Pro-lifers resolution rejected at NAACP convention

The assistant national director of the Life Education and Resource Network (LEARN) says an attempt is under way today in Detroit by the NAACP's Georgia state president to convene an emergency session at the organization's annual convention on its last day. The purpose of the session is to allow reading of a pro-life resolution from the Macon affiliate -- something that was denied yesterday by the NAACP's governing committee.

The resolution would have involved a floor discussion of the harmful effects of abortion on African-American women. LEARN's Rev. Clenard Childress says the committee violated bylaws of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, which allows resolutions to be presented and read by state chapters on the floor of the conventions, to be opened for discussion.

He acknowledges that the committee has the right to prevent the resolution being opened for discussion, but not to prevent it from being read. "So what they did, then, is just rejected the resolution outright," says Childress, " made the bogus claim that there were errors in it -- and therefore there would not be an obligation to read it at the convention."

Childress explains this is not the first time opponents have employed the tactic of prohibiting a resolution addressing abortion from a pro-life context from being read. "This is the second time that resolutions have been rejected by this present administration of the NAACP that has abortion content to it," he notes. "It is obvious a pattern of censorship, and I think we need to have some serious changes in the NAACP."

And since yesterday, he adds, pro-life delegates have been unable to find a letter from the committee it claims it sent explaining the alleged errors in this year's resolution.

Delegates such as Dr. Alveda King -- niece of the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King, Jr. -- are attempting to get the reading in an emergency session today. But if they are unsuccessful, Childress says he and other pro-life leaders in Detroit today will highlight publicly what he calls "the abuse of powers" in censoring one of its own chapters' content.

They don't want to hear the truth, because that would tear at the chains that bind the NAACP in a disadvantageous relationship with the Democrat Party.

Something like 71% of abortion clinics are in minority neighborhoods. And Planned Parenthood often refers kids for abortions from clinics WITHIN the very halls of their high schools or middle schools!

Millions of Black Americans have died before they even had a chance to be born. Rev. Childress' BlackGenocide.org has the details on this as well as the racist connections of Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger to the KKK and Adolf Hitler.

It kills me that African Americans will blindly follow the bait of Democrats and support abortion when the original intent of Margaret Sanger in introducing abortion was to keep black people from ever outnumbering white people. Just look at the demographics of the neighborhoods Planned Parenthoods are placed. Margaret Sanger was an outright racist- if anyone should be all for doing away with abortion it should be its original intended victims- African Americans.
