In the United States, for every three Black babies born, two are aborted. Black women are two times more likely to abort their babies than White women. The statistics from many other states are just as appalling. Women of African descent are more likely than any other women of color in this country to abort their babies. In our pursuit of education and careers, often with relationships in which there is no equal sense of commitment, we have sacrificed our most precious commodity, our children.
Abortion breeds an attitude, a cultural response that devalues our children.
Our children have turned society's attitude upon themselves, and the results have been devastating. Let us, in pursuit of who we are, recognize that God created each of us to fulfill a divine purpose. I must reconnect with my Creator in order that He might reveal to me my life's work and give me a vision to fulfill it. I must seek His forgiveness for those past hurts and painful choices. I must also forgive myself and allow His healing to truly liberate me.
