By Harriet Bradley, Director of African American Outreach There is an expression that it takes a village to raise a child. This is so true for my community. As an African American woman, I have seen African American teenagers become pregnant as young as 14.  For the most part, the African American community will come together to help that teenager keep and raise her child instead of having an abortion.

 Wednesday, November 9, 2022 - Fairfax, VA  — Democrats for Life of America (DFLA) warns Democratic leaders that the election results are not a mandate to advance an extreme abortion agenda nationwide. Instead it is an opportunity for Democrats to take the lead on supporting women, children and families.    “In the aftermath of Dobbs, Democrats spent one-third of their advertising budget advancing an extreme agenda successfully packaged as protecting women’s rights,” said Kristen Day, Executive Director of DFLA. “It was in fact a very expensive cheap shot that temporarily may have limited Democratic losses in the near aftermath of Dobbs, but endangers our Party...
