Many minorities don’t get support to keep their babies, former clinic worker says
LIVE ACTION NEWS ^ | Dec 18, 2014 | Sarah Terzo

From a former abortion clinic worker, Rayna Rapp, who is still pro-choice:

Many minority women, even if they are not poor, cannot count on support for their pregnancies, and pregnancy related decision-making, from their healthcare providers. Frankie Smithers, an African-American schoolteacher, told me that when she got her positive pregnancy test results back at City Hospital, she was delighted, but the nurse automatically directed her to make an appointment for an abortion. It took considerable complaint to persuade the woman to schedule a prenatal care visit instead.

— Rayna Rapp Testing Women, Testing the Fetus: the Social Impact of Amniocentesis in America (New York: Routledge, 1999) 164.

Many “minorities” appear to churn out babies in order to use them as meal tickets.

They admit the truth when they leave the clinics.

Maybe, maybe not. But every one of those babies deserves to be born and every one of them deserves to not be murdered.

Don’t you agree?

Sure, but then neuter the mother so this “anchor baby” mentality does not occur again.

The abortion industry is all a part of the effort to engineer the perfection of humans through selective breeding. The eugenics movement began soon after Darwin published his theory of evolution by natural selection. It influenced the Nazi’s racial genocide which asserted the superiority of the “Aryan race.” Eugenics in the abortion industry have described their mission as like weeding a garden. Those women thought to be on the lower economic rung are considered inferior and are to discouraged from reproduction. Abortion is the ultimate method where their offspring are literally pulled like weeds from their wombs or given weed kill in the form of the drug, Mifepristone.

“Neutering” is done to men ... you know, the “fathers” of the babies. It means removing the testicles.

No, I’m not. My son shut off the gas to the water heater, and now we can’t get it lit again.

LOL! I know how that goes. Press and hold the button for awhile, and use a long butane lighter to reach in.

My husband got someone from the plumbing company on the phone, and they talked him through it.

If it’s not one darn thing, it’s two darn things ...

So, you want to play God and take away her right to reproduce?

You want the EXACT same thing as the Nazis and the founder of Planned Parenthood wanted.

You’re in good company. Be proud.

I am. With rights come responsibilities. Abuse those responsibilities, your rights are then impacted, if not outright removed—especially if it impacts others. With that reckless remark you clearly are pro-amnesty.
