Due to socio-economic (and perhaps in some cases cultural) issues, blacks are disproportionately affected by abortions. I'm glad someone is raising awareness about this and making inroads to the black community.

We might also note that blacks are more affected by chemical plants and other major pollution sources, as these facilities are usually located in poor areas for several reasons.


Sanger did ally herself with eugenics... also allied with black leaders like W.E.B. Du Bois and Dr. King DuBois was on that show, Benson, right?

[BrifsGefel]

The most mainstream example of that view is the book Freakonomics, a bestseller published like 2 years ago, which mentioned that crime rates had fallen in the USA because of abortion, because the people most likely to have criminal offspring werehaving less kids.

Which undoubtedly derived that from newspaper articles written in the mid-nineties saying the same thing. This has been around for quite a while... I'm surprised it's just catching on with the religionistas.

It also means I'm a lefty too, because the only people who believe in eugenics are on the right. Good to know.

In many of the churches nothing is said about abortion. A few have negative things to say. It is only at an african american church where I have heard it praised.

Gee, wouldn't that make them...moderate?

You'd better watch out, or the Bamster will take your liberal card away.

Oh noes, Ben is making a prediction about the future!

Well sure, because we all know there were more abortions when there were no contraceptives.

[pMJWFoAWD]

The point being it's just the inverse.

Abortions and contraceptive use increase hand in hand.

We have an article here that states abortion rates are higher in black women. Im sure I could rustle up a study or ten that points to decreased use of contraception amongst black men. So therefore there seems to be a correlation, in this instance, of decreased contraception use and increased abortion rates. Stay with me here. I would agree with you that pregnancy is more likely to happen without contraception. But abortion is more likely with the availability of contraception. Abortion is the 'fail-safe' for contraceptive failure.

I suppose you supported the initiatives calling for anyone purchasing a gun to see the statistics showing how much more likely they are to injure/kill themselves than defend against intrusion, and forcing all prosecutors trying for DP convictions to show the juries the number of faulty cases and overall costs to the state as well?

Exactly. Training is key. You don't put someone on a motorcycle or in a car with no training.

Or to jump off a bridge, or to OD on pills. WTF is your point?

Check out the suicide rate in Sweden.

I ran a red light in Mississauga last week. I was desperate to get out of the place as soon as possible.

[cafeviahe]

That's true. Many states force people take courses on drinking and driving.

I don't think Walmart sells firearms anymore. They used to. I know the one near me doesn't carry them in the next aisle, right over there.
