Black Leaders Decry HRC's ‘Unconscionable Silence' over Black Abortion
[Breitbart] In an "open letter" to Democratic Presidential candidate Hillary Clinton, a group of leading black Christian clergy and intellectuals are denouncing Clinton’s complicity in America’s abortion crisis, which it says has had a "catastrophic impact" on the black community.
The 26 prominent black Christian leaders, including eight African American bishops, assailed Clinton for what they call her "unconscionable silence in the face of such destruction of innocent black life," through her vigorous support of the U.S. abortion industry.
"Black babies are dying at terrifying rates," states the letter, a copy of which was sent to Breitbart News. "Don’t black lives matter?"
On Monday afternoon, Dr. Jacqueline C. Rivers presented "An Open Letter to Hillary Clinton Regarding Religious Freedom for Black America" to Clinton Campaign Headquarters in Brooklyn, requesting a meeting with Clinton to discuss several critical issues in the black community, including "justice for the unborn."
"Secretary Clinton, we are also very concerned about your position regarding unborn children and the black church’s commitment to defend them," the letter declares. Two weeks ago, Clinton reiterated her unflagging defense of abortion-on-demand and Planned Parenthood.
