and, happily...there was NO abortion....maybe thaty's what the Dems mean by "values"

[Christopher Lincoln]

Just the opposite: as far as Fred Dicker is concerned, the scandal is exactly that there was no abortion. If there had been, there would have been no story, nothing out of the ordinary.

Let me enlarge on this, since the point has come up on other threads. Incredible as it may seem now, there was a time when abortions were practically unknown in the African-American community. But then the influential people, black and white, declared that it was a disgrace that black women were having babies out of wedlock, instead of aborting them like white women. Granted, they didn't say the last part, but that's what they meant (Or do you believe they were advocating chastity? I didn't think so). Tragically, people listened.
