Anti-abortion group targets black women with billboards

I am against Abortion, but this is not going to help. I know that these groups are trying to get the point across, but I am really unsure on this one.

Fear and guilt compound problems, they don’t lead to solutions. The Radiance Foundation has the *right* to spend their money as they *choose*, but if they really cared about pregnant black women who are considering this option, they could spend it more effectively, IMO.

I applaud any organization that fights for the unborn and innocent. Just like Operation Rescue, the Radiance Foundation is well within its rights to do this campaign. If we brought back a culture of life to this once-free nation, we will see return to the values that made it great. If we overturn Roe v. Wade, strengthen our military by going back to the pre-Clintonian Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell days, returned to market-based principles and threw out unnecessary environmental regulation, we could become number one again.

Unfortunately, we are weak by appeasing terrorists and dictators, punishing big and small businesses, and taxing and regulating like drunken sailors. It’s no wonder we have the problems that we have today.

Let’s take this once-free nation back from the far leftists who have destroyed it. All we need to do is get legal citizens to the polls in November to unravel the damage that Hussein Nobama and his band of Secular Progressive thieves have done to this once-great country.

God Bless,

2. 14 out of 14 abortion clinics located in majority minority neighborhoods
3. Abortions increase by a factor of 10 when opened in a low income neighborhood
4. Georgia kills MORE Black children by abortion than ANY ohter state in the nation according to the CDC.
5. Georgia had a Eugenics council until the 1970’s.

Planned Parenthood has targeted minorities since the very beginning of its existence. All these billboards and http://www.toomanyaborted.com are doing is drawing attention to what pro-abortion PP wants to cover-up. Black women and children are at risk of genocide. When will black pastors rise up and express the outrage that they express at racism? When will there be marching in the street like during the early days of the civil rights movement? When will black men be part of the solution and not part of the problem? When will black children be safe in their mothers’ wombs? The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. knew (in a Birmingham jail) that he was no longer going “to wait.” When are we going to say, “Enough is enough! We are not waiting anymore.”?

“Black women and children are at risk of genocide.”

What? The birth rate per 1000 black americans is not significantly different than for white americans. I am not saying you’re wrong, just that your statement is hyperbole or you need to clarify your position.

And can someone point out to me a case of someone being solicited to have an abortion?

I do know of a rather highly connected man who forced his daughter to have an abortion at 16 to save his own career, but I don’t think thats what this bill is about.

http://www.toomanyaborted.com is an amazing site. I like the line right there on the front: American elites (Rockefeller, Ford, Kellogg, Carnegie) championed and funded the beliefs of eugenics, a philosophy of breeding a superior race. While respect these fellas for what they did for American business, they lost their way on this subject and shared similar views to Hitler.

So here we are today. Our businessmen don’t think like that but, they are plenty out there that do. The eugenics idea is popular with far left educators in our public schools and on college campuses. It’s also big in Hollyweird and on both coasts in this once-free nation.

@Drew Did you check out the website? At no point do they mention blaming black women for the problem. It is the black women who have been targeted by the abortion industry. According to toomanyaborted.com, 94% of the abortion clinics are in black neighborhoods.

You also noted that if “they” cared about children “they” would focus their efforts on ensuring that every child was guaranteed a family and a society in which they would thirve.

I would make the case that many people are trying to do that. Visit downtown Atlanta at the Care-Net Pregnancy Resource center where this agency is partnering with women to help meet their needs during the pregnancy and afterwards even to the point of helping them get the mothers get their educations.

Every person has some struggle in their life. Some of us more than others. Yet do we deny people the right to exist just because they might struggle?

Let’s say a woman has a child and has a job and does fine for a while. She loses her job two years after the child is born. Can she kill that child because the situation at home might get harder? No, because that two year old is considered a person. The issue in this discussion will once again come down to not so much the struggle but whether or not these black children, or any unborn child is a person.

Yet we live in a nation that sees children as a tax burden rather than persons. I think the lovely Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said it best in a NyTimes article in 2009 when she stated that Roe was decided “to rid the population we don’t want to many of”. Roe was started not to give women a choice or “a right to choose” but to get rid of certain populations.

We can realize it now or we can wake up 20 years from now and the situation be even worse.

