Well, it is okay... 
if you have white slaves.

Tuesday morning I decided to do a shift of clinic escorting. ...So the morning was fairly quiet until an anti-choice protester arrived and began sounding off. While at first his comments remained general and aimed at everyone within ear shot, he soon started to narrow his focus to just me.
At first I just assumed it was just the fact that I was standing closer, but then his comments became increasingly directed; directed at the only black female. For him the best way to help sway over black patients as they entered the clinic was to paint me as a traitor to "my own people … who wants to kill my entire race." I, of course, was highly offended by this alone, but the icing on the cake was when he asked me one simple question, "If you're pro-choice, then can I choose to have slaves?"
I was completely outraged by such a racially charged statement. ...
I don't know why Wilson was "offended" and "enraged." Obviously, this was the first she had encountered analogies between abortion/slavery and abortion/black genocide, meaning she hadn't done any research whatsoever on abortion before becoming an activist. Not very smart for someone so invested in an issue. Actually, pro-abort blogs are all over the slavery analogy right now, in response to Melinda Henneberger's June 22 New York Times op ed, "Why pro-choice is a bad choice for Democrats," wherein she challenged Democrats on their misguided "point of orthodoxy no more open to debate within the party than the ordination of women is in Rome." Lynn Paltrow, director of the deceptively named pro-abort group National Advocates for Pregnant Women, responded in a letter to the editor: "Outrageous"? How so? Slavery apologists considered blacks nonpersons, property and expendable at the whim of their owners. Hello? Pro-abort blogger Bean at Lawyers, Guns and Money chimed in: But what really piqued my interest here is that Paltrow takes ... much of the mainstream pro-choice movement to task. And she's got a point. By focusing on the abortion procedure itself, we (reproductive justice activists and advocates) buy into the antis' trap – we put a procedure about which many people feel uncomfortable in the spotlight. How might it change the conversation if we stopped talking about abortion itself and started talking more about the women – many of them already mothers, as Paltrow points out – who have abortions? Many people are going to say this won't work – talking about women's autonomy wasn't successful before Roe and hasn't been successful since. But this strategy is not about intangible concepts like freedom and autonomy. It's about actual women and their real lives. … I think it's … compelling. … Pro-aborts have fallen into "the antis' trap" by "focusing on the abortion procedure itself"? Bean, that's called "informed consent," and your people fight that every step of the way. In actuality, pro-aborts run like a hemorrhage from discussions of the "abortion procedure itself." And comparing pregnant mothers to slaves? As Bean confessed, maintaining that abortion brings "freedom and autonomy" is not just repulsive, it's disingenuous. As a saying goes, "Everyone who supported slavery was free. Everyone who supports abortion was born. That's how oppression works." And I've heard them lately say more than the opposite, calling preborn babies freeloaders or parasites – less than slaves, who don't even reciprocate for food and shelter. The implication is the mother is an unwilling landlord, or duped mortgage company, or infestation victim, take your pick, but certainly not a slave. No, in actuality, pro-aborts stay away from the word. Because the comparison of abortion to slavery only works one way. And they'd rather not go there. Hence, they become "offended" and "enraged" and consider it "outrageous" when we do, protesting way too much. Melinda Henneberger notes that opponents of abortion have made progress by making abortion a "human rights issue comparable to slavery." The real problem, though, is that pro-choice advocates have defended abortion rather than the women subjected to such outrageous analogies.
The slavery point is worth noting, if only because BOTH sides of the abortion debate have compared it to slavery – on the abortion rights side, it's the forced pregnancy that compels a woman into servitude; on the anti-freedom side, it's the fetus whose personhood is not acknowledged (hence the "Dred Scott" secret phrase).
No, 50 MILLION dead babies in 33 years is oppression.

Georgetown needs to be a hell of a lot more selective about who they admit. Well - at least they don’t allow official student groups whose teaching are contrary to the Church.
I've got a new name for pro-choicers, courtesy of the gays: babyphobic.
Dream on: GU Pride, Georgetown's Gay-Lesbian-Bisexual-Transgendered student club.
The first year that a non-priest GU president, John diGioia, was in office (2002), a religious official from Africa who was commencement speaker denounced the decadent American culture that glorifies abortion, homosexuality and promiscuity. Several of the female faculty members got up in front of the commencement assembly and huffed off the platform, after which diGioia stammered apologies -- to the offended femnazis.
When my offspring was enrolling, an "advisor" told parents that drinking in the dorms is strictly prohibited, because it is against the law! But when a parent asked about sexual activities in the co-ed dorms, the "advisor" said, "Now, Mom and Dad, times have changed!" It was incredibly condescending, not to mention immoral.
I was revolted, offended and disgusted. We thought we could somehow find a Christian atmosphere for our kid that is also a top-ranked university. Lotsa luck with that, sucker parents (i.e. wallets). Our kid was then told at orientation that roommates should politely ask the other to leave the room so one could have sex with a third party (a practice called "sexiling").
Bottom line, underage drinking is bad for the University and might cost it money for lawsuits or bad publicity, but when it comes to unintended pregnancies or abortions, all the risk and expense are borne by the families.
Disgraceful! Cowering before those feminazi pigs...they need to bring the priests back to the presidency, and it’s probably not that unusual either, most of the “Catholic” colleges in this country could use a couple of pastoral visits from the Pope. IMO send your kid and your money elsewhere!
Well, it is okay... if you have white slaves.
In America today, almost as many African-American children are aborted as are born.
A black baby is three times more likely to be murdered in the womb than a white baby.
Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent.
Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.
Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.
Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.
About 13 percent of American women are black, but they submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.

Here's a thought: if you don't want such "servitude" don't spread your...well, never mind, I don't want to say something that could get me either Zotted or banned.
Maybe they should send them to BYU.
I wonder, who forced these women to get pregnant?
Were they raped?
Or did they just spread their legs for some male?
I suspect that the vast majority come from the 2nd category.
BTW, this wasn't directed to you, but the article the quote came from.
.
I get so confused. Is it racist to have an abortion or racist to not have an abortion?
