Title: Dr. Alveda King - 'The Dream' is Not Yet Fulfilled Post by: nChrist on November 17, 2008, 11:37:35 AM Dr. Alveda King - 'The Dream' is Not Yet Fulfilled
by Staff November 17, 2008 ATLANTA, (christiansunite.com) -- Dr. Alveda King, Pastoral Associate of Priests for Life and niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., said today that the struggle for unborn children's civil rights will continue. "The election of an African American president sends a powerful and historic message that what was previously unthinkable can become reality," said Dr. King. "The battle for equal rights has reached a major milestone, but Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s dream of full equality remains just a dream as long as unborn children continue to be treated no better than property." "President-elect Obama has promised actions that will only increase the number of abortions. Pro-lifers, in turn, must promise to redouble our efforts to resist anti-life proposals, speak up for the babies, and, above all, pray," added Dr.King. "We must pray with persistence and love that, in God's time, what is now deemed unthinkable will become reality - that all our brothers in sisters, from conception to natural death, will be protected in law and welcomed in society. The elections are over. The pro-life battle begins anew." Priests for Life is the nation's largest Catholic pro- life organization dedicated to ending abortion and euthanasia.
