A speech delivered by Dr. Johnny Hunter, DD
At Persecuted for Christ! <\/em>Coordinated Press Conferences on Thursday, Jan. 17, 2019 at the National Press Club <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Next Monday, our nation will be celebrating\nthe life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. One of his often quoted\nstatements is: \u201cInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are\ncaught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of\ndestiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly.\u201d
\n\u2015 Martin Luther King Jr., Letter from\nthe Birmingham Jail<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so it is with the atrocities upon\ninnocent, defenseless children and the persecution of Christians around the\nworld. Whenever God has raised up a leader in a generation with a great destiny\nof breaking the shackles that held it back, the enemy has targeted that\ngeneration. It was done during the time that Hebrews were slaves in the land of\nEgypt. As their population grew, Pharaoh ordered all male babies to be put to\ndeath at birth. However, the courage of two Hebrew midwives to let the children\nlive, saved many, including Moses. The females in Moses\u2019 life which included\nhis mother, the midwives, his sister, Pharaoh’s daughter and her servants saved\na child and a nation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The enemy had a plot, but God had a plan.\nIt was as if since Pharaoh had ordered the death of Hebrew males, God sent\nMoses to be raised in Pharaoh\u2019s house, to pay his mother for feeding him, with\nroyal servants educating him and teaching him to be a leader for 40 years. Then\nhe was exiled for 40 years and lived a servant. Then in the next 40 years he\nreturned as a servant-leader to bring deliverance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And so it was when Jesus was born. Herod\nordered the death of children throughout the land and Jesus’s parents had to\ntake him to Egypt for a while to keep him alive. For Christians around the\nglobe, Jesus Christ became the deliverer of all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yet, in this nation, like in the Bible, we\nhad slavery first. After slavery, the agenda to keep the population down of\nthose freed, was introduced. Margaret Sanger, a white supremacist, founded the\nAmerican Birth Control League. Their motto was \u201cMore for the fit and less for\nthe unfit.\u201d She executed the Negro Project to eliminate people of color. When\nthe atrocities of genocide by Adolf Hitler were exposed as the holocaust,\nMargaret Sanger changed the name of her organization to Planned Parenthood.\nTheir motto changed to \u201cEvery child a wanted child.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only did the eugenics institute control\npopulation with forced sterilization and birth control pills, they went all out\nto decriminalize abortion, the dismembering of babies in their mothers’ wombs.\nIn 1973, abortion advocates succeeded in the Supreme Court of the United States\nwith the Roe v. Wade decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, over 4,000 babies a day are murdered\nand extracted from their mother’s wombs by abortions and abortifacient drugs.\nSome abortions were even done by bringing the baby’s feet out and just as the\nhead was coming, the abortionist stabbed the baby in the back of the neck. They\nused a machine to suck the baby’s brain out. Of the 4,000, murdered each day,\nabout 1,400 are from the targeted minority \u2013 the black community. In this\ncountry, the vast majority of the abattoirs, human slaughterhouses, so-called\nabortion clinics (and clinics they are not \u2013 death not health<\/em>) are in\nminority neighborhoods. Although, folks like Sanger knew that women in the\nwhite community would be aborting, that was considered collateral damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After the release of the documentary movie,\nMaafa 21 \u2013 Black Genocide in 21st<\/sup> Century America, many minorities\nwere shocked to learn the true agenda of population controllers. The\ndocumentary made the case that this was a direct effort by eugenicists to deal\nwith the descendants of slaves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2009, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader\nGinsburg confirmed that agenda in an interview for the New York Times Magazine\nwhen she said, \u201cFrankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there\nwas concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that\nwe don\u2019t want to have too many of.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since Roe v Wade, in the United States, it\nis estimated 60 million unborn babies have been killed by abortions. In cities\nlike New York, the number of abortions is greater than the number of live\nbirths. To make matters worse, with the help of the United Nations, abortion\nhas been pushed upon other countries under the guise of healthcare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My grandfather was the descendant of an\nIrish slave owner and one of his female slaves. I asked the late Arthur\nColbert, a Josephite priest and pro-life activist in a wheelchair, why he was\nso dedicated to standing against abortion. \nHe stated that the Josephite order was created to help slaves. With\ntears in his eyes, he stated, \u201cAbortion is worse than slavery. At least, the\nslave got to smell the flowers.\u201d As a descendant of slaves, I agree.  Yet, I hold no ill feelings to those who held\nmy forefathers captive. Like Joseph, because what was meant for evil, God used\nfor good and caused me to be born in this nation to help save lives \u2013\nespecially the lives of those yet be born in this nation and abroad.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But repeating what Dr. King said,\n\u201cInjustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an\ninescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever\naffects one directly, affects all indirectly.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

LifeSite News.com recently reported that\nstatistics compiled by Worldometers indicate that in 2018 there were nearly 42\nmillion abortions world-wide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Jesus’s teaching recorded in the 25th<\/sup>\nchapter of Matthew contains a haunting passage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

 \u201cThen the righteous will answer Him, saying, \u2018Lord, when\ndid we see You hungry and feed You,<\/em>\nor thirsty and give You<\/em> drink? When did we see You a stranger and take You<\/em> in, or naked and clothe You?<\/em> Or when\ndid we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?\u2019 And\nthe King will answer and say to them, \u2018Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you\ndid it<\/em> to one of the least of these\nMy brethren, you did it<\/em> to Me.\u2019\u201d  Matthew 25:37-40<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen they also\nwill answer Him, saying, \u2018Lord, when did we see You hungry or thirsty or a\nstranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not minister to You?\u2019 Then He will answer them, saying, \u2018Assuredly, I say to\nyou, inasmuch as you did not do it<\/em> to\none of the least of these, you did not do it<\/em>\nto Me.\u2019 And these will go away into everlasting\npunishment, but the righteous into eternal life.\u201d    Matthew 25:44-46<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is a human being any least than when\nthey are in their mother’s womb? Each child aborted is a child who was not fed\n\u2013 who never tasted their mother’s milk. Each child aborted is a child who was\nnever given a drink of water. Each child aborted is a stranger whose names\npeople will never know nor be adopted. Each child aborted will never wear a\ndiaper, nor those cute little baby clothes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As people lack compassion for the least of\nthese; they lack compassion for Jesus Christ and all who are called Christians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is time to be like the civil rights\nmovement and have an open casket for Emmett Till so that the world can see the\nhate behind the atrocities of persecuting fellow human beings.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
