Firing of Black Pro-Life Woman by YWCA a “Sad Commentary” on the Organization Says Dr. Alveda King

"The YWCA's slogan is 'eliminating racism, empowering women,' yet when a program designed to do just that is presented, the YWCA fires the woman who organized the event,” said Dr. King.  “It’s a sad commentary on the ‘Y’ when a group that has the word Christian in its title silences those who would want young women to choose life.  It’s even sadder that a group that claims to want to eliminate racism welcomes speakers who champion an abortion industry that has eliminated a major portion of the African American population.”
