I found this story on Huffington Post tonight (yes, I sanitized my keyboard) about the billboard in the picture above. The Georgia Right to Life sponsors the billboard. The ad has gotten mixed reviews. While saying black children are an endangered species may offend the delicate PC sensibilities of some, the numbers don’t lie, more black children are aborted than the top seven causes of death for black people nationwide.
From CNS News [emphasis added mine]:
Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC. During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined. These were the seven leading causes of death for black Americans that year.
You can only imagine what the real number is when you count all 50 states. If being controversial is what it takes to finally address this madness, then so be it.
