Leaders Seek Justice for Jailed Pro-life Pastor

Baptist Pastor Walter B. Hoye is now behind bars for holding a poster that read, "Jesus loves you and your baby. Let us help you," outside an Oakland abortion clinic – "This is Constitutional lynching" warn Black leaders. Citing a statute banning Hoye's freedom of speech and religion March 20, Alameda Superior Court Judge Stuart Hing told Hoye to abandon his post near an abortion clinic or be jailed.

Hoye's spokesman, Rev. Dion Evans, Pastor of Chosen Vessels Christian Church in Oakland said: "Walter's jailed, five on duty policemen are gunned down, babies are dying in abortion mills. Pray against the scourge of violence."

Confronting Hoye's campaign, Oakland City Council's ordinance criminalizes peaceful intervention like Hoye's while permitting others to encourage and escort women into the abortion clinic.

"This is government sponsored eugenics, siding with those who want to exterminate Blacks; creating laws limiting our freedom of speech," said Catherine Davis, Georgia Right to Life's Minority Outreach Director.

Hoye spoke with Congressional Black Caucus members Jesse Jackson, Jr. and John Conyers last week to garner their support in upholding his Constitutional rights.

"This gag order against Black ministers is outrageous. We call on the Caucus to intervene in this Jim Crow America nightmare. Our procreative health is at stake," said the leaders.

LEARN National Director Dr. Johnny Hunter said: "Public policy must be viewed through a moral compass, taking the country in the right direction, lest we lose our way.  Remember this Oakland before banning our freedom to speak out against abortion."

"Martin Luther King, Jr. said injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere," quoted Priests for Life Pastoral Associate Dr. Alveda King.  She wrote to the Caucus seeking justice for Hoye, and investigation of the incarceration of nine students in Birmingham last January for a similar incident.

National Black Pro-Life Union President Day Gardner urges nonviolent action: "I urge pastors to go to Oakland to stand in Reverend Hoye's place. Black women need to know we don't have to kill our children to have better lives."

Pastor Stephen Broden from Fairpark Bible Fellowship in Dallas Texas agrees: "Abortion's scourge is ravaging the Black community. Like Walter, I'll stand before the abortion mills, offering our women assistance."

"Walter's love and courage will assure his and our victory in defending the unborn" said www.Blackgenocide.org founder Rev. Clenard Childress.

, America is suffering from what could turn out to be a terminal illness. Murdering innocent pre-born babies is a cowardly,dirty, dispicable act. The irony of the situation is that so-called Black Leaders who like to be seen in the media, support Black Genocide like Easu who gave up hs birthright for a bowl of soup. Planned Parenthood has a program that most so-called Black Leaders have bought hook, Line and Sinker; the plan is called "Black Family Planning, which when translated means we ie; Plannned Parenthood Plan to Kill You. God Bless Brother Walter Hoye ll for his Christian witness against Murder of Innocent Pre-born babies. Nationwide Revival is the only Hope for America

God have Mercy!

I am a Christian who loves Jesus Christ and believes that God's Word is final authority. God says,"Thou shall NOT KILL." Why is it ok to kill unborn babies in this country yet our freedom of speech is being taken away more and more everyday? Who are we to obey man or God? I choose God Almighty! I say Way to Go Pastor for standing up for God's Word and may He bless you and give you favor to win against such evilness that seems to be running rapid in this country just as in the day of Noah.