I believe in compassion for the individual. I’ve financially and materially supported birth mothers and orphans for most of my adult life. This campaign isn’t about ‘targeting black women’, but exposing the abortion industry. It’s about informing the general public, and the African-American community in particular, about abortion’s extremely disproportionate impact on Black Americans. I believe the loss of life (and potential) due to abortion is a tragedy no matter the race. TooManyAborted.com is simply our response to the rhetoric that there are ‘too many abortions’ and that we need to ‘reduce abortions’. Why reduce something that isn’t inherently wrong? The Radiance Foundation (which is an educational nonprofit that believes that we are all born with Possibility) is a multi-faceted organization that addresses a wide spectrum of social issues. This newly launched campaign, http://www.toomanyaborted.com, focuses on an all too-often silenced human crisis. Why do those who espouse a pro-choice mentality always feel threatened by accurate and well-documented information? Women cannot make fully informed decisions if they’re constantly duped by an industry that profits in the hundreds of millions by a ‘choice’ for abortion.

Expressions of mass distraction. That’s how I could sum up a lot of the pro-abortion comments here.

I just believe there are better options than exercising one’s supposed (and Supremely ill-decided) right by taking the life of another. I’m adopted (as are 10 in my family), so I can speak to the thousands of people and CPCs and churches that have dedicated their lives to providing for the birth mother and the child she’s decided to bring into this world. The oft-used argument is simply a deflection of the truth.

@LoveWisdom, you should target your propaganda at someone who doesn’t know it’s a lie.

Your reference to Ginsburg is telling: the quote, and the context, show that Ginsburg was concerned that Roe would be used to require government funding of abortion, which would then be used as a way of “coercing women into having abortions when they didn’t really want them” – also her quote – which she clearly felt would be wrong.

Yet instead of honestly characterizing her statement as a concern that the government might force women to abort when they did not want to, you and your ilk misrepresent describe the first Jewish mother to sit on the Supreme Court to be a proponent of both infanticide and genocide. Stay classy, “pro-life” activist.

It’s disgusting, and it’s typical of what can be expected from a “pro-life” activist: deceit. The website offers more of the same – lies, lies, and more lies.

But what can you expect of a movement that produces murderers like Scott Roeder and “Crisis Pregnancy Centers” that exist to deceive women and endanger their health.

@Drew It always amazes me when two people are having a civilized discussion, and then someone feels threatened and results to name calling. As a woman, pro-life or not, I always try to have a conversation that does not demean anyone. I was under the assumption that this was a blog, an open forum to discuss all ideas. I simply stated what has been happening for the past 37 years.

As a woman, I am tired of the exploitation I see everyday towards women. Just this past week a woman in Queens, NY died at the age of 37 because she was having “a safe and legal procedure”.

I am tired of the lies I see the abortion community telling women that abortion and birth control don’t have risks when they do. So if we truly believe in giving women their options lets lay out everything on the table. Let’s tell people that yes the American Cancer Society knows there is a link between birth control and breast cancer they just haven’t publicized it. Just a few months ago a leading researcher of the National Cancer Institute (which is not a “pro-life” organization)also stated that there is a link between abortion and breast cancer.

Since we don’t want to talk about the fact that abortion kills a human being, let’s talk about the impact that over 37 years of legalized abortion have had on women.

My reference to Ginsburg was factual. You have the liberty to interpret it differently and I am ok with that.

But please in all of your mischaracterizations of the pro-life community; do not consider Scott Roeder to be the same equivalent to the life saving work that the pregnancy resource centers do.
What Scott Roeder did was wrong, but it just shows you what happens when a society devalues the most innocent of all human life, then all life is devalued.

Oh Charles, too bad you weren’t aborted! You have ZERO place in the discussion if you are a male. You can feel however you want, but until you have to carry, birth and then take care of or give away a child -just shut up already!

Obviously many are not getting abortions! I really wish instead of spending so much money on billboards, organizations like toomanyaborted would put their money where their mouths are and start free or drastically reduced price daycare centers in poor neighborhoods, drug counseling centers, tutoring services, etc. AND any person in that organization needs to start paperwork to adopt at least two black children.

As a black woman who is pro-choice, I really wish this organization would stop using black women and the reality of racism for their own ends. No one wants abortions. So let’s focus on preventing unwanted pregnancies. Let’s make birth control FREE or very low-cost and easily accessible. Let’s provide comprehensive sex ed from middle school and up. Let’s look at statutory rape, which is rampant. Those are just the beginning. And if you want to talk about extinction of black people, let’s talk about the “criminal justice” system.

Let’s evaluate the intellectual consistency of some of the responses in this discussion from the pro abortion people.

1. I say let the women who are pro life carry the women who do not want to have children carry and take care of all of these children.

What kind of sense does that make? If you are against domestic violence, for example, does that mean that you have to go out and marry all the abused spouses in the world? Clearly not. So the above-numbered statement is foolish.

2. You have ZERO place in the discussion if you are a male. You can feel however you want, but until you have to carry, birth and then take care of or give away a child -just shut up already!

