I love football and I am a big Dallas Cowboy fan. I guess you can image how disappointed I was to see what was commonly reported to be one of the more talented teams in the NFL go crashing down at the end of the season. Of course all the armchair analysis pointed to many reasons why a team as talented as the Cowboys could not make it happen last season. However, one of the more astute analyses I encountered came from my son Jamaal, who is a lifetime Cowboys fan. Jamaal’s analysis basically said although the “Boys” had the talent to win it all, they did not play as a team. “The Cowboys simply did not play as a team, but rather as individuals.”
Could this be a major reason why the pro-life movement is not winning the struggle against the culture of death and the community of pro-aborts? One of the great challenges of the pro-life community continues to be their need to connect with, and work with the black conservative pro-life movement. Any astute observer recognizes that the conservative black community stands four square with the pro-life community on issues of life and traditional marriage.
Most of our friends in the majority community acknowledge there is a need for us to connect with one another in order to present a unified front against our common foe. However, more has to be done to include black conservatives in the planning and development of strategies and tactics that would facilitate greater mobilization of our respective communities across our country. The Pro-life movement has not maximized for mobilization en-masse with black folks who agree wholeheartedly with the fundamental suppositions of the pro-life movement. Frankly, there has been an incredible disconnect between the majority community and the black community. Our community is being devastated by Plan Parenthood’s targeted efforts to make pre-natal murder a common practice among us. The black community constitutes 35% of all pre-natal murders performed in America. We deeply desire to work as a team with our allies.
I have been involved on and off in the struggle for life since 1983. I have worked with white warriors who have helped to rescue babies all over Dallas. There has been incredible support from individuals; I’m sure all over this country that those who worked together with black individuals with some degree of success would agree that the joint effort make the task easier. Working together we have witnessed the closing of clinics and helped mothers turn away from the door of abortionist. However, you must know that occasionally, during this football season the Cowboys quarterback, Tony Romo would throw a touchdown to Terrell Owens. But, one touchdown very seldom won the game. Having a few successes is good, but we want to win the game. We need to plan and develop together a national strategy in order to win the game.
As things are currently, the pro-life community is facing an incredible challenge. We are witnessing a rapid fire administration that seeks to establish laws, and executive orders that will set back all that we have accomplished over the years to keep the culture of death in check, and to slow down their programs of death.
The results of this presidential election have put us in a position of having to recalibrate our strategies and methods to stay in stride with a clever and subtle foe that slickly hisses, “no one is for abortion, only for a woman’s right to choose.” As we recalibrate a strategy to show how we will move our team over the next four years, let us take a lesson from the Cowboys and play this one out as a team.
The black pro-life movement is a natural ally in the struggle to end the scourge of baby murder in our country. We are being impacted by it at an alarming rate. Our contribution is to mobilize the black community and bring their collective voices to the table to speak out against this evil practice. Our voice when heard cannot be ignored or misrepresented as trying to besmirch the first black President. He is from our community and he most not ignore our cry to stop the killing of our children. When we collectively bring to the nation’s consciousness the horrors of baby killing in our communities and how it is practiced in unabated furor we will win the day. For the next four years, we need to play this one out as a team if we are to win!

Inaugural Blues
Inaugural Day Blues
We’ve got so, so far to go!
January 20th the world watched as America inaugurated its first man of color to be their President. Without doubt it was a historic occasion in light of the legacy of pain experienced by blacks in this nations early years. The ideals of this great nation were probably best expressed in that moment on that day in Washington DC. Through all the toils and adversities connected with 100 years of lynching, ‘Jim Crow laws’ and second-class citizenship the voice of the Declaration of Independence expressed an idealism that challenged the ill practices and treatment perpetrated on blacks. On inaugural day that same voice could still be heard loud and clear as Mr. Obama took the oath of office. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.” Those words were best articulated and realized in that moment on that day in Washington DC when a black-man took the highest office in the land.
The black community in vicarious joy breathed a sigh of collective relief as Mr. Obama concluded his commitment to uphold the constitution. “We’ve come a long ways baby,” could be heard by the community’s older citizens as they applauded our new President. We have come a long ways, but we’ve got so, so far to go.
In the face of this extraordinary event the condition of the community is worst now than it’s been since the signing of civil right legislation in 1964. The pathologies of the community are unbelievably deplorable and pervasive such that they blackened the eye of this incredible accomplishment. Indeed the significance of this moment is marginalized when we examine the number of black single parent homes, the black male and female incarcerations rate, the high school drop out rate among black boys, HIV aids among young black women, and the number of unskilled black men and women in a 21st century economy.
Perhaps the most glaring example of how dreadful things are in the black community is the number of black babies dieing daily across America. Over 1,500 black babies die every day before the sun goes down. That’s 10,500 in a week, 42,000 in a month, 504,000 in a year. The most vulnerable among us are being attacked in their mother’s womb at a phenomenal rate. For every four pregnancies in our community, three end in pre-natal murder. Black abortions among black women are almost five times the rate of white women.
Unfortunately there’s a deafening silence from the communities leadership concerning this appalling practice. Silence typifies their response concerning other known pathologies plaguing our families, and especially our children. Black elected officials and leaders seem to watch quietly as the number one organization responsible for the murder of black babies, Plan Parenthood target’s our babies and women to fulfill their money making schemes to depopulate black people. These eugenicist walks freely into our neighborhoods cloaking their intent with language design to deceive. Language that employs terms such as “reproduction health, and unintended pregnancies, which dupes the uninitiated into believing they have a moral choice to murder babies. The bible calls these “the doctrines of demons.” The fallout of this attack is devastating the lives of babies at an alarming rate. Black women too are being touch by this evil, which shows itself in the mental and physical health of black women who have been seduced into THE CHOICE TO MURDER their babies. It has been reported that breast cancers in now scientifically tied to the pre-natal murder.
We have indeed come a long ways, but God help us we have got to find a way to stop the madness of murdering our babies! I guess that why I’ve got the blues, and you should have them too!

