Day Gardner of the National Black Pro-Life Union Comments on The Supreme Court's Rulings that Neither Blacks nor the Pre-born are 'Fully Human'
March 12, 2009
MEDIA ADVISORY, (christiansunite.com) -- Day Gardner, president of the National Black Pro-Life Union submits this statement regarding the anniversary of the decision of the Supreme Court/Dred Scott Case:
"One hundred and fifty seven years ago today Dred Scott, a black slave, petitioned the Supreme for his freedom, but was denied. In the case known as the Dred Scott decision, the Supreme Court ruled that slaves--even freed slaves, and all their descendants, had no rights protected by the Constitution and that states had no right to abolish slavery.
The reasoning in Dred Scott and Roe v. Wade is nearly identical. In both cases the Court stripped all rights from a class of human beings and reduced them to nothing more than the property of others.
In the Dred Scott case of 1857 the Supreme Court said:
Dred Scott was not fully human. He was the property of his owner -- and therefore he had no rights at all. The Court stated that because
Dred Scott was not deemed "fully human", he could be bought, sold or even killed at the owner's discretion.
In the Roe v. Wade case of 1973 the Supreme Court said the same thing:
A baby is the property of his/her mother -- and that he/she is not fully human, therefore he/she has no rights at all. The Court stated that because an unborn baby is not deemed "fully human" he/she can be bought, sold or even killed at the mother's whim.
The Dred Scott Decision implied that even if slavery is cruel and degrading, slaves are not human and so their suffering is as ethically important or unimportant as the suffering of domestic animals and they do not have any rights that would justify the abolition of slavery.
There are also those heartless people today who say while abortion is cruel and gruesome, babies are not wanted, therefore their suffering is unimportant or even less important than the suffering of domestic animals and therefore do not have any rights that would justify ending the atrocity of abortion.
In the Court's eyes, unborn children are now the same "beings of an inferior order" that the justices considered Blacks to be over a century ago.
We must all come to realize that if we are the truly America that holds life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness so dear -- then we must obliterate the scourge of abortion from our midst otherwise we are no better than the those who perpetrate the conflict in Darfur, or any other country where human beings are enslaved, butchered or denied their rights just because they are meeker or weaker.
Day Gardner is the president of the National Black Pro- Life Union headquartered in Washington, DC. "
Sounds l ike they used the same old tired arguments in the slave industry as used in the abortion industry today. As my good friend in the ministry, Ryan Dillman and I were discussing, today it must be about education. The public tide against slavery didn't begin in England until William Wilberforce made people aware of what really happened on the slave ships. WE must do the same with the abortuaries...keith 1 Cor 13

Australia, Obama, and Ota Benga


I was reading the Evansville Courier today and found this article on Willie Morse, who served as a "Buffalo Soldier" during WWII. Willie, who you see pictured on the right, is 81 years old now. His mother, who lived to be 101, came to America on a slave ship from Africa. The fact that we gave names like "Buffalo Soldier" to those who fought with us for our freedom is anathema to me.This past November marked the first time in our history as a nation that we elected an African-American to the highest office in the land. This event shows we have come a long way since the days of slavery, the first time a human being was thought of as property at his owner's disposal in this nation. No, I don't agree with most of the President's social and economic policies. Our teleprompter in chief doesn't quite seem to "get it' when it comes to moral reform. But, we as Americans can be proud we have made some progress.
Darwinism and the "theory" of evolution have fueled many of the racist movements over the past couple of centuries. Just look at Hitler and others and all the evil associated with their ideas. I agree with Ken Ham,of Answers in Genesis Ministries. Race is actually a word favored mostly by evolutionists. I like his choice "people groups" far better. After all, unless we are from another planet, we all belong to the human race.
One of the most extreme examples of Darwinist racism is the story of Ota Benga. Ota Benga was a Congolese pygmie caught in the Congo and placed in a New York Zoo in 1906. He was placed in a cage for everyone's amusement. The movies "Quigley Down Under" and the recent "Australia" give an excellent portrayel how the Congolese and Aborigine people have been treated over the years.
As Wesleyans we can be proud that we were among the first to admit women and African-Americans to our colleges and universities. Wesley summed it up best in his qoute you find under his picture on this blogspot,"Where is the justice in inflicting the severist evils on those that have done us no wrong."
Yes, we have made some progress and should keep striving for that ideal of equality among everyone. In the process, let us not forget those living among us in their mother's womb, and pray that one day they will be given the same rights...keith 1 Cor 13
