MLK Jr's Niece Explains Why We're Not 'Free at Last'

Martin Luther King, Jr's fight for civil rights is not over, insists his niece Dr. Alveda King. Speaking at the 44th annual National Right to Life convention in Louisville, Ky., King explained that she is continuing her uncle's legacy because the presence of abortion shows that not all of us can enjoy that freedom for which he fought.

King encouraged the audience to chime in with her as she sang the last few verses of "How Great Thou Art" during her keynote speech for the NRLC prayer breakfast. Her faith took a prominent role throughout her address as she discussed how she is remembering the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act by carrying a pro-life message across the country.

I like her but its sad she was used by the National Right To Life that supports GOPe politicians and has redefined a 20 week rape, incest or life of the mother exception abortion laws as “Pro-Life” votes for business as usual politicians.

Ronald Reagan was called “liberal” for his position he adopted as a presidential candidate in the 1970’s that abortion was wrong from the moment of conception with exceptions for rape, incest or the life of the mother.

The NRL is leading a Pro-Life retreat and big money is subordinating it to the political machine.

Abortion clinic laws shut down the back alley small time operators and only leave the big time abortion operator (Planned Parenthood) in business. Republicans who pass such bills are giving us crony capitalist type laws for abortion to protect the big “business” from smaller ones.

“she is continuing her uncle’s legacy because the presence of abortion”

“Black children are in danger.”

I was driving down MLK, Jr. Way in Tacoma for absolutely no good reason, but mindin’ my own bidness, and what did I see at S. 15th Street? A Planned Parenthood building with a huge sign!

I love her. Have you notice she never gets trotted out in MLKjr festivities? She is not politically correct.

I've seen her on Glenn Beck's program. I believe she may be Conservative, and I wonder if she's aware of the GOP-e’s connection to the Natl Right To Life organization. I wonder if she's aware of what is going on in Mississippi with the GOP-e and voter fraud? She seems to be a upstanding woman who will speak out...don't think she will approve of what she hears.

None of us are free, except for certain politicians that are above the law.

All the sheeple are debt/tax slaves, looking forward to a life of serfdom.

Freeloaders are sheeple who gave in and accepted a life of serfdom.

Some sheeple choose a life of crime to earn money, they’re enslaved to the elites as well. These sheeple are prime targets for shake down, since they make their living outside the law and are sheeple. They may think they have an ‘in’ and will be always left alone, but they are nothing but sheeple themselves to the elites.

When she joined Priests for Life, she was still getting over her two abortions.

Some people, like Norma McCorvey, have suffered over abortion.

In Norma McCorvey's case, she somehow feels responsible for abortion being legalized and all the lives lost.

Both of these women, Dr. Alveda King and Norma McCorvey, I somehow managed to get to know (God's plan in my life)...
