We march against white injustice, but we won’t say a word about the genocide happening in our own neighborhoods. Black women are 15% of America’s women of child bearing age, yet we account for nearly 40% of abortions. That’s not freedom. That’s erasure. Whole generations of us are gone, and we’re still calling it choice. And that’s why Black people have been stuck at 13% of the population since 1973.
Biblical Lens:
Psalm 139:13–16 says God forms every life in the womb. He sees us before we’re even born. So abortion isn’t just a political issue. It’s sin against the One who gives life.
The Hypocrisy:
- We’ll call out white supremacy for destroying Black lives, but abortion has taken more of us than police ever have.
- If a white person says this, we scream “racism.” If one of us says it, we call it “anti-woman.” Either way, the truth doesn’t change.
- Even in the church, too many stay quiet. Afraid to offend. Afraid to lose popularity. Meanwhile, babies die in silence.
The Reality:
Abortion doesn’t just end a pregnancy. It ends legacy. It keeps men from taking responsibility. It leaves scars on women that no protest sign can heal. It makes death look like empowerment.
The Call:
We can’t fight for justice outside our community while killing justice inside the womb. We can’t shout “Black Lives Matter” while agreeing that the smallest Black lives don’t. This isn’t politics. It’s repentance. God has already spoken. Life is His.
Closing Prayer Thought:
Lord, forgive us for treating Your creation like it’s disposable. Heal our hearts and give us the courage to protect life, no matter who tries to silence us.
