Many many years in the black community, representing many African Americans as an attorney with Leslie Gaines of Gains and Gains Attorneys at Law. And I know how the Black community feels generally about abortion, but it's not reflected in the politics thereof In fact, that it's darn near impossible to find an African American community leader who's a Democrat other than faith leaders who do not support a woman's right
kill her unborn, healthy baby on demand whatever. And it is a noteworthy that there's a group of more than one hundred faith and community leaders, many located in the state's capital, that say enough is enough. Approximately thirteen percent of Ohioans or African American about fifty percent of the abortions. And Margaret Sanger, who was a eugenicist, said quite often that she wanted to put her planned parenthood facilities in the black community because that's where the business is. It
also would involve killing more Black babies. And so I'm shocked that Black Democratic and or Republican leadership doesn't step forward and say enough is enough. That something in the range of thirty million Black babies have not been born the last fifty years, thirty million. The community is hurting. So it is noteworthy that Pastor Jeff Haygood, Pastor Jeff Haygood of the Living Word Church and Columbus, has step forward to join us this afternoon. And Pastor welcome, I think
for the first time to the Bill Cunningham Show. And can you tell the American people, Pastor, why you sign your name to the letter like Martin Luther did on the cathedral door in Wittenberg, Germany? Enough is enough? And why did you get involved in this fight? Well? I am distinctly, unashamedly outspokenly pro life, and so I believe anyone who is a conscientious human being, let alone a person of faith, the Bible believer, will also be pro life. When it comes to the effect of abortion on the
black community, it is so disproportionate, it is literally unbelievable. The numbers you mentioned are thirteen percent of Ohia's population, but women are eight percent of that, and obsulating women are four percent of that. Somehow we count for forty nine percent of the abortions in the state of Ohio. That is so far out of whack. Anyone who does not see that as a genocide,
a sort of genocide has to purposely be wearing blinders. Can you tell me why that practically it's well over ninety percent the Congressional Black Caucus and all the other groups, and DOAACP just line them up fall right in line with killing as many healthy unborn Black and white babies as possible. And the rape argument. I hear that less than one percent of the abortions are rape. Maybe that could be dealt with separately, not in my opinion, because life begins
a conception and ends at natural death. But can you jump in the mind of ninety percent of Black leadership when they're one hundred percent in favor of abortion on demand all the time, everywhere, and in fact government out of pay for it. White, can you get in the mind of your maybe your constituents are your parishioners, and say why that happens? Well, it's actually pretty simple. The Black community has largely sold its soul to the Democrat,
the Democratic Democratic Party. I'd often say, specifically as it pertains to the faith community, because many Black pastors are very pro Democrat and additionally pro abortion, that they are married to God but in an adulterous affair with the Democratic Party, and so they will take on causes that are not healthy for the people that they lead, and abortion is one of the most. I often say this, abortion is more racist than slavery. And here's why I say
it. Bill, you're probably talking to a person who is a descendant of a farmer slave. You will never, in your entire life have a conversation with the person who is the descendant of someone who is aborted. It is the most evil, wicked behavior in the history of humankind. I don't even know. I don't know if anything that is as close to abortion as far as how bad it is for people overall, and then specifically for the Black
community. Our leaders need to straighten up and fly right and reclaim their soul from the Democratic Party who has sold them a bag of goods and giving them some free cheese in exchange for this. So one other issue, Reverend as I go to a Roman Catholic church and the Archbishop of Cincinnati put together a letter that he had some of the pastors read, which has angered some Roman Catholics that you should not bring quote politics into the pulpit, that you ought
to stay out of it. I know on the left side of things, whether it's Reverend Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson. They bring politics into the pulpit every day, all the time. They monetize civil rights to become to become rich. And some priests have gotten blowback from parishioners after mass taking them to task for bringing politics into the pulpit. And maybe you've had the same experiences there in Columbus at your church. Can you give us the argument as to
why this isn't politics, this is something different. I mean, if the archbishop will put together a letter, hey, vote for Tony Bender and don't vote for Bill Cunningham, vote for Haygood, and don't vote for a Sharpton, that's one thing. But have you gotten blowback from parishioners of yours about
getting involved in this? Well? Absolutely, I'm once again a very outspoken about this issue and various other issues that affect the people that I lead, and I would do them a disservice if I would ignore or turn a blind eye to something that is so devastating to our community. So I've got people that had suggested that I was too political and as well and so forth. But let me say saying this, I'm not political by any stress of the
imagination. I am moral. Abortion is not a political issue. It is a moral issue that has been politicized, but the core of it is moral. God says it quite plainly. Now, shalt not kill. Case closed. It's a moral issue. It's not if we didn't have a president, a congress, a mayor, a God, or any other political person in office, it would still be wrong to kill. It's not political, it's
moral, and I have to uphold biblical morality. I have an obligation to do that based on the fact that I am a servant of the Lord. I'm going to uphold that everywhere, under all circumstances, no matter who's watching, no matter who's listening, it is wrong to take the life of a baby. And Pastor Jeff Haygod of the Living Word Church in Columbus, Ohio, I see the polling. The polling is depressing, and maybe that's an intent that we're told that Issue one is going to pass by a wide margin.
