Breaking the Silence: A Biblical Response to the Abortion Crisis in Black America
Race and abortion are arguably two of the most polarizing and controversial topics in the U.S. When the two intersect, as they have historically in this country, we are faced with one of the most explosive and divisive issues in modern American history. Between 55-60 million babies have been aborted in America since abortion on demand became legal in 1973. Approximately 20 million of these babies, almost one-third, were black, even though blacks constitute only 13% of the U.S. population. The truth is, abortion in black America can be traced back to slavery, eugenics, and years of racial discrimination. Sadly, few people are sounding the alarm about black abortions as a form of racial discrimination, even as abortion has become the number one killer in the black community, far exceeding the combined deaths caused by violence, drugs, AIDS, heart disease, cancer, and accidents. In this book, author and speaker Emmitt Cornelius Jr. addresses this issue head-on. With a writing style that’s clear and poignant, he exposes the racist history of abortion, as well as the political, constitutional, cultural, scientific, and religious elements that account for abortion’s rise as the number one killer in the black community. It then offers ways to end this tragic loss of innocent black lives, which some people are now calling the “black infant holocaust.”
