UNION CITY, Calif., July 25, 2016 /Christian Newswire/ -- According to The Social and Economic Status of the BLACK POPULATION in the United States an Historical View, 1790-1978, a statistical reconstructed estimate of the total fertility rate for Black women in the 1850's was about 7.9 births per woman. 100 years later, in 1950, the total fertility rate for Black women was about 3.6. That's a 54% decline.
In the 1960s, Black Americans distrusted government and any attempt to limit our population. We feared the motivation behind taxpayer funded birth control clinics was nothing more than a malevolent effort to limit Black Political Power.
In 1965, at a meeting of the Council of Philadelphia Anti-Poverty Action Committee, Cecil Moore, president of the local NAACP chapter condemned a Planned Parenthood program in northern Philadelphia because 70% of the population were Black. Moore labeled the plan as "replete with everything to help the Negroes commit race suicide."
On January 22nd, 1973, abortion on demand became legal nationwide.
60 days later in a March 22nd, 1973 Jet Magazine article entitled "Legal Abortion Is It Genocide Or Blessing In Disguise?" Jesse Jackson warned: "Abortion is genocide. ... Anything growing is living. If you got the thrill to set the baby in motion and you don't have the will to protect it, you're dishonest."
By 1975, two years after the legalization of abortion in 1973, the total fertility rate for Black women fell to 2.3 births per woman. Today, the Democratic Party and Black leadership in high places, including Jesse Jackson, endorse abortion on demand through all 9 months of pregnancy. Today, the total fertility rate for Black women has fallen to an all-time low of 1.8 births per woman.
According to the Population Reference Bureau, which is dedicated to informing people around the world about population, health, and the environment, long periods of low fertility rates have an irreversible consequence. In 163 years the total Black Fertility Rate dropped 77%. At this rate, by 2050 the total Black Fertility Rate will have dropped to 1.3 or lower and face irreversibility.
Walter B. Hoye II, President of the Issues4Life Foundation, says: "There is such a thing as 'Too Late.' History, has written 'Too Late' on the tombstone of many." Lamenting Hoye continues: "Cecil Moore was right. Planned Parenthood's plan is 'replete with everything to help the Negroes commit race suicide.' God help us!"