Why? Tell me what kind of sense this makes. In my understanding of human physiology, a male is involved in the reproductive process – and therefore, the baby is his child too. Furthermore, I’m sure that in this country everyone has the right to an opinion and to a voice in government, regardless of their gender. There was a time in this country when people of a certain gender were not allowed to have any voice in political decision making, but those days are long passed away.

3. I don’t know if I have ever seen this much misinformation and/or disinformation in one place before. But please allow me to clear up one thing: Planned Parenthood is a non-profit organization!

Factually incorrect. I’m sure there is a planned parenthood nonprofit foundation – but planned parenthood does make money off of abortions. Abortionists do not commit abortions for free, they are not volunteers.

“sofia-ao” I agree with you that there is much to do to rout out and counter racism in our state and country.

You and others who stress getting birth control and sex ed to teens seem a little naive to me. How many little “surprises” do you know, whose mothers were adult women with stable lives, pretty regular schedules (so they can take the pill same time each day), plenty of intelligence and information, lots of experience using birth control? I know plenty of unplanned children. I understand that about 50% of pregnancies are unplanned–not necesssarily unwanted, but unplanned. To me it is a huge myth that we can fully control our fertility with anything other than abstinence. The younger you are, the more fertile you are likely to be and the more likely you are to conceive an “oops” baby.

If you are infertile any contraception is 100% effective. What does that do to the overall effectiveness stats? 97% might not look so good if you eliminated all the infertile–estimated at 20% of married couples trying to become pregnant.

So I don’t jump to the conclusion that birth control is the preventive for abortion. It might be the false hope of control that leads to sexual activity that is supposed to be “without consequences.”

Freedom of speech issues aside, this African American woman wishes someone had informed her that this organization had the right to interfere in what is not only a legal, but a personal decision. As a retired teacher I can say that I’ve known many young African American and Caucasian females who have had abortions. These billboards will have little/no effect on AA females’ decisions regarding abortions. If this group thinks it’ll draw AA females to its’ cause, good luck with that. No group likes being targeted and used as a pawn in an ideological pursuit. If the members of this group have given little attention to the other issues AA females face, and it hasn’t, this effort will gain little traction among them. I say this because I doubt if many of the members of this organization know or really care about AA females. IMHO, this is a rally around the moment issue. Furthermore, if this group had seriously wanted to repeal Roe vs. Wade, they had most of the last decade during which the majority of the members of Congress were pro-life and were in power in which to do it, but they didn’t. Something about this campaign stinks to high heaven, but, of course, the organization will not reveal the real reason behind it.

We have too many children and teenagers without homes and families wasting away in a defunct foster care and juvenile system as is. If they’re as “pro-life” as they claim they are, why not invest in better sex education, at an earlier age? How about putting their ad money to better use and offer parenting courses, job training, more affordable childcare and what ever else I’m missing that will make the option of keeping an unwanted unborn child a bit more attractive(for lack of a better word). I’m an African-American woman with no kids because I was taught at an early age the risk of unsafe sex.

What’s impacting our fertility rate is the number of men and women locked away in prisons.

I’m not promoting abortions, but I’m totally against outsiders telling women what they should or shouldn’t do with their bodies. When it comes down too it, there won’t be a nary soul there to help these women after they give birth. There won’t be a way out of poverty for the bulk of these women to raise their children in better environment , with a whole family, thus ensuring their children make better and wiser choices when sex is involved. Throwing numbers around doesn’t make anyone sound more informed. Where’s the concern and ads for the children who are here?

Charles: Planned Parenthood is not a profit center; they are a non-for-profit organization that spends it money on education and providing services for women and their families.

About 15% of PP money goes for abortions; the rest is spent on education, basic medical care [mostly for the uninsured], mammograms, basic medical testing, prentatl care and yes, some deliveries.

Their education component is about basic healthcare, STD info/avoidance and treatment and comprehensive sex education [when allowed to do so].

PP is often the only affordable, competent and free medical help many Americans can get.

Why don’t you give the father a choice? Why don’t you give the unborn baby a choice? A woman made her choice when she decided to have sex. There’s a risk associated with having sex, and even protected sex is not 100% guarenteed.

We are not a Pro-Choice society anyway. The government will not let a woman just go off and prostitute herself. That’s the epitome of pro-choice for a woman. If she can’t have sex for money, then why should she be allowed to kill her unborn baby at whim?

As for poor children, their parents should be held accountable for them and not the rest of society by forcing a responsible parent to care for someone else’s irresponsibility. You’re mixing apples and oranges.

Again if you cannot understand that the right to life is foremost, then all of your arguments are worthless.

