Is MLK Day a Pro-life Day?


The Rev. Joseph Parker was on the radio show today. He insists that the MLK Day commemoration ought to be a celebration of the greatest civil rights movement our our era, and perhaps of any American era. And that civil rights movement is the Right-to-Life movement.

Parker is the Director of Community Outreach and Intercession with the American Family Association. He is also the pastor of two African Methodist Episcopal churches.

A friend from church was just in our house. She and her children came to the abortion clinic today to share faith, hope and love. But she noted with dismay that EVERY lady entering the abortion clinic was black. It broke her heart.

That is what Rev. Parker is getting at. Most African-Americans say they are pro-life but they get over a third of the abortions in this country while being only 13% of the population. Something is wrong with that and what better day than MLK Day to let people know about it.

By God's grace and His people stepping forward, it doesn't have to be this way.
