned Parenthood clinics" are located in Urban neighborhoods.

"The Most Dangerous Place for an African-American is in the Womb."

~ Pastor Clenard Childress, Jr.

 

It was Margaret Sanger, the founder of the American Birth Control League (ABCL), the forerunner organization Planned Parenthood, who advocated for the policy of eugenics. Merriam-Webster defines Eugenics as: "a science that tries to improve the human race by controlling which people become parents."  Margaret was one of 11 children in the Sanger family. Clearly, growing up in a large family had a deep impact on her and her worldview. In her autobiographical book, "My Fight for Birth Control,"  Sanger writes that "I associated poverty, toil, unemployment, drunkenness, cruelty, quarreling, fighting, debts, jails with large families."   You can read more about Sanger's background {*warning graphic content on website*} here and here.

 

 

 

Sanger's written publications on eugenics and forced sterilization were the same mindset of German Chancellor Adolf Hitler and his decisions to implement his version of wiping out an ethnic group of people, the Jews, with his "Final Solution" policy leading to World War II.

 

Here is a recent Facebook message that a relative sent to me: "Honestly at times, this is how I feel when you post things about Pro-Life and call yourself a "Christian". If so many people that are pro-life really were, there would be no homelessness, hungry children, children in the foster system or waiting to be adopted. Just think about it."

 

Here is my response to her comments: "If everyone followed the TEN COMMANDMENTS we wouldn't be having this discussion. Not everyone that calls themselves a "Christian" is a Christ-follower. We agree on that point. Especially African-Americans when over 35% of the abortions are of brown black women, over 42 MILLION. Just think of *all* the amazing things *our* people could have accomplished, but we will never know now. 42 MILLION of *us* --- gone --- 42 MILLION that could have voted, clothed the poor, fed the hungry, been foster parents. 42 MILLION - think about it...

 

I am not the one that you should be frustrated with. If you are right in your world-view, then when it is time to stand before God, then you can explain to Him how you felt and what you did about the situation and be ok. But, if you are wrong in your worldview, and if you have ever been wrong on Bible-based issues here on Earth, then you need to be prepared for His Just Mercy, whatever that may be. I do too. The Bible says that we are made in His image, taking an innocent life or not supporting Pro-Life, should greatly concern one in this life and in the life to come. One cannot go wrong when they support life."

 

IT IS OUR DUTY AS CHRISTIANS TO SPEAK UP FOR THE UNBORN