Charles -how many children have you adopted, and how many of those children are black? I really hope you have adopted many children and are giving them a great life since you care so deeply for them as fetuses. I hope you still care after they’re born. AND while you may contribute the sperm and be a valuable and integral part of a child’s life as a father, you STILL do not have to carry the baby or give birth to it. You aren’t left with a child to raise by yourself if the father jumps ship. You aren’t the married woman who is already raising 3 or 4 kids and exhausted and going nuts at home who finds out she’s pregnant again and knows they can’t afford it and she mentally can’t take it. So, Charles, you still need to SHUT UP!

Catherine -many of us know quite a bit about abortion and we’re still pro-choice. I find it interesting that pro-choice people really don’t care if someone is completely against abortion, as long as those people leave everyone alone about it!

The issue of rape is not the issue that abortionists are tauting. That’s something else (although difficult) that must be addressed upon an individual basis. The issue is whether or not an unborn baby can be killed at whim. Rape, incest, etc. – the woman probably had no choice in practically all of those instances. I applaud any woman who makes the choice to keep a baby conceived through rape or incest. I applaud any woman who makes the choice to keep a baby knowing that it will be born with defects. Again, that’s not the abortion debate. It’s the debate of whether or not a woman can choose to kill her unborn baby at whim. A baby’s brain waves can be detected 6 weeks after conception … yet we still allow babies to be killed in the womb knowing this fact.

I have a problem with the way the statics are skewed to make it look like Black Women are “targeted” for abortions. While they may have more abortions than other races, they also have higher teenage pregnancy and out of wedlock childbirth rates than other races. It only goes to reason that they would also have higher abortion rates.

What did I state so emphatically, Zinc? Can you not understand? When I said that I stood for life, that meant exactly that? Is the baby in the womb living? Yes! It doesn’t matter how that baby got there – whether by rape or by incest. It is alive! The baby couldn’t help that his/her father raped his/her mother. The baby had no choice in that. The rapist should be brought to justice. Same goes for the incest situation.

Can you not see?

Now why don’t you answer your own question. If your mother wanted to abort you while you were in her womb, would you support her decision?

Have you stopped to think why the abortion rate for black females is so disproportionate to the population?

Staying in school, working hard, learning something useful, taking care of your family, spending time with your kids, going to church, having some sense about who your friends are, keeping sex within marriage… these are the things that make bringing your baby to term and raising your children in a decent home posible. It’s not wise to tell people who don’t do these things that it’s okay not to and just go have an abortion. They do need more help but having abortions is definitely not the answer. The babies are alive in there and killing them is not right.

I actually work at an abortion clinic and there is no soliciting going on. It is the woman who chooses to call our clinic and make an appointment. We have black women, white women, Hispanic women, etc. who choose to make that call. In no way do we go to them. If more black women get abortions than white women, then you have to ask yourselves why. Frankly, it is a lack of birth control. They choose not to use it. It is a woman’s choice to terminate her pregnancy. No one is trying to exterminate anybody.

If you want to stop abortions from happening, try actually doing something positive to improve education, poverty, access to healthcare, etc. You can’t expect to preach abstinence, withhold birth control, tolerate sub-par standards for sex education and then be morally outraged when unprepared mothers want to end an unplanned pregnancy.

Actually, I have never given any list of items which would stop abortion. The law (when it said that abortions were illegal prior to the early 70s) just served to restrain evil. The law doesn’t change a person. All of those items that you list can’t actually change a person. Just like having a law against rape doesn’t actually stop rape from occurring. It can restrain the evil of rape, but it can’t actually change a person and cause them not to want to rape (murder, steal, ad infinitem). While your list may be full of good things and be out of a sincere concern for others, that list doesn’t actually change a person.

Nothing can ever change human nature. That’s a moot point because woman who have abortions don’t become pregnant because they want to.

I applaud this bold move.

Contrary to popular belief, blacks are traditionally PRO-LIFE and I address the issue blacks and life on my Web site at: http:www.blackthen.com.

And to the often-asked question of how many of us pro-lifers are also pro-death penalty? I am on both counts. The difference in the two that people like the person who posed the question REFUSES to understand, is that one involves the innocent and the other involves the guilty. And before you up and bring the Bible into all this (as those who think like you usually try to do), the Commandment does not say “thou shalt not kill.” The correct translation is “thou shalt not “murder.” Big difference.

When I say education, I obviously don’t mean that having a college degree is going to keep anyone from wanting to have sex. There’s nothing wrong with having sex, the problem is that they’re not being educated on how to have safe sex, and that results in way too many pregnancies that are unplanned and children that aren’t wanted.

