The Crisis of Black Abortion Rates and the Ongoing Battle for Natural Rights
Manage episode 419211562 series 2822273
Could the decline in the national percentage of the Black population be signaling a crisis many are hesitant to acknowledge? This urgent discussion is sparked by the alarming high abortion rates in the Black community, a phenomenon some are bold enough to label a genocide. Join us as we shine a light on the outcry from Black American leaders and pastors who recently protested a new Planned Parenthood clinic in Charlotte, North Carolina. The data presented is sobering—scholar Michael Novak points to the staggering 16 million Black babies aborted since 2002. It's a wake-up call demanding political engagement and community action, and we don't shy away from the tough questions or the uncomfortable truths that need to be faced head-on.
The battle over natural rights is not a relic of history—it is a living debate, directly tied to the abortion conversation. We explore this philosophical struggle with insights from pro-life advocates like William Saunders and Harley Atkins, who compare the dehumanization of slavery to the denial of rights to the unborn. This episode confronts the government's inconsistent protection of life, liberty, and property, and the profound impact this has had on Black communities. As we dissect the parallels between the Dred Scott case and the devaluation of unborn lives, we invite you to join us in a powerful call for reflection on the society we want to build. It's not just a matter of policy; it's a question of our collective humanity.
