Last monday was World AIDS Day. One of our city's drop-in centers was full to the brim with events to educate youth about this terrible disease. A concerned coworker commented that this disease is THE killer of the African American population.
I'm going to let the numbers speak for themselves:
8,858 Number of African American AIDS deaths in the United States, 1999
Table 1. Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report 07/17/02
321,447 Number of African American Abortion deaths in the United States 1999
Journal of the National Medical Association 02/01/03
AIDS is a true travesty. But abortion kills even more people of color in our country than AIDS. There is not a World Abortion Day.
I pray that our newly elected president will act the opposite of the Planned Parenthood eugenicists before him in the true interest of the African American population.
