Yesterday, America celebrated a federal holiday in honour of Martin Luther King Jr, the famous civil rights activist. While most people used the day to celebrate his legacy of nonviolent activism against racial discrimination, Planned Parenthood decided to co-opt him to promote abortion.

The Planned Parenthood Action twitter account, the activist arm of America’s largest abortion provider, posted a number of times about Martin Luther King Jr day, but the most noticeable was when it claimed that the “fight for racial justice, economic equity, & reproductive freedom are undeniably intertwined.”

Martin Luther King Jr’s niece, the pro-life activist Dr Alveda King, was quick to slam Planned Parenthood for using her uncle’s legacy to promote abortion. “To dishonor a prophet by raising a political banner which supports killing innocent babies on MLK’s birthday is so inhuman,” she said. “To dishonor a prophet by raising a political banner on his birthday is so inhumane.”

“20th century skin color race card inflammation will not solve crimes against humanity; including abortion, human trafficking, modern slavery, oppression,” she went on. “MLK did not serve politics. He didn’t serve government. He served God. We are not color blind; we are one human race; one blood, created in living color.”

Abortion leading cause of deaths for African-Americans

Many have pointed out the awful irony of Planned Parenthood using a civil rights leader to promote abortion, when they are responsible for the deaths of so many black babies. Abortion is the leading cause of death among African-Americans, and their community is affected by abortion more than any other minority – black people make up 13% of the US population, but endure 35% of abortions.

For example, in New York City, a black baby is more likely to be aborted than to be born. According to a city Health Department report released in May, between 2012 and 2016, black mothers in New York terminated 136,426 pregnancies and gave birth to 118,127 babies. By contrast, births far surpassed abortions among whites, Asians and Hispanics.

Black pro-life organizations point out that the majority of Planned Parenthood clinics are located in minority neighbourhoods. Planned Parenthood also has a long history of being associated with racism, going back to its founder, Margaret Sanger.

A Father to the Fatherless: The Moving Story of NBA Broadcaster Ernie Johnson’s Family

By Susan Michelle-Hanson
Live Action News

“There’s nothing better a dad can do than bless his son. Nothing."  Ernie Johnson, Jr.

Most know Ernie Johnson, Jr. son of Major League Baseball player and Braves announcer, Ernie Johnson, Sr. as one of the top sports host on Inside the NBA. Sharing the stage with men like Charles Barkley and Shaquille O’Neal, Johnson seems at home. But what goes on in his real home is what makes him a star.

ESPN’s E:60 – Ernie Johnson: My story tells of the Johnson family that the public never sees. From his battle with cancer to his poignant family history, the real Ernie Johnson is a hero to many–especially his wife and children.

Ernie and his wife Cheryl have have six children, four of whom are adopted. Two were adopted internationally, Michael from Romania, and Carmen from Paraguay. It is Michael who becomes the real focus of this powerful biography of Ernie and his family.

Ernie tells of feeling like he had everything: two beautiful children, a wife he loved, and a great TV gig. And then in 1990, the ABC show 20/20 rocked the Johnson’s world when the story of the 14,000 babies in Romania who were left as orphans and wards of the state, needed homes. 

As they watched the show, Cheryl said to Ernie, “We need to get one of these kids out of an orphanage in Romania.”

Cheryl went to Romania, thinking they would adopt a baby girl with no disabilities, when Michael stole her heart. He was almost three, unable to speak–and had never been outside. Cheryl says in the show:

“He was everything we said we could not accept, but I wonder how I’m going to live my life and wonder what happens to him.”

She called Ernie who said, “bring him home.”

Black Pastors: If Black Lives Matter You Can’t Vote for Pro-Abortion Hillary Clinton

By Steven Ertelt
Life News

Two leading African-American pro-life pastors say black voters should rule out voting for pro-abortion presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

Rev. Dr. Johnny Hunter says if black lives really matter then black voters will not vote for Hillary Clinton on the basis of her staunch support for unlimited abortions throughout pregnancy paid for at taxpayer expense. He says Roe vs. Wade, which Clinton strongly supports and wants to keep in place for decades more, has resulted in the abortions of 20 million African American babies.

“Blacks are clearly targeted by this practice,” Hunter says of abortion.

“In an age of political correctness and racial sensitivity how is it that Hillary Clinton proudly receives the Margaret Sanger award,” adds Rev Dr. Clenard Childress, another black pastor. He points out that Sanger stated, “colored people are like human weeds and need to be exterminated,”

“How can a person seeking the highest office in the land not be demanded to return that award back to Planned Parenthood? How can African Americans especially support such a candidate, its absurd?” Childress asks.

Childress is concerned that the ways in which abortion and the abortion industry target black women and children is often downplayed.

Rev. Childress stated, “How can you have 20 million African Americans missing directly due to abortion and have no mention of it. It would be like the Jews not mentioning the Holocaust. African American’s don’t need another entity manipulating and contorting facts to fit their political agenda. Let the people know the truth.”
