"In our present social context, marked by a dramatic struggle between the culture of life and the culture of death, there is need to develop a deep critical sense capable of discerning true values and authentic needs." Pope John Paul II
Tuesday was the start of 40 days for life, September 24 - Novemeber 2. Together, for these 40 days, we can pray for an end to abortion, and end to womens suffering, and an end to the suffering of our future. Remember, prayer is stronger in numbers. The website 40 Days For Life gives some examples of what you can do to help. Wether it be going into a community and having people sign a door-to-door petition, prayer and fasting (not only from food but something that will let you spend time with God instead of doing,) praying outside a planned parenthood center, and/or the daily devotionals. Enjoy the website and I want to thank everyone for doing their part! May God bless you all with this very special journey.
In 1991 Troy Davis was sent to jail for the murder of an off duty police officer, even though there was no physical evidence. He has been on death row, in Georgia, and his execution was scheduled for yesterday, September 23rd. A couple of hours before Davis was to be killed, the U.S. Supreme Court granted him stay to figure out if they were to hear his appeal. The decision will be made by Monday, Septemeber 29th, but if they decide against the appeal, a new execution date will be made.
"Several years ago, when 17,000 aborted babies were found in a dumpster outside a pathology laboratory in Los, Angeles, California, some 12-15,000 were observed to be black." - Erma Clardy Craven
Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions.
According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, black women are more than 5 times as likely as white women to have an abortion
On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted every day in the United States.
This incidence of abortion has resulted in a tremendous loss of life. It has been estimated that since 1973 Black women have had about 16 million abortions. Michael Novak had calculated "Since the number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.) is 36 million, the missing 16 million represents an enormous loss, for without abortion, America's Black community would now number 52 million persons. It would be 36 percent larger than it is. Abortion has swept through the Black community like a scythe, cutting down every fourth member."
A highly significant 1993 Howard University study showed that African American women over age 50 were 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer if they had had any abortions compared to women who had not had any abortions.
Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in America. 78% of their clinics are in minority communities. Blacks make up 12% of the population, but 35% of the abortions in America. Are we being targeted? Isn't that genocide? We are the only minority in America that is on the decline in population. If the current trend continues, by 2038 the black vote will be insignificant. Did you know that the founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, was a devout racist who created the Negro Project designed to sterilize unknowing black women and others she deemed as undesirables of society? The founder of Planned Parenthood said, "Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated." Is her vision being fulfilled today?
This is an informational blog, I am using this as a tool to bring people together to educate on the culture of life. The Culture of life was a phrase coined by Pope John Paul II, "The culture of life means respect for nature and protection of God's work of creation. In a special way, it means respect for human life from the first moment of conception until its natural end."
This blog will touch on the facts of: Abortion, Euthanasia, Embryonic (emphasis on embryonic) stem cell research, Capital Punishment, and contraceptives.
