Does Democratic presidential nominee Hillary Clinton really care about the lives of unborn black babies? This was the question on radio host Dr. Michael Brown's mind when he wrote an open letter to Clinton, asking why she still supports abortion if she truly believes black lives matter.
"I know that you and Mr. Clinton have been considered real friends of the African American community to the point that, before President Obama's election, your husband was jokingly referred to as the nation's first black president," he writes on his letter.
"I also know that you have identified proudly as an 'old fashioned Methodist' and that you warmly welcomed a contingent of African American pastors who laid hands on you and anointed you as the next president," he continues.
During the NAACP convention held last July, Clinton even expressed concern that black kids are "500 percent more likely to die from asthma than white kids," and "a black baby in South Carolina is twice as likely to die before her first birthday as a white baby."
But Brown wonders how Clinton can show so much compassion to black lives outside the womb when she shows so little compassion for them while they are still inside their mothers' bellies.
"How can you affirm that black lives matter and then be the darling of Planned Parenthood, one of the greatest takers of black lives in history?" he asks her.
Brown says Planned Parenthood kills more unarmed black babies in just one day than police are accused of killing in an entire year. Black genocide is horrible, adds Brown, but instead of opposing it, Clinton celebrates a woman's "right to choose" and supports policies that lead to more abortions.
Since Clinton considers herself an "old fashioned Methodist," Brown wonders which verse in the Bible tells her that the child in the womb is not a real person.
"Don't the sacred Scriptures speak of God forming us carefully in the womb (e.g., Psalm 139:13), also attributing personhood to unborn babies to the point that they can even respond to things taking place outside the womb (e.g., Luke 1:41)?" he asks her.
Brown knows that Clinton has supported her beliefs for decades, but he sincerely hopes that she make an appeal for God and reconsider her ways.
