Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) -- An African-American pro-life leader has a message for Barack Obama that plays off on the informal theme that has become a chant at his rallies: No we can't. For Day Gardner, that means the black community can't continue supporting abortion and how it racially targets black Americans.Gardner has talked before about how abortion businesses unfairly target minority communities and how black women have abortions at much higher rates than white women or Hispanics.
But Gardner says the last straw for her is the recent controversy surrounding Obama's votes in the Illinois legislature against bills that would have protected babies who survive botched abortions.
"Barack Obama is an extremist who, in supporting what amounts to infanticide, would like to see all of us stand idle--twiddling our thumbs as unplanned children, who are born alive, die this terrible death," she told LifeNews.com Thursday.
"We must realize this is definitely part of Mr. Obama's plan for America," Gardner explains. "But it is definitely not mine. In my America, all voices shout, 'No We Can't!' and 'No We Won't!'"
Gardner is also troubled by Obama's refusal to admit that he voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection Act even after his own legislative committee adopted an amendment he now says would have made it possible for him to vote for the bill..................
