Thank you, Bill Sargent. Your compassion is comforting. It is too true that the African-American population has been targeted by racist Planned Parenthood and they have been successful in their ugly campaign to lure Black women into those death chambers where the workers smile and smile and kill and kill.
Let’s do more to promote marriage so that women are not left alone to raise children, and let’s promote economic policies that allow families to afford housing. I mention only a few steps here that have no champion yet. Banks should stop lending money for consumables, and as an interim step, their interest rates should be tied to the Consumer Price Index, not market values. Banks should be stopped from lending money they do not in fact actually have in reserve so that their ‘money’ is only an entry in the borrower’s account sheet. Excess banking profits (that can be determined by a variety of methods) should be returned to the community on a yearly basis.
We could encourage grants to the poor for housing from charities. Housing is the biggest contributor to stability in a family, even more important than higher wages, and housing is in a crisis presently. Our support for the unborn needs to be accompanied by help for the poor that is not a socialist handout but a thoughtful Christian economy.
An excellent book on how to achieve an economy honoring private property while building a financially strong community is Brian McCall’s The Church and the Usurer. It’s available at Angelus Press.
