Stepping Out


Back in June when Barak Obama was in Minneapolis for a big rally, a group of us post-abortion men and women went to the Excel Center with our signs to try to talk to the attendees about abortion adn the African-American community. Abortion is the leading cause of death in the African-American community, yet no one seems to be addressing that within the Obama camp. The response to our presence was overwhelmingly not welcomimng! Not very "inclusive" of them, is it?

Here are some interesting facts:

Approximate number of African-American deaths since 1973:*

AIDS: 227,695
Violent Crimes: 329,313
Accidents: 409,723
Cancer: 1,824,350
Heart Disease: 2,503,789
Abortion: 14 million

*All figures based on cumulative statistics provided by the U.S. Center for Disease Control National Vital Statistics Reports
