Arnold Culbreath, urban outreach director for Protecting Black Life in Cincinnati pointed out that
"abortion remains the leading cause of death in the black community. With President-elect Obama being as aggressively pro-abortion as he is, that makes our work more urgent and necessary."Culbreath continued,
"People don't realize that abortion has killed more blacks than the Ku Klux Klan ever lynched."Culbreath noted that blacks have traditionally supported the Democratic Party, but that by doing so, they’ve been forced to go along with a host of other issues that they don't agree with, such as abortion and the redefinition of marriage.
"They've had to take the bitter with the sweet, not realizing the Pandora's box that has been opened,"In the UK, the mainstream media have been cheerleaders for Obama and many good people have been carried along with the wave of enthusiasm. Now would be a good time to read Michael O'Brien's Father Elijah.

It's funny picking up news of my town (Cincinnati) on an English 'blog.
And I'm on chapter 3.
I read my copy the two days after election day. Scary stuff...
I've written about the 9,000,000 African-Americans denied the right to choose in the privacy of the polling booth by those who chose to snuff their lives out on the grounds of 'privacy': http://bangortobobbio.blogspot.com/2008/11/9000000-black-americans-denied-vote-in_10.html
It seems to me that pro abortionists either don't understand, or don't want to know, that life is life before and after birth. They certainly don't believe that a child is a gift from God.
Calling sinners to repentance is always and everywhere urgently necessary - indeed it is the very reason the Church exists - but how do you communicate with a man or woman who is unrepentant either because they see no sin in what they are doing, or even because they don't believe in God, or sin, at all. You can't argue a moral point with someone who has his or her own subjective view of morality. At least, I don't see how you can.
Preaching the Truth is all very well, but men will not listen to what they don't want to hear.
Prayer, acts of reparation and good example ? Are these things good enough ? I believe so. I hope so.
Fr Elijah - can't think what you mean Father Tim!
Hello Father and thanks for the tip about O'Brian's Fr Elijah.
I found a new copy for a very reasonable (for an out of print book) £7.26 plus £2.80 P&P from a bookseller on AbeBooks http://www.abebooks.co.uk/ -- other readers may find this website useful as well.
Father Elijah is also available new from familypublications.co.uk for £11.50.
If black children were actually taught history, they'd know their real home should be the republican party - the party of Lincoln. It WAS the natural home of the black until FDR started promissing free everything to everybody in the 30s, and they've been on the democrat plantation ever since.
I find it almost laughable that the blacks are the ones who put the passage of proposition 8 (no gay "marriage" in california) over the top - but the radical gays are too chicken to protest in front of THEIR churches.
"Lord of the World" by Robert Hugh Benson is pretty appropriate too.
I pray for Obama's conversion...13 million...in the USA alone african american babies killed by Abortion, that's more than 20% of the 50 million since 1973...one baby is one too many.
