The financial insecurity isn’t just about buying condoms. It is about the cost of raising a child.
And the kids can be adopted, places like California try to shut down crisis pregnancy centers.

1/3rd (some say 1/4th) of all abortions come from 12% of the US population. How can anyone be comfortable with that?

All lobbying groups need to be looked at but Planned Parenthood is one big lobby.

NRA. Etc.

I think Planned Parenthood opened up one of their big megacenters in the Twin Cities, I’m not sure where it is located but the article refers to such “megacenters”.

For once I would like to see anti-abortion measures that target only the rich.

This doesn’t even make sense to me.

The rich don’t have a high abortion rate for whatever that means. Of course, one is too many by anyone.

This statement I quote seems to make this about class warfare.

“Anti-Abortion measures”, hmmn, so it’s not targeting the poor? We want easy access to abortion in the poor communities?

Leaflet Missal on Minnehaha in St. Paul have a number of pro-life books and items.

If one took out the minorities out of the abortion equation, our rate would be much lower.

So, again, as long as life is treated as disposable, we will see problems in the inner city and elsewhere.

This goes to when sometimes you hear people say, we didn’t have these problems before the “sexual revolution”. One can reject such thought but it seems to have become teaching that appeals to many Catholics.

With abortion, USA is up there with Canada, China and North Korea… especially if 2 of these countries are the repressive regimes of China and North Korea, there’s something wrong.

The rich? It’s not like we don’t have our own rights to choose, rights and responsibilities and so on.

I’ll bet rich people use the pill much more than condoms.
So what?
Maybe wealth American blacks do. I’m not rich so I have no firsthand knowledge.
The financial insecurity isn’t just about buying condoms. It is about the cost of raising a child. People who are financially insecure are more likely to chose abortion than people who are not.
Then they should either use contraceptives they can afford or avoid doing that which causes pregnancy. That has nothing to do with race or ethnicity.
Same question for rich people who use the pill.
Exactly.

And neither do the statistics cited by Ben Carson have to do with race or ethnicity. Therefore the statistics are not “racist” as he claims.
 
That particular legacy they have long abandoned.
I’m sorry, if most Planned Parenthood clinics are found in minority neighborhoods or within walking distance of those clinics, that doesn’t sound like they long abandoned it. The data is above.

They just keep executing soon to be born black children in numbers greater than the percentage of the population that is black.

As I already explained, that is just a consequence of supply and demand. There is no sense in locating in a rich neighborhood. Those people can go anywhere and pay any price.

That is the choice of the clients. PP does not twist their arms.
Now, it is a poor choice, and one we should discourage by paying for their delivery costs.

There are many more poor whites than poke blacks.

Nobody, including the soon to be born, twists Planned Parenthood’s arms into executing anyone.

PP gets hundreds of millions of dollars in taxpayer and donated money. Maybe they should repurpose that money.
 
Isn’t it institutional? In this case, the institution of Planned Parenthood?
There are those that wish to claim racism to be institutional in law enforcement, finance, and education.

But when we find an institution that is really and truly set up to wipe out a race, these same people are blind.

Perhaps the greatest tragedy of our time.
People are outraged over phantoms but oblivious to real evil.

True, and well said.
Interestingly, the institutions you mentioned - education, K12 and higher education, large city law enforcement, etc., as well as media are all controlled by progressives.
If these institutions are racist, and progressives have been in control of them, well, the conclusion is obvious.
 
“Pay delivery costs”, wow, well, obviously, some words are not being heard here but that’s fine with me and perhaps a lack of knowledge on the topic.

Crisis Pregnancy Centers has been mentioned but some political interests do all to shut that down. Yes, someone besides the State or whomever is already willing.

Hey, whether it is an intentional statement of racism or not, the end product says racism.

That nobody is twisting these girls arms but the truth is someone is, the pressure on these young ladies, family or boyfriends. Do we just shrug our shoulders and say, “Well, I don’t care, that’s up to them”, so this is really kicking the can down the road.

It’s enough to be against abortion per Catholic teaching… but the dis-proportionality is alarming and I’m not just going to shrug my shoulders about that,

“Hey, I think the minorities are oppressed” and “Oh, maybe up to a half of all of their unborn babies are aborted? No concern of mine.”
 
Hillary Clinton received the Margaret Sanger award in 2009, Pelosi received the award in 2014.

Margaret Sanger Awards - Wikipedia.

Sure, that’s really in the distant past.

Imagine the Republicans supporting abortion law and Planned Parenthood to the hilt; and then, if someone says it’s racist because of the rates and demographics, them saying, “well, nobody is forcing these women to get abortions”. Most Planned Parenthood clinics found in minority neighborhoods or very nearby.

And now, another cure-all, help with delivery costs, well, those costs are going to be aided… apparently, one party has fought to shut down crisis pregnancy centers.

PP doesn’t decide who comes to them for abortions. Their clients decide to wipe out their own babies. We should be more focused on giving those clients a positive reason to keep their babies.

Those institutions are not racist, and even if they were, the conclusion that your are unwilling to state outright because it would sound so ridiculous, would still not be true.

Another falsehood, if you mean centers that offer real aid to pregnant women, and not just misinformation centers with lots of misinformation and no aid. Those I could see being opposed.

Hmm, what Centers are there that offer ‘misinformation and no aid?” Inquiring minds want to know.
