Lorerdana Vuoto in her article “Abortion: The Real African American Killer” (www.reflectionsebi.net July 2010 Issue) cites Mrs. Obama’s efforts to reduce childhood obesity to save lives. To quote Vuoto, “Although it may be true that one in three children in the United States is obese,” “the epidemic of childhood obesity in America is not what is really killing African Americans: abortion is.” Vuote goes on, “Put bluntly, for every three black babies born, two are aborted.”
Vuoto make the point that mass media disregards U.S. Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) statistics that over 1/3 of U.S. abortions are African American. Vuoto clarifies that 78% of all abortion clinics are located in or near predominantly minority neighborhoods.
Vuoto is right. The irony of Mrs. Obama’s focus on childhood obesity when abortion is the greatest killer our nation’s children is astounding.
PASS ministers truth with love and compassion wherever abortion is advanced in Chicago’s southern suburbs and we want to do more. PASS lovingly receives those who have experienced an abortion. At PASS, personal relationship is paramount.
PASS devotes its time on “doing” more so than “talking”. This is why we are thankful for speakers and writers like Vuoto and pro-life blogger Jill Stanek (www.jillstanek.com) and others for their connections to public audiences. We are also thankful for CPC’s around the U.S. like PASS at what they do one heart at a time through love and compassion with women and men in crisis pregnancy situations. What joy to know there are those who speak and those who do. Like sowing and reaping, together we are saving lives and changing culture.
Sounds like a great partnership for life.
For His Children,
Rick Lighart, PASS President
