CULTURE of DEATH:NAACP Continues to Reject Pro-Life Resolution

The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP) has rejected a proposed resolution expressing opposition to abortion because of abortion’s disproportionate impact on minorities.This is the second time in four years the group has rejected the resolution.The Macon, Ga., chapter of the NAACP proposed the resolution for the second time at the organization’s annual convention in Detroit July 7-10.The proposal would align the group with the pro-life movement, but the NAACP leadership blocked the resolution.
“It is deplorable that this noble institution with such a rich history would choose again to censor one of its own chapters,” Rev. Clenard Childress Jr. said in a statement.“What have we come to when those whom (sic) have the charge of protecting our rights willfully choose to take them away?” Childress is the assistant national director of LEARN, an African American pro-life organization.“These are issues unquestionably that need discussion on the convention floor by the delegates that are there, and the NAACP at this present time chooses to take the position that it’s not relevant,” Childress said.Alveda King, niece of civil rights leader Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., urged the NAACP to consider proposals opposing abortion during its annual convention this week in Detroit.“The NAACP has always been about justice. Today, there is no greater injustice facing black people than abortion,” she said in a statement.“The national leadership of the NAACP needs to address what abortion has done to the African American community and our nation as a whole, even if it means making some people in high positions uncomfortable,” she said.
