The founder and president of the American Life League has issued an open letter to the NAACP condemning the civil rights organization for claiming abortion is a "racial justice issue."
The Feb. 15 letter, signed by ALL President Judie Brown and addressed to NAACP President and CEO Derrick Johnson, takes issue with a resolution the NAACP released last year acknowledging "reproductive justice as a core principle of civil and human rights" and maintaining there is a "fundamental right to abortion."
The resolution, titled "Women's Rights to Reproductive Freedom and Health," claims that abortion access is "a racial justice issue."
Noting how nearly 20 million black babies have been aborted since the U.S. Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade in 1973, Brown questioned the group's rhetoric by sharing the latest data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Abortion Surveillance Report, which found almost 42% of abortions in the U.S. are of black children.
"That's over 1,000 babies every day! Abortion is the ultimate racism," Brown wrote.
