Taxpayer-Funded Ad Warns Expecting Mothers of Color of Racism in Healthcare

Publicly funded billboards were put up in San Diego warning expectant black mothers that they should be wary of health complications due to racism.

One advertisement reads:

Our Black babies are nearly 60% more likely to be premature due to discrimination.

Another one alleges:

Racism hurts your baby long before they’re born.

Critics say that the advertisements exaggerate the impact of racism in the healthcare system and that racial minorities could be discouraged from seeking medical assistance due to this messaging that encourages them not to trust their doctors.

A former Republican San Diego City Council member and the chairman of Reform California, a conservative political action committee, said the billboards should be taken down by the county's health department because they send a “dangerous and divisive message."

Great post.

Neglect in prenatal phase and many using illegal drugs daily and drinking liquor -—and they blame the other races for that?

They are abusing their children even before birth-—the ones that they do not kill by abortion, that is. And the child out of wedlock with the current or next “boyfriend” who may abuse the child that is not his concern. They say the most fearsome words to the child are “This is mama’s new boyfriend.”

It’s called Planned Parents in the Hood.

Funny.

Margaret Sanger tried to warn everyone by her racial theories and by promoting abortions and setting up their abortion mills close to the black neighborhoods (not the farthest elite suburbs). All those dead black babies resulted from the abortion murder.

The best way to disrupt such hateful propaganda is parody and sarcasm.

“Is your abortion provider a white supremacist or neo-Nazi?”

“Is Medi-Cal (California Medicaid) run by racists?”

......... Apparently it is of utmost importance to always stress that everybody, especially caucasians, is Racist whether they know it or not .... And if you don’t accuse people, especially caucasians, of being racist ..... They you are a racist ...

Since 70% of black babies (latest stat...use to be 75%) are born into single parent homes and how many of those (mostly) moms are on welfare and have no health insurance?

If you are on welfare you have health insurance.

It is called Medicaid.

It covers you and your child.

There is also WIC to make sure you and the child are fed properly and many stores will fill prescriptions for prenatal vitamins for free.