When I speak off the record to politicos, Republicans and Democrats, and the leader of the Democratic Party here in Hamlet County is a female. When I speak to I want to mention specific names. I speak to political leadership Republicans and Democrats. They're going to think that Ohio is going to act just like just like Kentucky, just like Michigan and all the Blue states. There's
no argument in the Blue states. If you're in California, New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, if you're in Washington or Oregon, they have abortion on demand through birth. No one's objecting to it. It's a state's issue. And then they're running with at big time. And in fact Illinois and Chicago, Reverend wants to have abortion tourism. That is for states such as Indiana and Ohio that made to one extent ban abortion. We'll see what happens
on Tuesday, but they want to have abortion tourism. They wanted you to go to Chicago, maybe watch the Reds, watch a Cubs game, watch the Reds play the Cubs or whatever, and get your abortion there and come back. But do you think there's particularly an evil element when they say to people, don't bother voting. It's going to be sixty forty. The polling, according to the Columbus Dispatch, is disproportionate. Is that part of the
plan. Well, it couple of things. I mentioned all of the money that has come in has been on the side of the pro abortion lobby. That's where all the money is, and so it's been very difficult from a grassroots level to match the kind of funding that we're getting on the other side. It is inherently wicked abortion. I don't want to go down the rabbit hole off the dpen, but abortion is it can the child sacrifice. It was very, very wicked, and so as far as the polling is concerned,
I don't buy it. One of the things I will mention is the held November ballot issue that would have made amending our constitution require sixty percent. If that would have this thing wouldn't have a chance. Obviously, that sailed miserably. And the last pollet I heard was it was polling at forty eight percent four versus forty two percent against, or something of that nature. I'm actually for fifty two forty eight. It was eight points ahead. Long story
shorthands, I don't believe the polls. Tomorrow morning, I'm getting up, putting on my trousers and going door to door trying to convince people to vote against Issue number one. The fight's not over. I'm certainly not going to give up. I chose to believe that there's a good enough goodness in the heart of enough people that no matter what they start to say publicly, when they go into the voting booth, they will pull the lever to strike down
Issue one. And one more thing, I'll say Bill Issue one in case the listeners are not super familiar with it. It is way more radical than Roe Versus way. It will permit a fortune up to the time of the baby is delivered. It also brings in care for people getting transgender care. And there's there's no provision for a rental to involve the parents in this decision. There's no age limitation. It applies to every individual in the state of
Ohio. And this is stronger than a law. It's an Ohio constitutional issue. So it will literally handstring and hands uff still Ohio legislatures, they won't be able to do anything about it literally once it's passed. Well, Reverend I like to get it. Lastly, one other aspect, and it was brought up indirectly, and that is that the Democratic Party has basically destroyed large elements the black community by their policies. I don't know about Columbus City schools.
I know in Cincinnati and the state of Ohio, about seventy percent of black boys who graduate from high school cannot properly read and write, seventy percent and controlled by the Democratic Party, and all the eight major cities in Ohio, something in the range of seventy percent of black babies that make it through the womb actually are born into a family, a mother and father in the
home. That you have massive lawlessness, that public schools are terrible. In Cincinnati, about seventy four percent of Black boys in the public school system, and Cincinnati completely control by the Democrat Party are chronically absent from school, little
or no job creation, rampant lawlessness. When I look at the policies of liberal Democrats and the eight major cities here in Ohio, whether in Throwing, Covington, Louisville, Neapolis, every major city in this country, the collapse of family life, the collapse of faith, the rampant criminal activity, the terrible public schools that disrespect for law and order, to fund the police,
etc. Is all rampant. So how is it possible that without history for the past sixty seventy eighty years, that black community votes ninety percent, especially black women vote ninety percent for those who have enslaved them. How is that possible? Well, it's real simple, I think. Uh. There's a quote attributed to Lyndon Johnson, uh, apparently made while he was on Air
Force one, speaking in terms of the black community. He said, we'll give those in words, enough stuff to have them voting Democrats for the next one hundred years. Yes, and so it is. It is the trick, it is deployed. It is the It is the false date of where you're gonna get something Democrat or four black people because it's gonna give them something. Well, let me tell you something, mister kind of ham them tayble
the Democrats to give black people, they give them perpetual poverty. And by giving them perpetual poverty, they have a guaranteed uh voting block in the perpetuity because we're gonna give you welfare, We're gonna give you free food, We're gonna give you free tea, We're gonna we're gonna do all these things for you. We're going to become very paternal. We're going to take care of you. Unfortunately, our quote Malcolm X, he says, the fish that
mistakes the fisherman who throws them. A word for a friend ends up on the hook, and black people have been on that hook for the last fifty years. But supposing that the Democratic Party is their friends, Well, Reverend, it's said what I'm seeing going on. And when I heard that actual audio tape of LBJ dropping the enbomb on a regular basis, pay off the N word. Pay them off. They'll be on the hook for the next hundred years. And that was prophetic, and it's destroyed large elements of the
black community. Pastor Jeff Haygood of the Living Word Church in Columbus, thanks for being there. More than one hundred black faith leaders have stepped up. You're one of them. You're one of the great leaders in the state's capital. And I pray to God at some point we come to our senses, because you will answer for your vote in this world or the next. This is the only time in our history or a person walks into a polling place and actually he puts their name down with their mark and says, I want
to kill as many healthy unborn babies as possible. Put my name next to that, and you will answer for that vote in this world or the next. And Reverend Jeff hey Good you're a great American and thanks for coming on the Bill Cunningham Show. Thank you, Reverend. So thanks for having me, Bill, and good luck to Ohio and the election next Tuesday. God bless America. All right, Reverend, thank you very much. Let's continue with more news coming up and more plus later on early voting continues. I
