Staggering numbers

In 2011, a billboard was placed in New York City which featured a young African-American girl with the statement, “The most dangerous place for an African-American is in the womb.”

The billboard remained in place only a week, for although it was placed there by an organization headed by African-American men, it was condemned as racist and shaming to African-American women.

According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control, approximately 306,313 African- Americans have died as a result of violent crime since 1973, while over 13 million have died as a result of abortion (one out of every four pregnancies).

Abortion legislation (which President Obama proudly supports) has promoted and supported more deaths than guns, knives or gangs.

Recently, Obama appeared at a press conference to express his opinion of the Trayvon Martin trial outcome. He said he could have been Trayvon.

Yes, Obama could have been Trayvon, but I suggest it is more likely that he could have been one of the precious babies whose lives were taken through the abortion he supports.