Black Political Leaders, Marked Absent!
I was struck by the noticeable absence of black elected officials at the January 22nd March for Life in Washington DC. Not one leader from the black congressional caucus was present. This was especially curious to me in light of the fact that the rate of pre-natal murder among black babies is higher than any other group in America. Statistics recorded on numbers of abortions in the black community are now commonly reported on in major media throughout the nation. We have all heard and read of staggering numbers of womb lynching by Plan Parenthood along side of other abortionists and these numbers are appalling and frightening to all decent minded men and women in our community. Over 1,450 black babies are murdered in their mother’s womb daily, and three out of every four black pregnancies end in a womb lynching. These facts are frightening and indicate that black women and their babies are the target of the 1.8 billion dollar abortion industry in America.
These statistics demonstrate that there is a holocaust of epic proportions happening in our community. Why haven’t our black elected officials responded to this malady? Black Americans elect politicians/legislators to protect their interest. Our interest includes a wide range of social, political, educational, and health related needs. However, our children should be first on the list of those who need most our protection and certainly the protection of our political leaders.
The practice of pre-natal murder is without question having a deleterious impact on the very existence of our community. It has been reported by population demographers that 2 to 2.5 children per house whole are required in order for a family to replace itself. The number of children being born in black households across America is less than 1child per family. The black community is not replacing itself and no doubt pre-natal murder is a major contributing factor. The silence of the Black Congressional Caucus is unthinkable when the community they serve is at the door of extinction.
Pre-natal murder is the 900-pound gorilla in the community. Its impact is far more devastating than aids, heart disease, diabetes, and drug abuse which by the way is contributing to the extinction of our people here in America. Needless to say the combination of these pathologies will wipe us off the face of America's map if we don’t do something about them now starting with pre-natal murder.
So, the absence of black elected officials at an this extraordinary event which was designed to bring national attention to a practice that is murdering countless numbers of babies annually, is more than just a curiosity it’s a down right rotten dirty shame! The community is starting to take notice of those who tacitly watch the destruction of our babies and our women. You who deliberately withhold power and influence to stop the insanity of pre-natal murder will be held accountable come Election Day!

An Open Letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the United States Congress
When we read of your support for including Planned Parenthood‘s request for assistance in the stimulus package currently being considered by the Congress, we were appalled. “Surely, we thought, you know of Planned Parenthood’s long record of targeting of black babies for extermination. Margaret Sanger’s December 10, 1939 letter spelled out that the intent of the organization’s Negro Project is to exterminate blacks. The spring 2008 undercover investigation by a UCLA student confirmed their continued practice of targeting the black community and their willingness to accept funds from racists to carry out the organization’s diabolical plan (http://www.laadvocate.com/Advocate3.pdf).
Surely, we thought, Ms. Pelosi, that you know that Planned Parenthood is the largest abortion provider in the nation and funding them with taxpayer dollars is tantamount to government sponsored eugenics (a practice that supports purifying the races by targeting “weeds and misfits” (Sanger’s words) for abortion and/or sterilization). Of course, Ms. Pelosi, you know that each time Planned Parenthood performs one of their targeted abortions; they not only terminate the life of the baby, but also increased the mother’s likelihood of breast cancer without informing the mom she was at risk (http://www.abortionbreastcancer.com/letters/brind/index.htm).
It is not unreasonable to assume that you also know that there is a “disparate Pre term birth risk to black American babies due to the high black American Induced Abortion rate”( Journal of American Physicians and Surgeons Volume 13 Number 4 Winter 2008). As you can see, Planned Parenthood’s practice of targeting blacks for abortion hurts women and is tantamount to genocide in America.
How could you not know, Ms. Pelosi, that various Planned Parenthoods have broken the laws of many states. Take a look at the Comprehensive Health of Planned Parenthood of Kansas and Mid-Missouri, located in Overland Park, Kan where a 107-count criminal complaint, of which twenty-three of the counts are felony charges, was made (http://abcnews.go.com/TheLaw/Story?id=3752146&page=1).
Are you not aware of Planned Parenthood’s zeal for killing babies that includes a willingness to advise minors, some under the age of 13, to keep the age of their sexual partner a secret? Doing so, they tell the youth, keeps Planned Parenthood from having to report it under state laws as statutory rape or child abuse (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EPY8LE_XwRM). Of course you certainly must know of Planned Parenthood’s overbilling the California government by over 180 million dollars (http://www.lifenews.com/state3765.html).
We believe these cases are just a tip of the iceberg. In the spring and summer of 2008, black pastors, ministry and community leaders, called on the Congress to investigate Planned Parenthood criminal activities and racist targeting of the black community, while defunding their $336 million taxpayer funded initiatives. I call on you and the Congress to not only investigate this organization that has profited from the blood of black babies, but to immediately cease supplying taxpayer money to kill my people.

Black Prolife leaders Meet in Durham, NC
On December 5 and 6 a historic gathering of African American leaders gathered in Durham, NC to discuss strategy and messaging to reduce the number of abortions in the black community and overturn roe vs wade.
Doctors, lawyers, pastors, business leaders and community activists have decided to make abortion in the urban community the civil rights issue of our day.
"If the church does not recapture its prophetic zeal it will become an irrelevant social club without moral or spiritual authority." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
