We were grateful to host the third edition of the Social for Life with our colleagues from the Philanthropy Committee and the Catholic Caucus. The New York City Director of Love Life, Lisa Washington, gave an encouraging speech on her life story as it gave her divine motivation to protect the lives of the unborn in New York City, especially those of black babies.
She gave some damning statistics regarding black pregnancies for 4 of the 5 boroughs of NYC in 2021. In Queens County, per 100 births, there were 71 abortions. In Kings County (Brooklyn), for every 100 births, there were 100 abortions. The Bronx produced 72 abortions per 100 births. And in Manhattan, there were 116 abortions for every 100 births.
In 2022, the Supreme Court ruled in the Dobbs’ decision and overturned Roe vs. Wade. We are thankful that we are making progress politically and corporately, continuing to celebrate the victories, large or small.
All proceeds from the event have been donated to Love Life NYC. If you would like to donate to this organization, please check the link tree in our bio.
