Pro-life presence at NAACP dinner

naacp 1.jpgAll eyes were on keynote speaker Rev. Jeremiah Wright last night at the NAACP Detroit chapter's 53rd annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner.

But pro-lifers gave the whopping crowd of 10,000 entering the event something else to focus on: abortion and black genocide.

3 black pastors organized the protest, and "there were more blacks participating in the protest than I have ever seen," wrote Judy. "It was very effective to see them holding the Margaret Sanger quotes and sharing truth."naacp 3.jpg

Judy said that while Detroit police - including many white - have in past years been "belligerent and confrontational" to pro-life protesters at these NAACP dinners, this year they were "friendly and receptive," even accepting literature.

In fact, pro-lifers distributed thousands of flyers. "We had very few refuse," wrote Judy.
