Black Pro-Life Leader Calls for Day of Prayer on National Blackout Day

Washington, DC (LifeNews.com) --

Dr. Alveda King, the niece of the late Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr., and a representative of Priests for Life, last week endorsed the National Black Out Day scheduled for November 2. But she took a different direction as she urged participants use the day to repent and pray about abortion. "National Black Out Day is a call to African Americans to refrain from spending any money on November 2, but if it's to make any difference, it needs to include much more," she told LifeNews.com. "Any action any of us takes will be in vain if we don't humble ourselves, repent, and pray to God for His will to be done. We need to do more than refrain from buying and selling. For starters, we need to stop killing each other, and that includes paying abortionists to kill our children." Dr. King added: "Injustice is a blight on our land and we are right to protest it whenever and wherever it appears. The greatest injustice we face, though, is the denial of the right to life. Without life, no other rights exist. We need to spend National Black Out Day asking God to rid our nation of the evil of abortion."
