For Lillie Epps, one of the few African-American leaders in the anti-abortion movement, it was a telling moment.

Epps was among top anti-abortion advocates who had gathered in the Oval Office of the White House last year to watch President George W. Bush sign into law a bill banning so-called "partial-birth" abortions.

"When he signed the bill, there were some other African-Americans in the room," recalled Epps, 52. But when it came time for publicity photographs, some were ushered out, including all of the black leaders.Advertisement


"That sends a message that it's really not an African-American issue," said Epps, of Care Net, an affiliation of some 900 pregnancy centers nationally. "It's something that white folks are doing, and we're not invited."

pretty obvious, imo

....like, DUH!
