Walter B. Hoye II<\/a>, founder of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/index.html\">Issues4Life Foundation<\/a>, has been <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/black-pro-life-abortion-womb-nothing-matters\/\">speaking out<\/a> about the <a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/black-pastor-pro-life-1-strategy-abortion\/\">dangers<\/a> posed by abortion against the Black community for many years. Live Action News recently spoke with him about the current state of the pro-life movement and what it can do to improve its effectiveness.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Since the Supreme Court overturned <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roe v. Wade<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in late June of 2022, the pro-life movement has faced many challenges and setbacks.

They&#8217;re working hard to do good stuff,\u201d Hoye stated. But, he emphasized, the movement&#8217;s current strategies are \u201cnot designed to win the war.\u201d<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoye noted that each battlefield in the war against abortion is different and requires its own unique strategy. But as pro-lifers, Hoye said, \u201cI don&#8217;t think we&#8217;re specific enough. We&#8217;re sort of doing the same thing everywhere,\u201d even though the people and communities involved have widely varying characteristics.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Drawing an analogy to World War II, Hoye pointed out that \u201cthere were underground resistors in France; there was underground resistance in Germany itself.\u201d Pro-life leaders within the Black community, Hoye said, are the \u201cunderground resistance\u201d of the American pro-life movement \u2013 but these leaders could be more effectively utilized. Hoye observed:<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Underground resistance can tell us things, like, where are the targets located? What&#8217;s the strength [of the enemy]? And what&#8217;s their weak spot? They have a ton of information. And we don&#8217;t really take advantage of that.\u00a0<\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Abortion is here because Black Americans are here.

Everybody was on the same page.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">By contrast, Hoye observed: \u201cI can&#8217;t say that&#8217;s true about the pro-life movement today.\u201d<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><b>INCREMENTALISM IS A LOSING STRATEGY<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">To illustrate the lack of a united vision for victory within the contemporary pro-life movement, Hoye referenced the current trend among many self-described \u201cpro-life\u201d organizations and politicians toward embracing \u201cincrementalism\u201d \u2013 including and especially efforts to pass laws which impose various gestational limits on abortion without prohibiting it entirely.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoye told Live Action News that he feels this is not a winning strategy. \u201cThere&#8217;s no example that I&#8217;ve ever seen in history where an incremental strategy won the day, and there&#8217;s no biblical model of it,\u201d he stated. Adopting incrementalist tactics, Hoye believes, is equivalent to \u201cattempting to win a war outside of any winning strategy or model that has ever been seen or known.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>TO WIN, WE MUST SUPPORT THE \u201cUNDERGROUND RESISTANCE\u201d<\/b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cCan you imagine the abortion industry if Black America no longer supported it?\u201d Hoye asked, noting that without Black customers, Big Abortion would crumble. To that end, pro-lifers must focus on increasing pro-life sentiment within the Black community.\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, Hoye\u2019s organization, the Issues4Life Foundation, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/black-pro-life-abortion-womb-nothing-matters\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">specializes<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> in targeted, individual outreach to Black leaders, particularly faith leaders \u2014 because they are the people who can most effectively communicate a life-affirming message to the larger community, which, in turn, can inspire and motivate individuals to get involved in the fight to protect human life.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hoye also praised the work of other Black pro-life leaders, including <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/star-parker-questions-obamas-moral-leadership-light-abortion-support\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Star Parker<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/planned-parenthood-board-defund-racist\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr. La Verne Tolbert<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who once was a board member for Planned Parenthood but has since devoted her work to protecting life; and the late <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/archive.liveaction.org\/news\/beloved-pro-life-leader-reverend-dean-nelson-legacy\/\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Reverend Dean Nelson<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, who accomplished great things through the Frederick Douglass Foundation and the Douglass Leadership Institute. Leaders like these, Hoye said, need our support.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In fact, according to Hoye, the most effective thing everyday pro-lifers can do toward winning the war is to help equip and support these and other members of the Black pro-life \u201cunderground resistance,\u201d supplying the necessary resources to empower them to carry out this critical work.<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What might this support look like on an individual level? \u201cYou\u2019ve got to talk to God,\u201d Hoye answered. \u201cAsk Him to tell you what you need to do, no matter what it is.\u201d\u00a0<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.issues4life.org\/ourfounder.html\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An individual may only be able to help in what seems like a small way, but \u201cif you\u2019re doing His will,\u201d Hoye said, \u201cHe&#8217;ll take that little mustard seed, that grain of faith, and win it all.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/actnow.io\/ARQQhk1\"><b><i>The DOJ put a pro-life grandmother in jail for protesting the killing of preborn children.
