ABORTION BILLBOARDS - RACIST?
CROSSWALK/The Flint Journal ^ | 6.14.2004 | Kevin McCullough/Marlon Vaughn

Posted on 06/14/2004 1:59:00 PM PDT by KMC1

Flint Michigan.06.14.2004 Across the street from the two most "productive" abortion clinics in the city are signs that depict an African American child and a caption that reads "Abortion the #1 killer of African Americans". The Center for Disease Control says that in 2000 heart disease took almost 78,000 African American lives, and African American abortions that year numbered nearly 300,000. A group that intends to make political hay out of this points to the black child and the slogan on the billboard and says it is the "root of racism".

if I get my history correct, Margaret Sanger WANTED abortion clinics near black neighborhoods to help keep the black birth rate down. she wanted black people to die out.

She would be proud to read this article.

Liberals don't want the truth. Especially when it illustrates the collision of Liberal sacraments.

Why do I think it is white men putting out this billboard?

The assertion on the billboard is absolutely true. Get the picture? Doesn't matter if blue skins from Saturn put up the billboard.

If white men are putting out this billboard, they make just as valid a point as if black women were putting it out. The facts and numbers don't change based on who is paying for the billboard. Anyone who considers himself or herself a leader in a black community should be more concerned with the problems illustrated by the numbers and not some perception over the billboard, that is if they care about people over their own political fame.

OUCH! Maybe this will hit home, but I doubt it.

Margaret Sanger wanted to keep blacks, Jews and Catholics from (gasp!) reproducing.

How soon we forget.

Regardless of who put up this billboard, is the information on the billboard truthful?

Whenever I'd get into a discussion with my liberal coworkers on abortion, they'd often point out my status as a male, in order to minimize me as being germane to the subject at hand.

I'd ask them if they were saddened to see white people protesting at the South African embassy, or straight people at gay pride parades. Further, if they wanted to see this as a gender issue, I'd point out that half of the children being aborted were males. Except of course in the cases where sex selection was being done, and some macho "daddy" wanted the firstborn to be a son, then it was mostly girls who were being aborted.

It made my point pretty quickly.

I am a woman, yet I am told that I cannot speak on the abortion issue because I've never been pregnant. People who have no legitimate point must resort to such tactics--writing anyone but themselves out of the discussion--to avoid admitting the facts or being intellectually honest. You make a good comeback, though. Good job!

Your history should also tell you that Adolf Hitler pushed abortion into every occupied territory for the same reasons.

I'm not sure what the point of your question is. However, the facts are clear.

Thirty-five percent of abortions in the United States are performed on African American women, while they represent only 12% of the female population of the country.

"According to the 2000 Census, Hispanics have replaced African Americans as the largest minority group in the US. The loss of 13 million African American children through abortion has played a significant part in this population decline."

You evidently don't have the courage to engage in an honest debate.

Are you insinuating that white people care more for black babies than black folk do?

Why do I think the only white men you don't disparage are all liberal and pro-abortion?

And only if Democrats understood that the more abortions there are today that the less Democratic Voters there will be in 18 years we could finally end the abortion epidemic in America.