Also, I’m not going to say that everyone makes the right choice every time. That would be asinine. But what makes you think you or anyone else can make that decision for them? As a woman, I know personally would not bring a child into this world if I didn’t think I would be able to protect and provide for that child. But every woman has the right to make that choice for herself, and it’s appalling that anyone would try to take away that right.

Pro life people are really just pro birth. Once the baby arrives, mother and child are on their own.
No one has mentioned that 75% of black children are born to single mothers. Maybe this group should just spend their money on free birth control for all women. That would eliminate the need for many of the abortions and of course reduce the excess of children born to unwed mothers. And don’t forget that the leading killer of black women ages 18-35 in America is AIDS. I would say that should be bill board.

@Tina – “The point about the heartbeat is that it is a clear signal that the life process has really begun.” That’s got to be the most arbitrary thing I’ve ever heard. “The life process”, as you put it, has been ongoing since the first single-celled organisms billions of years ago. There are not discrete points where one organism suddenly comes alive from nothing. The sperm and the egg are living cells, they come together to make the zygote, which is also a living cell, and the zygote undergoes mitosis to form new cells *without* the “life process” ever having been broken or having a discrete starting point. Having a heartbeat signifies nothing. You can live without a fully functional heart — medical science has progressed to the point where technology can make up the gap — and a heart stopping is not the medical definition of death. So I think you’re just being sentimental rather than rational here.

Moreover, statistically speaking, a majority of women who get abortions in the US were using contraception during the month when they got pregnant (cf the Guttmacher Institute).

Not to mention, this billboard makes no sense because the birth rate for black women is significantly higher than that of any other ethnic group in the U.S. except Asian/Pacific Islander woman. It’s incoherent to use the word “endangered” for a population that is growing.

How many “pro-choice” people have actually had abortions? How many have suffered through the agony of the depression that ensues for years even as you constantly tell yourself….my baby would have been 5 years old…16 years old…etc.? That painful memory lasts a lifetime. Just the pain that follows is proof enough that killing your child is wrong! How many “pro-choicers” have suffered the agony and shame that follows complicated abortions as women literally rot and stink for weeks from the procedures? Or they break down crying uncontrollably at the most random times long after they have an abortion. This is the reality. Don’t sanitize it.

It is unnatural for a woman to “choose” to kill her child. Our society has so devalued life….especially the life of black people…that taking a life has become a political issue…a cause to be championed by advocates. This happens in a society where more people are concerned with someone wearing animal furs than protecting the most innocent and helpless human being on the planet…the unborn. As a society….we send a man to federal prison for killing DOGS but we legalize the murder of HUMAN BEINGS. No one can convince me that this makes any sense. Forget the “issue”. Just think about it from the perspective of a normal person. It doesn’t make sense. I agree that there needs to be more help for those living in poverty. Poverty is a problem. But never should circumstances dictate what is right and wrong.

Just for the record- I have never met a more generous group of people than the pro-life community. These people spend their entire lives worrying about and handing over half of their paychecks to fund crisis pregnancy homes, diaper/formula drives, and daycares for moms who want to continue their education so they can support their families. . . and they don’t leave these women helpless after the baby is born, either. If they spend a small percentage of their efforts/money on informing women that Planned Parenthood executives don’t have their best interest at heart, how does this make them evil? (By the way, executives CAN make big money off of their non-profit organizations- have you checked the news lately???)
And contraceptives- Are you kidding!!!! Why do you think we have so many abortions? Every time a contraceptive fails, and they DO, another child is at risk of being snuffed out by his/her own mom. Hitler would have loved the idea of convincing the Jewish race to kill their own children.

As I said earlier there are plenty of children to adopt from the foster care system (most of those have been removed from their parents because of abuse and neglect), but very few BABIES are available–though some special needs, crack babies who are available for adoption are difficult to place. The healthy infants available for adoption are overwhelmingly being waited for by prospective adoptive couples everywhere. Ask any adoption agency. Most girls now in unplanned unwed pregnancy either abort or parent their babies–adoption is not even considered by most–”I could never carry a baby for 9 months and then give it away.” is the common refrain. But adoption these days is about the birthmother evaluating profiles, meeting and CHOOSING the couple who will raise her child. It has changed radically over the past 25 years.

fultonrighty, endangered species’ eggs are protected because the animals are endangered. When humans are at risk of dying out, come talk to me. In fact, the world would probably be a better place if humans weren’t so populous.

DBH: I am not claiming only the born can feel pain. But the vast majority of abortions are performed WELL before the fetus can feel pain or have anything going on in their brains at all. In fact it’s not even legal to get a third trimester abortion unless there are serious risks to life or the fetus has an abnormality incompatible with life.

