Pro-Lifers' Twitter Account Suspended For Challenging The NAACP's View On Abortion

From the Christian Newswire, which was emailed to Booker Rising: "This Friday, February 1, 2013, a number of black groups, churches and community activists with the National Black Prolife Coalition (NBPLC) will be protesting the NAACP 44th Image Awards Show. However, their twitter account @NAACP_WATCHDOGS was suspended."

The news release continues about their anti-abortion activities: "The black groups were drawing attention to what they claim is the failure of the civil rights organization to represent the best interests of the community. The issues range from abortion, traditional marriage, destruction of the black family and the extraordinarily high incarceration rate of black men. Protesters from across the nation will assemble in Los Angeles to declare that the NAACP has betrayed the black community."

More about the policy disagreement with the NAACP: "The group was circulating their message via Twitter and Facebook. However, since they attacked the NAACP via the Twitter Account, the NAACP Image Awards officials complained and it was suspended. The last Tweet sent out was a quote by Dr. Johnny Hunter, National Director of Life Education And Resource Network (LEARN) who said 'Racist elitists no longer need the Ku Klux Klan to control blacks; they have Planned Parenthood. And Planned Parenthood has the NAACP on a leash.'"
