Abortion is not a black issue or a white issue, it is a life and death issue which transcends all skin color. Black Americans as a people should know and remember that Blacks in this country have been sustained by the power of prayer and obedience to God's word. We need to get back to basics and cut away the fluff that gives a false and hollow sense of achievement. We need to humble ourselves and ask God for forgiveness for not following Christ's example. God commanded us to teach our children and our children's children about Him.
Teaching is done through the spoken word as well as by the living example.
Lessons must begin in the home, and then reinforced in the church and in society. Too many of our parents have abdicated their roles as front-line teachers, allowing secular government to have its run of things. We then wonder why our children are having children. To counteract this, we need to encourage our religious leaders to address the issue squarely, lead the church family to pray, and develop sound biblical alternatives to abortion. Every year there are approximately 440,000 Black American babies aborted in the United States.