Black children are not an endangered species and I have never been solicited to have an abortion. This is 2010 and we black women have better things to do than have a bunch o’ babies. Shut up. I don’t need you to tell what to do with my body or how to run my life, or that it’s my duty to insure the future of the negro race. Just another way for men to control us.

I do not want anybdody telling me what to do with my body. These same people will be the type who will not help anybody financially with a child. In fact these are the same type of people who would vote down anything that would aim to help people who are struggling.

I’m so glad to see that Ryan is sending out a positive message with a gorgeous African-American baby on the poster. I understand that a lot of Christians think that it is effective to post graphic images but it must be clear who we re-present. Jesus said that He came that we might have LIFE. Thank-you for showing an image of life and not one of death or guilt. We must be an example of a better way, not shame, hate or condemnation. Thank-you for your message of love. It will be powerful.

One more thing…
Make abortion illegal (anti-abortion group) and all those Black children will be born. A balloon in the Black population in the U.S. will follow. Is that what you want, more Black people in this country.
Right now the Black population is 12 %. I wonder how it would be if the percentage was 45%.
Hmmm…..

I always wondered why planned Parenthood didn’t celebrate Margaret Sanger as their foundress, but once I researched her in her own words, I realized that she is in the company of every sub-human ethnic cleanser in history. She is the heroine who coined the phrase “The Negro Project” to prevent African American births and purify the world for Aryans like herself and those she deemed worthy to be born and rule the world. To her credit, unlike the “warrior” ethnic cleansers who left messy dead bodies around to be photographed for posterity, she or her successors found a way to heap further abuse on women abandoned by their baby’s fathers or physically abused by ruffians by feigning compassion for their welfare and convingcing them that abortion of the innocent child would solve their problems. (The guilt and depression afterward would keep this woman in misery all her life.)
Couched in Orwellian euphemisms like, women’s health, women’s right to “choose” (as long as she chooses abortion that is) and warning taxpayers that the children of “poor” women would undoubtedly be a burden on society by growinig up a criminal, drug-addict, disabled, etc. tPlanned Parenthood it off by gosh. Taxpayers didn’t want to spend more money on other folks’ dependent children; parents feared their daughters would have to bear children if raped, scummy deadbeat fathers were happy because they could avoid child support by convincing pregnant paramours that abortion would be best for their “relationship” using PP’s slick catch phrases; incestuous abusive family members could force their victims to legally destroy the infant evidence. And with this “get-out-of-jail-free” card they could continue to abuse more women and children.
Now doesn’t Planned Parenthood give us a warm and cuddly feeling that they are so helpful to women?
And they benefit scummy “rogue” males who want to “play without pay.” Plus they make loads of money on abortions and dispensing pills. Give the devil her due, but Margaret has succeeded where Hitler could not.

So, does this meant that “WHITE, LATINO, INDIAN, AND ASIAN” women who exercise their RIGHT TO CHOICE are not endangering their racial species? It is ridicolous that BLACK women are being exploited by this group just so that they can get their judgemental and shackling message across. All women should stand up and shout it loud that this is wrong. Especially, if you are a BLACK woman.

Quotes from the “Noble” Margaret Sanger: (Copyright 2001 Diane S. Dew)

“The most merciful thing that a large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.” Women and the New race Eugenics Publ. Co. 1920,1923

On Blacks, immigrants, and indigents: …”human weeds, reckless breeders, spawning…human beings who never should have been born.” MS Pivot of Civilization

The purpose in promoting birth control (is) “to create a race of thoroughbreds” Birth Control Review, Nov. 1921 (p, 2)

On the handicapped, mentally ill, and racial minorities: “More children from the fit, less from the unfit—that is the chief aim of birth control.” Birth Control Review, May 1919 (p.12)

On the Extermination of Blacks: ” We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population,” she said, “if it ever occurs to any of their more rebelliouos members.” from “Woman’s body, Women’s Right: A Social History of Birth Control in America”, by Linda Gordon

So, the billboards are correct! The “rebellious members” have awakened. Ms Sanger also wanted young people to learn as much as possible about sex truths, women’s gratification to take precedence over their marriage vows, no religious teaching about human beings respecting their bodies or developing any self-control.

Well, golly gosh; Margie, we have that today —along with the children born to children, the massive increase of STD’s, the breakdown of the family; fatherless boys who join gangs for protection, AIDS decimating Africa and our young people, drugs and alcohol addiction, cervical cancers due to multiple or promiscuous partners, and many people suffering from anxiety and depression. But wait—aren’t we all supposed to be happy, happy, happy now that we are so free?

