Sexual promiscuity is said to be rampant among our youth as is the explosion of violence. Since Roe v. Wade legalized abortion in 1973, thirty million babies have perished. Ten million, approximately one in three, have been African-American. If there is ever a question of genocide in our community, let me share with you some facts. 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.
