DESCRIPTION:

The day (Wednesday September 23rd 2020) before President Donald J. Trump announced his signing of the Born-Alive Executive Order (https://youtu.be/FRORdZsyOnU​).

Black pro-life leaders, including Evangelist Alveda Celeste King, Catherine Davis, Amie Beth Shaver, Pastor Clenard H. Childress, Jr., Johnny McClurkin Hunter, DD, Pastor Stephen Edward Broden and Walter B. Hoye II, gathered in Montgomery, Alabama on Tuesday, September 22nd, 2020 in support of the Life Legal Defense Foundation’s (LLDF) petition to protect Black American children from abortion.

Life Legal filed the petition with the Alabama Supreme Court, arguing that Black American children deserve equal protection under the law.

Tuesday, September 22nd, 2020, marks the anniversary of the preliminary "Emancipation Proclamation", which challenged the legal status of slaves and committed the resources of the U.S. government to "recognize and maintain" the freedom of Black Americans in America.

Alabama's Constitutional Amendment 930 recognizes and supports the sanctity of life and the rights of unborn children, including the right to life, and ensures "the protection of the rights of the unborn child."

Amendment 930 passed by an overwhelming margin. Nearly 60% of voters agreed that babies' lives matter even in the womb.

But state officials have failed to enforce Amendment 930.

As a result, more than 15,000 unborn children perished by abortion in the two (2) years since the Amendment was passed. Most of those are Black American babies. Over 60% of abortions in the state of Alabama are committed on Black American children.

Yet Black Americans make up just under 27% of the total population of the state of Alabama. Black American children in Alabama are over three (3) times more likely to be aborted than children of other races.

This is not an accident.
