DETROIT, July 9 /Christian Newswire/ -- The NAACP has rejected a resolution that would have led to open discussion on the convention floor on the harmful effects caused by abortion to African American women. The convention is being held in Detroit, July 7-10, at Cobo Hall. The resolution put forth by the Macon chapter of the NAACP has been censored for the second time in three years due to abortion content.
"It is deplorable that this noble institution with such a rich history would choose again to censor one of its own chapters, states Rev. Clenard H. Childress Jr. "This institution was founded to ensure that the voices of African Americans would be heard. What have we come to when those whom have the charge of protecting our rights willfully choose to take them away? Rev. Childress is the Assistant National Director of LEARN the largest African American pro-life organization in USA.
1452 African American children are terminated each day by abortion. US census reports that for the first time in US history African Americans are beneath the replacement rate. African American women make up 36% of all abortions but only account for 6% of the population.
Elder Levon R. Yuille, the national director of the National Black Pro-life Congress is partnering with Learn and together they will hold a press conference outside the Cobo Center. "The NAACP has a history of refusing to face the abortion issue. The NAACP ignores the detrimental health issues of African American women due to abortion."
Dr. Alveda King, the niece of the slain civil rights leader Martin Luther King will be participating in the convention as a delegate. Dr. King plans to assist the Macon chapter in getting the resolution read.
Dr. Alveda King states," Oh, God, what would Martin Luther King, Jr., who dreamed of having his children judged by the content of their characters do if he'd lived to see the contents of thousands of children's skulls emptied into the bottomless caverns of the abortionists pits?
