I Prayed have prayed
Reading Time: 2 minutes

Pray that the ugly truths about abortion would be revealed and that the number of abortions would decline in all demographic groups.

Rescue those being led away to death; hold back those staggering toward slaughter. If you say, “But we knew nothing about this,” does not he who weighs the heart perceive it? (Pr. 24: 12)

Here’s a Washington Post headline from yesterday: “Black teens are reported missing—and far too few people notice.” I thought for a moment the Post had turned pro life, because one of the most underreported stories of recent decades is how about 19 million African-American babies have been killed by abortion since 1973.

The Post was actually—and rightly—concerned that 21 people reported missing in the District of Columbia in January are still missing, and 10 of them are teenage girls, including five black girls close in physical description and age: 14, 15, and 16 years old. One concern: that they are being forced into prostitution.

That’s terrible. Also terrible are these gruesome statistics: In the United States, on average, we kill 900 black babies every day. For every 1,000 live births, African-American women have 420 abortions. About 39 million Americans are black, so aside from abortion, the African-American population would be almost 50 percent larger.

A paragraph from the Post article: “Derrica Wilson, co-founder and chief executive of the Black and Missing Foundation, said that people of color account for 40 percent of all missing people in the country.” That’s more true than she may know. About 36 percent of all the babies aborted in the United States are black (and 19 percent are Hispanic).

The abortion rate for black women is almost four times that of white women, and it’s no secret that the racism involved in Planned Parenthood’s founding—pioneers spoke of their “Negro Project”—is still evident in the location of Planned Parenthood facilities and the marketing of abortion within the black community.

Wilson said, “Everyone should be angry at this happening in our community, but our community needs to step up and take action.” True, and some are, including the Radiance Foundation, or see my interview with the foundation’s co-founders Ryan Scott and Bethany Bomberger.

Alveda King, the niece of Martin Luther King Jr., quotes her uncle as saying, “The Negro cannot win as long as he is willing to sacrifice the lives of his children for comfort and safety.” She added, “How can the ‘Dream’ survive if we murder the children? Every aborted baby is like a slave in the womb of his or her mother. The mother decides his or her fate.”

I hope those missing teens are found and saved. I also pray The Washington Post story will multiply the missing by a million each and discuss the abortion tragedy. But it seems that Post editors don’t see it that way. Yesterday they put a scare headline on a story: “Defunding Planned Parenthood would lead to thousands more birth, CBO says.” The horror!

Perhaps I should’ve been a bit more specific concerning this part:

Please open all of our (and their) hearts up to Your almighty Power of Holy Spirit, to accept Jesus Christ as our (and their) only personal Lord and Savior, to do Your will and Your way, to glorify YOU in EVERY way possible.

Heavenly Father,

Even more specifically, keep us alert, and searching, for:

1. opportunities to comfort, console, help and continually pray for and with the families/loved ones of the victims and
2. signs of suspicious activity, which would either return those missing ones to safety and prevent further evil to them or others.

Heavenly Father,

Thank you for waking us up-, and alerting us, to this frenetic, inconceivable and heart-breaking matter of all missing persons of all ages, but especially missing black and Hispanic persons.

Whether their abduction is out of greed, control, hate, fear, compulsions/addictions or other evil, PLEASE shield them, as only You can do, in their captivity, from ALL harm, pain, stress and agony.

Please strengthen them to survive, and recover from, ANY traumatic abuses, and rescue them to ultimate safety and stability.

Please open all of our (and their) hearts up to Your almighty Power of Holy Spirit, to accept Jesus Christ as our (and their) only personal Lord and Savior, to do Your will and Your way, to glorify YOU in EVERY way possible.

I hopefully and humbly ask You these things in Jesus’ precious name, I faithfully accept them and I gratefully thank You for them. Amen (so be it).

May The Lord Have Mercy,

When a woman is in labor, she has pain, because her hour has come. But when her child is born, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy of having brought a human being into the world. John 16:21

I get tired of listening to which race is being aborted. Any little one that is being aborted is one too many. I am tired of always listening just to how many black ones are. Each little one is important, they are made in Gods image. It’s way over time this country quits funding anything like Planned Parenthood, they need to quit butchering babies, and quit calling it legal !!

I’m sorry, my point is Derrica does not state who the 45% are. Not the 55%. We already know who they are.

Over the last few years I have been hearing mainly Christians speaking out about all the Black abortions. Now I know all about Margaret Sanger and her pamphlet “The Breeding of the Thoroughbred”. I have heard Alveda King talk. None of these people or articles give the statistics for how many white children are being aborted compared to black. Not even Alveda King. Or how many have gone missing. This article helps to give some clues and I would sure like to hear some talk about this.

Below is the Post article from above:

A paragraph from the Post article: “Derrica Wilson, co-founder and chief executive of the Black and Missing Foundation, said that people of color account for 40 percent of all missing people in the country.” That’s more true than she may know. About 36 percent of all the babies aborted in the United States are black (and 19 percent are Hispanic).

Now according to the article above let’s do some math: She states that 36 percent of abortions are Black and 19 percent are Hispanic of all abortions in the country. 36 + 19= 55%, wouldn’t you agree? That leaves 45 percent of some other nationality being aborted. Almost half of the entire population of aborted children and far higher than the Black abortions and yet they are not mentioned. Interestingly Derrica Wilson doesn’t state who those 55 percent are. That is huge. I would bet that most of that 55% is white. We know they are not black. We know they are not Hispanic. Why are we not talking about this? Do white lives not matter?

I will pray for ALL people. They are all important to God no matter the color. White people seem to be grossly ignored nowadays.

Please, LORD, help us all to find our Final Home with You, in the End.

Human beings are created to be containers for the presence of God. Representatives, ambassadors in the kingdom of God. Let abortion and this genocide break our hearts as it breaks the heart of God. Open the Eyes the blind. Send forth your Sdpirit O Lord and renew the face of the Earth. Jesus Show Yourself Strong on the behalf of your people and give them the courage to speak with one voice as Oracles of righteousness, truth, Love, and your salvation. LIFE, Worth Defending. Job 17:3 “You must defend my innocence O Lord, since no one else will stand up for me.” NLV
