Dear friends, as director of African-American Outreach (AAO) for Priests for Life, please allow me to say, “be encouraged as you continue to preserve true human rights and fundamental freedoms; life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.”
Today we gather at the World Meeting of Families to proclaim that the family is a cornerstone of our society. Yet as we gather together, that cornerstone is being chipped away by forces that want to destroy our communities, that want to destroy our families and our very lives.
Yes, today we are witnessing attempts to distort the meaning of human rights in order to advance an evil agenda; one that is authored by the father of confusion and lies.
This agenda destroys life, family and communities.
We must resist this agenda with all our might. We must not fall for the deceptions of the anti-procreation agenda; rather we must continue to expose their lies and affirm the truth that God made us all equal as human beings, understanding that all behaviors do not have equivalent worth and outcomes.
It is urgent that we stand as a united people in defending the beauty and future of the natural family and the beauty and innocence of all our children. Too many young lives have been lost to child abuse, abortion and the sickening trade of selling aborted baby parts. Please do not participate in this evil and risk the Lord’s great and coming wrath.
I urge you to defend the integrity of just laws and remember as my uncle Martin Luther King Jr. said, “Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere.”
My uncle ML, my father the Rev. A.D. King, and my grandfather Daddy King were all pro-life during their lifetimes. They didn’t believe that abortion was a civil right. They would never have agreed that abortion and carcinogenic birth control methods are health care. They never discovered the hidden agenda of death birthed by Margaret Sanger and Planned Parenthood. They also refused to associate the anti-natural life and marriage agenda with the civil rights movement.
We have always been a strong family. Granddaddy convinced my mother not to abort me in 1950. Abortion was illegal back then. Two decades later, after the deaths of my daddy and uncle, when abortion was becoming legal in America, I suffered two secret abortions and a miscarriage. In the mid 1970s, Granddaddy once again stepped in and convinced me not to abort another baby. I once was blind and now I see.
My family bloodline has had a Christian worldview for generations. As an example of this, Uncle Martin Luther King Jr. clung to the Scriptures and refused to acknowledge human sexuality and abortion rights as issues that needed to be addressed on the public platform where the battle for skin color equity was being engaged.
