Here is one voice of reason doing some good work in the black community but notice that he is also opposed by people with Reverend in their title.
Hoye has bigger plans, hoping to eventually open chapters of Issues4Life across the country as a way to create a “one-stop shopping place” where black leaders, particularly pastors, will be able to get the information they need to teach others about the problem.
“We want to create opportunities to dialogue on issues concerning life, and abortion is the leading cause of death in the African American community,” Hoye said. “It is a moral issue as far as the church is concerned, and we want to strengthen the African American leadership.
“We have always taught abstinence. That is Christianity 101. But when people decide to have sex outside of marriage, we want to do other things like post-abortion counseling, anger management, day care and recovery programs.”
Hoye said he sees a problem with abortion clinics located in black neighborhoods and says people should be just as concerned with them as they are homicides, liquor stores and genocide in Africa.
But not everyone agrees with him.
The Rev. Amos Brown, president of the San Francisco branch of the NAACP, said that abortion is not a civil rights issue and that he has no plans to take part in the events.
