MOD WARNING ABORTION KILLS MORE BLACK AMERICANS THAN CRIME, ACCIDENTS, CANCER OR AIDS. This issue ranks right up there with the fact AIDS is making a resurgence among gay men... meaning we don't hear a word about either from the gov't or activists or the media. I have a theory about that... do you? http://www.lifenews.com/2015/06/25/...mericans-than-crime-accidents-cancer-or-aids/ This article is about Michigan, but in NYC, more Black babies are aborted than born each year. Why does nobody care?
"Lifenews" ...gee, that's not a biased site Now, why should anybody care that black women have as much right to choose an abortion as any other color woman??? I'm glad they do. Why does "" gov't or activists or the media."" have to report on legal activity? Why would legal activity be shocking or front page news???? Outrage over a legal activity? Can't you think of an illegal activity to be "outraged " about ?
I don't see what there is to be outraged about, unless black women are being dragged off the streets kicking and screaming then forcibly aborted.
Should we start a countdown to the posting of the Anti-Choicers Reglulation Comment # 42, The Sanger Out-of-Context Quote "Proving " Sanger is a Racist and Planned Parenthood Wants to Kill all The Black People" Ya, know it's coming.....
Yes, why don't you care? There are clearly some fundamental problems in America which lead to these figures. Lots of people finding themselves in such difficult situations in which they see abortion as the least worst option. Using them as a weapon to attack abortion does absolutely nothing to understand and address those problems, including whatever reasons a disproportionate number are apparently black. Abortion isn't the problem, it's a symptom of problems, many and complex. People putting their socio-political positions above and beyond reality is just one of them.
no it doesn't, potential people are not people how many potential people are not born due to the war on drugs, all those people in prison may of had children..... where is the outrage at all those people denied life .
Not without amending the Constitution, or at least the Fourteenth Amendment. Zygotes or zefs are NOT "Americans", one must be born to claim citizenship. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteenth_Amendment_to_the_United_States_Constitution Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. ....
Don't be coy. The OP of a thread is a good place for you to tell us your theory and we can discuss it and maybe compare ideas..
People who are pro choice don't view abortion as killing a baby, but you already knew that. You just wanted to start a race baiting thread so you could disparage black people.
If you care about the poor black aborted babies then maybe your side would support more jobs programs, more welfare, paid maternity leave, more job creation programs, equal pay for equal work and not care about inheritance and upper income rates and whether or not two gay people have apiece of paper that says they are married.
Your headline is factually incorrect, not a single black American is killed in an abortion, unless of course you don't know that one has to be born to be a citizen or person, and even IF that should ever change elective abortion will still be a legal reality.
Abortion is a great way to control the population of "undesirables". Too poor? Abort. Too sick? Abort. Too uneducated? Abort. Child disabled? Abort. Rather than deal with the real festering wound of social inequity, the government has just slapped a big abortion bandaid over it. Cheaper and easier. I mean who actually wants to do any real work anyway?
Stereotypes and labels don't help anyone. There are plenty of left wing, liberal, democratic, feminist, gay, atheist pro lifers out there. Unfortunately their voices are drowned out by the pro choice bigotted bullies who refuse to let them speak. Many democratic parties won't even let you be a member unless you are pro choice. That's some twisted democracy. So what are the pro life movement left with to promote their cause? Right wing conservative homophobes who also dont want to address the real issues behind why women choose abortion. Basically both of the extremes are doing nothing to address the root of the problem, its the non extremists who want real change.
Because Abortions and access to Birth control has done more to bring disenfranchised people to higher standards of living?
Abortion and birth control do not raise the standard of living. They only prevent the standard of living from falling any lower due to terminating the increased financial pressure of a child. The only way abortion could increase standards of living is by opening up more jobs at abortion clinics and/or redirecting profits made from the clinic back into poor communities.
Not just the financial burden but the time burden as well, as well as increased opportunities for having employment. Instead of spending that time and energy raising a child it can be used for getting a better education or developing existing skills. This in turn makes the person more likely to be employed in the future.
Yes pregnancy and childbirth can take away work and education opportunities (an unfortunate product of patriarchal society) but having an abortion will not GIVE you anything but an empty uterus. An abortion won't employ you, write you a resume or finish your assignments. An abortion won't fix poverty or unemployment. Abortion is just a bandaid to much bigger social issues.
It just simply gives a pregnant woman the time needed to do those things. There's no question that there are bigger social issues at stake, but the fact remains that this works. It has been shown to improve society over all.