Margie, old dead girl, your legacy lives in Planned Parenthood! But could you have been wrong?

“But wait—aren’t we all supposed to be happy, happy, happy now that we are so free?”

*raises hand* I’m happy, happy, happy now that we are so free.

I am totally estatic that I actually have choices. Back in the good ol’ days that certain posters here seem to crave for, I would have been left with no choice but to be a slave to my husband, taking care of who knows how many children, no voice on what goes on, and no room to think for myself because the hubby and church would be doing that for me.

I’d rather deal with todays issues that live in the tyranny of the past.

Please go on the internet and look up the Eugenics movement, and how they sterilized blacks and Indians in Virginia. Native Americans are almost extinct, and the Eugenics movement was behind it. I believe that too many abortion clinics are located in African American neighborhoods. We should be counseling young girls on preventing pregnancy, and young men as well. I do not believe that an eleven year old girl should have a baby. There are all kinds of health risks for the mother and that child. We need to go after the men who are impregnating these young girls, whether they are black, white or in between. What concerns me is the number of African American women, who are not able to conceive. What is that about? Why is planned parenthood concentrated in Urban Areas?

I think that yes abortion is wrong, it is killing the children of our world and future, just think about if your mother had got an abortion, would you be the person you are today? Certainly not, however even though the numbers may show it, I think it is wrong to just target one specific group, because it will be considered racial, why not just put faces of a variety of babies, not just one specific ethnicity.

I am rather saddened at some of the comments here, and the lack of knowledge they display.

First, lest start with “abortion is murder”: Not really. By the point the baby has progressed to the point that it could be considered murder, it’s highly unsafe for the mother to get an abortion. Before the fetus has developed a functioning brain, keyword there is “functioning”, can it be considered any more human than any other animal that we conceder inferior to us and have no problem killing?

Next up, “most abortion clinics are in minority/impoverished neighborhoods.”: Well yes. It just makes good business sense.Here’s and economics question for you: If you’re the owner of a franchise of restaurants that’s opening a new location, where would you put it? The proper answer is “In a population center, preferably an area where the kind of people who normally eat at my restaurants live nearby.” Abortion clinics open where they do because they know they’ll get more business there, not because they want to encourage more business from the people in the area.

Finally “eugenics is inherently bad, and anybody who supports it is like Hitler”: Well, yes and no. Forced eugenics is most certainly bad, not to mention illegal. However, eugenics in and of itself isn’t a bad thing per se. If someone picks out a husband/wife because they know that their children will have certain desirable qualities, then that’s just smart breeding, and most certainly not a bad thing. If two people are forced to have children because of those qualities, then that’s bad.

Also, as a resident of Atlanta, I’m wondering where everyone else is hiding if African-Americans are only 30% of the population.

Protecting black children from abortion and providing for those whose lives are spared are not mutually exclusive. It is a common charge against the pro-life movement that we only care for the baby and put mom & dad under the bus.

Nothing is further that the truth. Crisis pregnancy centers are set up to meet the practical needs of mothers and fathers to be. We at Pro-Life Action Ministries as of last week by God’s grace have saved over 2,500 children of all races. We provide and refer mothers (to CPCs) supplying them with everything from diapers to cars (to get dad to work), we inform women that the father is legally responsible( in MN) for child support whether she marries him or not. Many of the churches we work with have waiting list to adopt, provide food, shelter, clothing and job training etc.

The Planned Parenthood’s of this world will send her home with few if any referrals for follow up help, practical and emotional (forget spiritual) support. So much for choice.

Many hands make light the work, but it makes no sense for all of us to row the same oar. Some of us will address schools/housing/equality, but must we wait for all of these issues to be resolved, as we loose a large portion of our race? The pro-abortion industry would love to have us at each others throats and they’ve done an excellent job until now because of organizations like these:

LEARN, Inc. (coalition of African American pro-life organizations) comprising churches/ organizations and individuals. Many of the member organizations have day care/ alternative schools/ job training/ community banks- and yet have aggressive pro-life agendas. Its’ members are of every political stripe but regard pro-life work as a legitimate spiritual/justice/ human rights/ economic/ health issue.

Maafa21 (maafa21.com) is a feature length documentary focusing on the history of Planned Parenthood and the Black community. It is a must see regardless of your views on abortion.

Abortion has given men an out from their responsibilities (I was one of them), increased domestic violence, trashed womens’ self-esteem and endangered their health (breast cancer)etc. My wife and I co-founded an post-abortion and miscarriage ministry called Everlasting Light Ministries because we’ve experienced the “wake of choice” that the abortion mills refuse tell you about.

