PHILADELPHIA, April 3, 2013 /Christian Newswire/ -- A press conference will be held by Dr. Day Gardner of the National Black Pro-Life Union, Rev. Dr. Clenard Childress, Jr., Founder of BlackGenocide.org, Cheryl Sullenger of Operation Rescue, and others on Thursday, April 4, to comment on the latest developments in the Kermit Gosnell murder trial. Dr. Gardner and Mrs. Sullenger have attended the trial this week.
Gosnell is accused of the first degree murder of seven live newborns by snipping their spinal cords with scissors and the third degree murder of abortion patient Karnamaya Mongar at his "House of Horrors" abortion clinic in West Philadelphia.
Dr. Day Gardner is the founder and President of The National Black Pro Life Union, Associate Director of National Pro Life Center on Capitol Hill and an executive member of the National Clergy Council. She made history when, as Miss Delaware, she became the first black woman to be named as a semi-finalist of the internationally renowned Miss America Pageant, breaking through numerous racial and stereotypical roadblocks for others to follow. She is an outspoken advocate on life issues.
Rev. Dr. Clenard Childress, Jr. is a noted community activist, author, and speaker. In 2002, he birthed the Pro-life website Blackgenocide.org. This website was designed to reach the Afro-American Community with the truth about abortion. Pastor Childress is also a member of the National Pro-Life Religious Council of Washington, DC.
Cheryl Sullenger is Senior Policy Advisor for Operation Rescue who writes extensively on abortion abuses. Her complaints filed against abortionists around the nation have brought to light the illegal activity and substandard practices that are pervasive throughout the abortion industry.
"The Gosnell trial is exposing the shoddy nature of the abortion cartel like never before and the shocking truth of how the black community is particularly targeted for abortion. While not every clinic duplicates Gosnell's 'house of horrors,' there are aspects of his appalling practices present in nearly every abortion clinic in the country," said Sullenger.
Operation Rescue is one of the leading pro-life Christian activist organizations in the nation and has become a strong voice for the pro-life movement in America. Click here to support Operation Rescue.
