DETROIT, July 10, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) once again rejected a pro-life resolution that would attempt to address the pressing issues of abortion and infant mortality in the American African community.
This July approximately 8,000 NAACP members met in Detroit for the organization's annual convention. While Saturday's major theme was improving access to heath care, NAACP authorities rejected the pro-life resolution of the Macon, Georgia, chapter for the second time since 2004.
Christian News Wire reports that according to Rev. Clenard Childress Jr., the national director of LEARN, an African American pro-life organization, 36% of abortions (a total of 1,452 per day) are performed on African Americans.
Noting these numbers, Childress called it "deplorable" that the "noble institution with such a rich history would choose again to censor one of its own chapters."
He asked, "What have we come to when those whom (sic) have the charge of protecting our rights willfully choose to take them away?"
Dr. Alveda King, niece of Martin Luther King Jr. and pastoral associate for Priests for Life, strongly urged the NAACP to recognize the importance of the pro-life resolution. "The NAACP has always been about justice," said King, quoted in the Christian Post. "Today, there is no greater injustice facing black people than abortion."
She continued, "Over 13 million African Americans are not here because they died by legal abortion. It's as if a plague swept through our cities and towns and took one of every four blacks. Talk about inconvenient truths." She also emphasized that the national leadership of the NAACP, "needs to address what abortion has done to the African American community and our nation as a whole, even if it means making some people in high positions uncomfortable."
Her address concluded, "The National Board of the NAACP needs to know that its membership loves our children and wants what is right for them, and what is right is for them to be allowed to live."

And yet they still cling to the fallacy that the left will take care of them.

They are fools, that find victimization an easier path than becoming respectable, stand-up Americans....free of the big government teat. It so much easier to believe lies, than to get educated and work for a living....and it will not change until the race-baiting liberals are GONE.
The NAACP is more interested in promoting the policies of the DNC than promoting the welfare of “colored people”?

The NAACP deals in Black genocide. Tragic.
“Over 13 million African Americans are not here because they died by legal abortion.”
Hmmmm,......let’s see? If Dr. Ben Casrson is one in a million I guess this equates to 13 Ben Carsons. (sarc off)
Every life is precious.
Self-inflicted genocide.
The NAACP, or as Rush correctly calls it the NAALCP (the L is for liberal), has been for a long time and probably always will be little more than a Democra# organization whose purpose is to perpetuate a victim mentality and funnel African American votes to the Democra# Party. Therefore. there is exactly zero chance they will become pro-life anytime in the foreseeable future...
Not surprising. They have always been about liberalism more than helping black people, anyway.

Any mention of the vote count? O wonder how close it was. I know of 13 million blacks who were disenfranchised from voting.
I’m all for pro-life efforts, but it sounds to me like the Macon chapter has never heard that old chestnut about not casting pearls before swine.