This billboard campaign is really a community service. I sidewalk counsel almost 6 hours a week in front of these abortuaries and I see black women and men who have been indoctrinated by the pro-abortion/choice/contraceptive world view to fall in line with them and seek one solution to their predicament – the final solution. I wished I had seen such a sign 28 years ago when I needed it.

I thought you would like to know that the creative force behind all of this is ‘Ryan Bomberger’ who is the product of a rape–his white mother was raped by a black man–he was adopted and now is trying to tell black women what to do with their bodies. I am a black woman and what I do with my body is my business.(Perhaps he will start telling black men it is ok to rape black women next!) Especially when most black men do not raise the children they procreate. Since that burden rest solely on the shoulders of black women–to the tune of around 70%, what does a man have to say about it… In addition to this, many black men prefer other men,in addition to that many are incarcerated. Also many black men don’t even respect black women enough to date them or propose marriage–while they have the highest percentage of marriage outside of their race–go figure!

I cannot read another comment from an asinine white person offering solutions. Until white people want to acknowledge their hand in the state of the black community, I don’t want to hear any comments from them about our poverty, our black fathers, our children being born out of wedlock. It iswhite privelage that allows you all to ignore what you all have created. The affects of slavery on black people in America are real. A century later we are still suffering from white slave masters ripping the father from the family. White supremacy is still alive and well. The criminal justice system is slavery reincarnated. Do idiots really believe blacks are impoverished at disproportinate rates b/c they’re lazy? Come on! The institution of racism is structured to keep black impoverished no matter how much they achieve or assimilate. So don’t tell me about our communities until you acknowledge the root of the problem-white supremacy & the affects of slavery.

PS to all the dummies out there that keep brining up welfare: WHITE WOMEN ARE THE LARGEST PERCENTAGE OF PEOPLE ON WELFARE. I swear there’s nothing worse than a GED white racist. Read a book, educate yourselves.

Plus, the need for abortion is men’s fault, since women don’t get pregnant by themselves. No sperm, no pregnancy. Forget birth control. Demand and enforce mandatory celibacy for all unmarried men.

@LoveWisdom; Please do some research…

In February 2003, the National Cancer Institute (NCI) convened a workshop of over 100 of the world’s leading experts who study pregnancy and breast cancer risk. Workshop participants reviewed existing population-based, clinical, and animal studies on the relationship between pregnancy and breast cancer risk, including studies of induced and spontaneous abortions. They concluded that having an abortion or miscarriage does not increase a woman’s subsequent risk of developing breast cancer. A summary of their findings, titled Summary Report: Early Reproductive Events and Breast Cancer Workshop, can be found at http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/ere-workshop-report.

NCI regularly reviews and analyzes the scientific literature on many topics, including various risk LoveWisdom factors for breast cancer. Considering the body of literature that has been published since 2003, when NCI held this extensive workshop on early reproductive events and cancer, the evidence overall still does not support early termination of pregnancy as a cause of breast cancer. To view regular updates on this topic, please go to http://www.cancer.gov/cancertopics/pdq/prevention/breast/HealthProfessional/page3#Section_280.

If you’re so concerned about breast cancer, then I would suggest you no longer use a bra. Yes, you heard me.. a study points to a possibility of bras contributing to breast cancer.
“Singer and Grismaijer found was that the odds of getting breast cancer dramatically increased with bra-wearing over 12 hours per day.

* Women who wore their bras 24 hours per day had a 3 out of 4 chance of developing breast cancer (in their study, n=2056 for the cancer group and n=2674 for the standard group).
* Women who wore bras more than 12 hour per day but not to bed had a 1 out of 7 risk.
* Women who wore their bras less than 12 hours per day had a 1 out of 152 risk.
* Women who wore bras rarely or never had a 1 out of 168 chance of getting breast cancer. The overall difference between 24 hour wearing and not at all was a 125-fold difference. ”

Abortion clinics don’t target or solicit from any ethnic groups. Clinic in general will try to open in areas that need or ask for them. So if a neighborhood has people that can’t afford health care, odds are good a free clinic will open close by… Planned parenthood go to places where they are needed… and they are all over. Unfortunately tho… with the crazies on both sides of the issues, more and more doctors are actually afraid to perform abortions. And because of this, the “anti-choicers” feel they are winning a war on abortion… when in reality they are actually reveling in terrorist activities. you heard me right folks.. using threats, killing doctors, blowing up buildings… well that’s to induce fear and terror… aka terrorist activities.

Seems to me, that anyone that tries to limit rights, use religion and fear to justify terror, and try to control women… well that sounds quite a bit like Taliban.

Seems like any religion, be it muslim or christianity, when taken to the far extreme… well seems to me it becomes a bit scary.
