Here's the story from the Denver Post about Republican candidate for Colorado governor, Bob Beauprez, being forced to apologize for (of all things) being appalled at the number of abortions performed on black women.
Beauprez told a radio audience, "I've seen numbers as high as 70 percent - maybe even more - in the African-American community. That, I think, is just appalling."
So how do Colorado liberals respond? Well, rather than deal with the fact; namely, the "appalling" rate of abortion among black women itself, they do what comes natural -- ignore the salient issues altogether and get angry at the person with the audacity to point out the obvious.
"I'm offended, and I'm sure others will be as well," said the Rev. Reginald Holmes, pastor of New Covenant Christian Church in Denver and former head of the Greater Metro Denver Ministerial Alliance. "This is evidence of the supreme irresponsibility of the man," Holmes said. "He's a complete irresponsible buffoon. If he can prove those statistics, then I will apologize publicly."
Can it be true that a black leader (and a man of the cloth as well) is really offended only because Beauprez' statistic is wrong? Really? Well then, let's try 50% -- that's about the figure that even the pro-abortion Alan Gutmacher Institute admits is the national rate for abortions among blacks.
Reverend, shouldn't that reality be the focus of your moral offense? For the "supreme irresponsibility" is refusing to deal with the horrific tragedy of so many black babies ending up in the grisly maw of the abortion clinic.
Indeed, instead of trying to divert attention from the real issue here, it seems you should be thanking Mr. Beauprez for caring enough to be bothered...and for wanting to bring the appropriate resources to bear.
Editor,
Bob Beauprez' apology for claiming that 70% of black babies are victims of abortion is tragic. His bold claim seemed unbelievable and yes he was off by about 10%. Nonetheless, he courageously brought public attention to the dirty little secret that has for far too long been below the radar.
According to blackgenocide.org, while, regrettably, there were
3,446 blacks lynched between 1882 and 1968, that
staggering figure is repeated every 3 days in our nation by abortion.
Blacks make up 12% of the population but have 35% of the abortions. 3 of every 5 or 1,452 black babies die each day in America in accord with the plans of Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger. In her "Negro
Project" Sanger wrote, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members."
Since 1973, more than 13 million innocent black babies have been destroyed and their mothers victimized by the abortion industry, which makes millions killing pre-born babies.
Congressman Beauprez ought to be praised by the
African American community in Colorado for raising
an issue worthy of alarm. Rather than chastising him, Rep. Marshall ought to encourage her constituents to vote for him.
His genuine concern for all pre-born infants, regardless of color,
is praiseworthy in a candidate running for Governor of Colorado.
