Dr. Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, has asked why leading Democratic candidates for president haven't mentioned abortion. Here's a quote from her regarding the recent debate on African-American issues: "John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama talked about the disproportionate number of blacks who die from AIDS, yet no one said a word about another disproportionately high killer of African-Americans, abortion. "Blacks comprise 12 percent of the population, yet at least one-third of the babies aborted in this country are African-American. Why? "And more to the point, why are politicians afraid to talk about this? If they're really concerned about racism in America, the abortion industry is an obvious place to start looking." |
