ABORTIONS DECREASE ON GENESEE COUNTY "RESIDENTS" FOR THE 10TH YEAR IN A
ROW |
|
Welcome to Flint Area Right to Life and Genesee County Black Americans for Life. You are visiting the website of one of the busiest pro-life organizations in the Nation. |
| We are located in Genesee County, Michigan which ranks fourth in our state for abortions. Our organization was formed in 1974, the year after the United States Supreme Court in the Roe vs. Wade and Doe vs Bolton cases legalized abortion in America for all nine months of a pregnancy. Those rulings have resulted in the loss of 54 million American citizens from surgical abortion and untold more from chemical abortion. - over one third of those aborted unborn children were African Americans. |
| Our organization works hard to share the message of life by offering alternatives to men and women contemplating abortion such as the loving option of adoption. |
| According to the Michigan Department of Community Health, abortions on "residents" in our county have declined continuously for the past ten years. We attribute that decline to all of the billboards we have put up, the pro-life radio ads running in our community and the numerous outreach activities that we do in our schools, churches and at civic events. |
