(Prolifer)ations 7-16-08

by Colleen W.

On the blogs today...

Forest Nymph links to a Wall Street Journal editorial on the NAACP and abortion. William McGurn says:

Just imagine if this institution used its voice and resources to ensure that, beside all those Planned Parenthood clinics located in our minority neighborhoods, African-American women could find another kind of place. A place not unlike Good Counsel - where a scared young pregnant woman could carry her baby to term, complete her education, train for a new job, and be treated with the love and respect that a mother needs and deserves.

Read more about the Cincinnati NAACP protest here.

Following up on a previous (Prolifer)ations post as well as a post by Jill, this from Monica Miller at Citizens for a Pro-life Society...

Women's Advisory aborted babies video has been remounted!

You Tube never responded to our inquiries. So CPS has taken the initiative and opened a new account with YouTube. We slightly altered the original Abortion Dumpster Scandal-Women's Advisory video that YouTube took off their site last week.
Hopefully this alteration will comply with their "rules" even though we were never told WHY the original video was deleted from YouTube! The new video is called Abortion Exposed. If you haven't seen it, it certainly is a unique, rare, and disturbing look at the abortion industry!

When we remounted this new video we lost all 7000 original hits that were generated on the original video and all the comments that it generated too! So we are back to zero starting today! (The Hodari Dumpster Scandal video is still available. )

Also, a companion video is available on YouTube, Fr. Pavone's YouTube video. It is a recording of CPS's June 27th burial of the Women's Advisory babies. Take a look...

Wow, I am pleasantly surprised by the WSJ column. He really did his research, and articulated why the NAACP should at the minimum encourage CPCs.

LIFE IS FULL OF CHOICES. CHOICE IS GOOD

How to use a knife:

Driving...

or driving drunk...

I do...

I don't...

BUT SOME CHOICES ARE JUST WRONG

Very good article. Unfortunately, however, I don't see the NAACP changing any time soon because they are so closely aligned with the Democratic party.

Here in Philadelphia, as in most other large cities, the abortion rate among black women is very high. Besides helping find alternatives to abortion, I wish that adoption was discussed more in the black community. The media has promoted the myth that " no one wants black babies" and many people believe that. I even heard a prominent black female politician say "black males are unadoptable." I was absolutely shocked - that's something that the Klan would say!

Here is a link to an agency that specializes in placing African American infants http://www.adoptionarc.com/ I would like to adopt again, but I'm fifty and single and it might be difficult. Nowadays many birth moms have a say in selecting a family for their newborn and many, if not most, prefer a young married couple. I can't really say I blame them.

Anyway, Dr. King is going to speak at our local pro-life dinner in November and I am really looking forward to meeting her.

mk: Good points!

Choice is good. God is good. God gives us the grace to make the good choices. Choose Life!

Melissa,
I do know of a single 60 year old woman that adopted. :)

Thank you for commenting and for the link.

The 5 families at my church that have adopted African American babies are not buying the myth!!

Fr. Pavone's funeral video should have been its own article.

Rich. Tragically rich.
