“In New York City, for every 1,000 black babies born alive, 1,489 are aborted. In Washington, D.C. for every 100 black babies born alive, 165 are aborted! Something is wrong!”
Alveda King of Priests for Life, another billboard co-sponsor, remains unconvinced. She says Margaret Sanger, who founded Planned Parenthood, was a proponent of eugenics.
“It’s outrageous that Margaret Sanger’s Negro Project to control the birth rate of blacks is alive and thriving today because so many black leaders have sold their constituents the lie that abortion is the key to emancipating African-American women,” said King. “Abortion kills babies and hurts women and families. These pro-abortion voices are not the voices of black America.”
Atlanta billboard: Pro-choice civil rights leaders ‘betray’ black community
According to the billboard’s sponsors, abortion in the black community kills more African-Americans than “all other causes combined.”
The ad hints at the groups’ primary charge — that civil rights leaders who support abortion are betraying the black community — and directs onlookers to visit AbortionInTheHood.com. This is the second round of anti-abortion billboards targeting Atlanta this summer.
“Something is wrong,” said Catherine Davis, founder of the Restoration Project, a co-sponsor of the billboard, “when those elected to protect the interests of their constituents turn a blind eye to the horrific impact that abortion is wreaking on the black community. In New York City, for every 1,000 black babies born alive, 1,489 are aborted. In Washington, D.C. for every 100 black babies born alive, 165 are aborted! Something is wrong!”
Day Gardner of the National Black Pro-life Union, another co-sponsor, added that there is an element of racism, which civil rights leaders should fight, among abortion providers.
“Can’t we at least ask the hard questions about these numbers?” Gardner said. “Pro-abortion groups cry racism when black pro-life leaders point out the depopulation effect of abortion. I say yes racism is a factor, not on the part of pro-lifers, but on the part of those who want us to continually stream into the clinics to kill our children. All black leaders should help stop it or stay home.”
The website the billboard advertises features an anti-abortion video with heavy music, striking images and serious charges.
“Tragically deaths outnumber life in the black community, out of 653,071 annual deaths, the most common cause is not HIV (6,398), respiratory disease (7,830), homicide (8,870), diabetes (12,343), accidents (13,559), kidney disease (17,323), cancer (63,441), or heart disease (95,059),” according to the video.

The Video Created by http://www.TheRadianceFoundation.org, this is part 2 of 3 of our “NUMBERS DON’T LIE” video series, called “NUMBER ONE KILLER”. It exposes the epidemic of abortion in the black community. The Nat’l Black Prolife Coalition calls out black leaders who have betrayed their community by either their silence or complicity with the issue of abortion. http://www.TheRadianceFoundation.org
