For the third year in a
row, Right to Life of Michigan Educational Fund is sponsoring a Life
Speaker Series during Black History Month in February. The speakers
will educate about the issue of abortion in the black community.
Abortion
disproportionately affects the black community. While blacks make up
only 14 percent of the Michigan population, 47 percent of abortions
were performed on black women in 2011.
The first event was held on February 6 in Detroit at Oasis of Hope Christian Church. The series will include five more events
throughout February, each featuring a different speaker and church.
All of the events are free of charge and open to all. They will feature
opportunities to drop off unopened packages of diapers and baby wipes
to be donated to local pregnancy resource centers. During the 2012
series people donated 14,561 diapers and 20,193 baby wipes.
