“For violence against your brother Jacob,
Shame shall cover you,
And you shall be cut off forever.
In the day that you stood on the other side –
In the day that strangers carried captive his forces,
Even as you were one of them.
But you should not have gazed on the day of your brother
In the day of his captivity.
Indeed, you should not have gazed on their affliction
In the day of their calamity.”
Obadiah 10-13
I admit it. I was once pro-choice. I was the one who said, “I would never choose abortion, but I certainly can’t tell another woman what to do with her own body.” Ignorance.
However, for years I have considered myself pro-life – wanting so desperately to become involved in the struggle to defend the unborn, and soon realizing the need to also protect human life outside the womb.
It was not until 2007, however, that I learned about racism in the pro-choice community. While the act of abortion is color-blind, the marketing of abortion services (and birth control) is indeed targeted to the African American population.
The Alan Guttmacher Institute reports that one in four pregnancies ends in abortion. But in the Black Community, fifty-percent of the pregnancies end in abortion. Statistically, a black woman is 5 times more likely to abort her child than a white woman. And this is not happenstance. This was a “planned,” strategic move by those at the top of the abortion movement. Leaders like Margaret Sanger, Alan Guttmacher, Lathrop Stoddard, and others – former directors of Planned Parenthood – are all linked to the American Eugenics Society, the Nazi movement, and racism.
The Life Dynamics documentary, Maafa 21, has opened the eyes of many Americans to the continued persecution of the Black Community. or those who have viewed the film, the tangled web of deception woven by the American Eugenics Society will not soon be forgotten. But the questions remains – what are we doing about it?
The verse above illustrates God’s anger concerning the people of Edom and their negligence in protecting Israel from Nebuchadnezzar’s army. Edom watched, without sorrow, as the people of Judah, their brothers and sisters, were taken captive. Rather than helping to defend the nation, they stood silently – and some even assisted Nebuchadnezzar – as their neighboring people were destroyed. In this Scripture, I am reminded of our own negligence. re we going to let leaders like Dr. Alveda King stand alone in the fight to protect the Black Community? We have watched over 13 million African American children die since 1973. Nearly 1/3 of the community has been destroyed. God makes clear his desire for us to care for our brother. Are we listening?
Oh Heavenly Father, thank you for the awesome gift of life and life eternal. Forgive us for neglecting to protect those in need, for remaining silent when we are called to be salt and light. Help us to expose the lies of those who are against You and Your people. Please change the hearts of those promoting abortion and the Culture of Death, for you are a God of Life.
In Jesus name we pray, Amen.
