Reasons abound for pro-life movement’s lack of minorities

When reading the article be prepared for the onslaught of the term "anti-abortion" rather than "pro-life". Besides the headline, the term "pro-life" was used a total of 4 times - and these were from the quotes of individuals.

Yet Ron Harris, Post Dispatch Washington Correspondent, (or the Post, itself), showing it's true pro-death stance, uses the term "anti-abortion" some 14 times. Not once did I see the term "anti-life".
"For many African-Americans, the pro-life movement is perceived as a white, Republican, conservative movement," said the Rev. John Ensor, who heads the minority outreach effort Heartbeat from his office in Boston. "And that group is on the wrong side of the civil rights movement."
As if the other party is on the "right" side of the civil rights movement?

There may be something of value in the article here. It is, to be sure, a good example of an article with a largely pro-death, anti-life slant.
