August is Black Business Month<\/a>, a celebration of Black American contributions to our country and economy, as well as an observance to highlight the importance of entrepreneurship in Black communities. According to the United States Census, there are over two million businesses<\/a> owned or operated by Black Americans. These trailblazers, entrepreneurs, and managers work in endless varieties of industry, and the pro-life movement is no different. Black pro-life activists have been making their voices heard in the movement, changing the conversation around abortion<\/a>, and making a difference.<\/p>\n

Ryan Bomberger<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryan Bomberger is the co-founder of the Radiance Foundation<\/a>. Conceived in rape, Bomberger has not shied away from speaking openly about the courageous love his biological mother showed him by carrying him to term and giving him the gift of life. Adopted at six weeks old, Bomberger grew up in a multi-racial family with 13 brothers and sisters, 10 of whom were adopted.<\/p>\n

Bomberger met his future wife, Bethany, after she had already given birth to a daughter, Radiance, whose name inspired the Radiance Foundation. Bomberger adopted Radiance before he and Bethany had two biological children, and then adopted a fourth child. He is also an Emmy\u00ae Award winner, a broadcast media designer, producer, columnist, international public speaker, and author. It was his background in advertising that spurred him to launch the first major ad campaign exposing how abortion disproportionately affects the Black community.<\/p>\n

Too Many Aborted<\/a> is an awareness campaign aimed at calling attention to the prevalence of abortion in the Black community. Stating that nearly 40% of Black pregnancies end in abortion, Too Many Aborted hopes to protect Black lives, empower Black women to choose life, and offer hope and healing for Black women who have suffered through abortion.<\/p>\n
