At least this is a small step forward.

I think it’s interesting how many black leaders deny the fact that more African Americans are killed in utero than out. They also deny that organizations like Planned Parenthood are specifically targeting their community.

I also think it’s amazing that the US is one of the few countries in the world that aborts more boy babies than girls.

At what point do we just call a spade a spade…abortion is being used to cull our society of the unwanted. It is sad but true, if you are black, male or disabled you have a greater chance of never being born.
 
Pastor Walter Hoye seems not to be offended in the least. He features one of the “racially inflammatory” billboards on the front page of his website. Rather, he is offended by the targeting of racial minorities by the for-profit abortion industry.
 
I’ve always thought that rich, white pro-choice advocates are secretly bigoted…this sort of proves I might be on to something.
 
Oh, please. 3 out of every 4 Planned Parenthood buildings are in poor, predominantly black, neighborhoods. The other 1/4 are on the outskirts of them (i.e. predominantly another race but it’s still very close to a black community).

They aren’t fooling anyone by pretending they’re not targeting blacks.
 
It amazes me that several of these billboards have been removed because they are “Offensive”. I think as a Blakc leader I would be more offended that we were being exterminated for profit.
 
Why does every debated subject in America nowadays have to always be tied with racism?

I know right? Why provide federally funded female health centers in low-income neighborhoods? It’s not like those people there need it. They only set up shop so they can convince poor people to buy abortions… C’mon, this sounds a little silly.

Racism has dual concepts in America, making it popular across the media spectrum. People want to be proud of their culture and recognized for it, while at the same time not being discriminated against or treated differently because of their ethnic background and culture. It’s very difficult to have this both ways, and major media who likes controversies picks up on this and runs with it.

Ever notice how no one mentions abortions done by private doctors catering to the wealthy (non-white) women?
Could it be that if we don’t mention it, it doesn’t really happen?
Hmmmmm

These very forums support my statement. There is no discussion of the wealthy non-minority women’s access to abortion. They are able to obtain abortions easily and discreetly. No one seems to want to picket doctor’s offices in Beverly Hills. There is no need for a PParenthood in Beverly Hills. But abortions are still done there.

It is still wrong. In think it is ok to use PP as the example. They have “normalized” pre-marital sex, contraception,& abortion along with the rest of the pop-culture media. I wish I hadn’t believed Cosmo magazine was a source of acceptable sexual norms when I was 17. It is just sad.

I’d love to be in on one, if you’d care to fire it up for us.

Until then, if you like to protest obesity you probably would go to some place like McDonalds and not a fancy tie and jacket restaraunt in NYC. Your points don’t really make much sense to me.

Ask the Democrats. It seems to be their favorite “get out of the voter’s doghouse free” card.
 
I fail to see a racial issue. I see an issue period. The fact that Planned Parenthood is there for the needy has liitle to do with the issue. The abortion and who performs it, or sets it up, comes after the stinkin thinkin and the fact its legal.
