This pro-life woman may have saved yours

To the two black men who cursed my wife at the stop sign at 13th and High Street in Keokuk because of her pro-life bumper stickers: Though you did not use racial slurs, the pejoratives you chose were offensive.
l I would have you know that a black baby is three times as likely to be aborted than a white baby (Guttmacher Institute report).
l While 12 percent of all women are African-American, 30 percent submit to abortions.
l In the past 30 years, more than 25 percent of the black population has been aborted.
The woman you cursed has worked tirelessly in saving not a few of these babies from death. She is old enough to be your grandmother and she may even have played a role in your very presence on earth.
