BA4L (Black Americans for Life)

Black Americans for Life is a non-partisan, non-profit 501(c)(3)Christian organization committed to protecting the sanctity of all human life from conception to natural death.  We believe that all God’s children are precious and deserve to be protected regardless of race, economic or social status, however, according to statistics black women are at least 4.8 times more likely to abort their babies than non-Hispanic white women.  For this reason, we believe that a particular emphasis on changing the hearts and minds of these women is necessary.




Statement of Faith
  1. We believe there is one God, eternally existing in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
  2. We believe that the Bible is God’s written revelation to man, that it is inspired, authoritative, and without error in the original manuscripts.
  3. We believe in the deity of Jesus Christ, His virgin birth, His sinless life, His miraculous works, His substitutionary death, His bodily resurrection, His ascension into heaven, His present ministry of intercession for us, and His return to earth in power and glory.
  4. We believe in the personality and deity of the Holy Spirit, that He performs the miracle of regeneration in new believers--sealing them for the day of redemption--and then indwells them, thus enabling them to live godly lives.
  5. We believe that man was created in the image of God, but because of sin, became alienated from God. But God, while we were still sinners, demonstrated His own love toward us by sending His only Son, Jesus Christ, to die on a cross in our place. Thus, the removal of that alienation was made possible by His grace, and indeed has been applied to everyone who has trusted in the death and resurrection of Jesus Christ alone for his salvation.

    Black Americans for Life (BAL) works with a variety of groups to provide outreach to the Black community and to help save Black babies. 

    Our goal is to educate, identify and activate Black pro-life’s who will work within their local communities to build effective pro-life grass roots groups. BAL has several educational brochures to help educate and organize Black Americans.

    “The right to life is the most fundamental of all civil rights. While the right to education, healthcare, housing, or employment are important, they pale in existence to the right to live, walk, and love among us. We must stop abortion to protect the right to life for preborn children.”

    ‘Every man dies but not every man lives’


    Interesting fact: ‘Spartan soldiers were expected to fight without fear and to the last man. Surrender was viewed as the epitome of cowardice, and warriors who voluntarily laid down their arms were so shamed that they often resorted to suicide. According to the ancient historian Herodotus, two Spartan soldiers who missed out on the famous Battle of Thermopylae returned to their homeland disgraced. 

    One later hanged himself, and the other was only redeemed after he died fighting in a later engagement. Even Spartan mothers were known for their do-or-die approach to military campaigns. Spartan women are said to have sent their sons off to war with a chilling reminder: “Return with your shield or on it.” 

    If a Spartan trooper died in battle, he was viewed as having completed his duty as a citizen. In fact, the law mandated that only two classes of people could have their names inscribed on their tombstones: women who died in childbirth and men who fell in combat.’
                                                           Personal Thought: 
     Do we take our Christian life with that kind of seriousness?
