According to thestats, released by the anti-abortion Chiaroscuro Foundation, 60 percent ofpregnancies for black women ended in abortion.

Reverend MichelFaulkner. There is something terribly wrong with this picture. As an AfricanAmerican, I cannot passively accept the demise of my community in the name ofchoice. I choose to stand up and say: why are these numbers so high? We didnot survive the middle passage and 300 years of Slavery and 100 years of JimCrow laws to suffer this. I call on every New Yorker to stand for life. We mustnot allow this trend to continue. New York City is the place where peoples futures begin,not end.
