I remember reading somewhere that she said that the offspring of poor southern whites, blacks, and Jews, needed to be pulled as weeds from the garden of society. Many blacks I have told this too, do not believe it. Can anyone help me find the quote I referenced? Been looking for a while.

I want to think about all of this some more before commenting further. Thank you for sharing your insight and for your continued work. I am constantly saddened by those who see abortion as a solution to social issues. Other than the obvious immorality of the position, it has failed to produce positive results for 35 years. Time for a new plan because "just kill the problem away" appears ineefective.<BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/>JayJay Wattshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11298001988620531769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1442827238174603755.post-68011624886052441882007-05-24T12:40:00.000-07:002007-05-24T12:40:00.000-07:00Jay,I have spoken to leaders of the Black communit...Jay,<BR/>I have spoken to leaders of the Black community about the abortion statistics and I have gotten many different responses. <BR/><BR/>They have ranged from "I don't believe you" to "You've got to be kidding" to the type of heart-breaking response that you received.<BR/><BR/>One of the leaders that I spoke to wanted to know why I would want to force a homeless woman who had been raped by another street person to have a baby when she couldn't even care for herself. Another pastor wanted to know why we (in the pro-life movement) don't get more involved in providing birth control to the black community since we know that the young girls are going to "do it anyway" and that would prevent abortions.<BR/><BR/>Of course, I answered these and more questions like them, but I remember coming away from that meeting with a heavy, heavy heart. <BR/><BR/>We will continue to educate but it would be a lot easier if the leadership would get it right and start to speak out for Life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
