National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life: check it out.

A disturbing fact, from a couple of years back, I don't know what the status of this statistic is today, but a couple of years ago, more black children were aborted in Harlem than were born. Tragedy!!

Franciscan Father Jim Goode, OFM, Founder and President of the National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life believes that it is time for the African American Community to realize the great threat that abortion is to the future of all Black Americans. More than 13 million African American babies have been killed since abortion was legalized in 1973. Black women have a third of all the abortions even though Blacks are only 12% of the U.S. population- it’s a horrible tragedy. The National Black Catholic Apostolate for Life joins hands with the National Right to Life’s Black Americans for Life outreach to spread the good news that we are all God’s children and that we need to work together to protect life—all human life.
