Martin Luther King’s Niece is Angry at Obama for His Abortion Decision

January 25, 2009

 Martin Luther King’s niece is quiet angry at President Obama for reversing the ban on federal money being used to fund abortions in other countries.

Over 45 years ago, my uncle, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., wrote from a Birmingham jail cell that ‘injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere,’” King said in a prepared statement. “Today, there is no greater injustice than that suffered by the 4,000 babies, 1,400 of them black, who die on any given day at the hands of abortionists

 Those are some harsh words coming from the niece of MLK, and using his famous letter from the Birmingham jail is doubly critical. Alveda King was in front of this White House ready to hold a press conference once the president signed the executive order. But guess why? She had to hold the press conference before he signed the order because he waited until night time to sign it.

While Obama was expected to issue the order sometime Friday, he did not actually do so until around 7:00 p.m. that night–when weekly news coverage is at a minimum.

 Now that is what I call leadership. Wrong! This coward of a president delayed the signing of a controversial order until it would receive the least coverage, this coming after he delayed signing the order from Thursday to Friday to avoid the pro-life demonstrators who were outside protesting on the anniversary of Roe vs. Wade. President Obama had a chance to stand up and take a position on this issue but he chose to hide his stance from as many people he could by cowing in a darkened corner of the White House and signing the order when nobody was looking.
