Abortion’s long racist history

&NewLine;<p>Much of the current political debate over abortion has to do with popularity when it is essentially an issue of morality&period;&nbsp&semi; When we only speak of popularity as opposed to morality&comma; we should remind ourselves of the popularity of slavery in the early years of the American public&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Those on the left like to call Republicans and conservatives racists no matter what the issues may be&period;&nbsp&semi; It is that old-tattered &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;race card” that they play when they have no good counterarguments&period;&nbsp&semi; They even claim that opposition to abortion is racist&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>If you take a serious look at abortion historically or contemporaneously&comma; you may get a different picture&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The modern proponents of abortion in America rose out of the racist progressive movement of the late 1800s and early 1900s&period;&nbsp&semi; It was a time when Democrat progressives were proffering a variety of doctrines relegating Negroes into a social and human sub-class&period;&nbsp&semi; White supremacy was reflected in the presidencies of Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt&period;&nbsp&semi; The former segregated the military and the Executive Branch of the federal government&comma; and the latter crafted New Deal programs intentionally designed to transfer desperately needed jobs from blacks to whites&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Democrat leaders fully embraced the racist pseudo-sciences of Phrenology and Eugenics &&num;8212&semi; giving a false scientific imprimatur to the belief of Negro inferiority&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>One of the most prominent advocates of racist theology was Margaret Sanger&period;&nbsp&semi; Her mission was to save white humanity from the contamination of genetically inferior people – Asians&comma; Middle Easterners&comma; Jews&comma; and above all&comma; Negroes&period;&nbsp&semi; These were times when Democrats in the south – with the approval of the Roosevelt administration &&num;8212&semi; were performing hideous and needlessly deadly medical experiments on Negroes&period;&nbsp&semi; It was a time when southern Democrats were conducting a genocidal reign of terror on the descendants of former slaves&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>These were also times when Sanger was not only promoting abortion of black babies but also the forced sterilization of black women – often without their knowledge&period;&nbsp&semi; In the community&comma; the procedure was referred to as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Negro appendectomies&period;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>To promote abortion&comma; Sanger founded the American Birth Control League as a means of preventing inferior human stock from propagating – using both birth control and abortion&period;&nbsp&semi; Sanger did not mean voluntary birth control&period;&nbsp&semi; She wanted to make it illegal for a Caucasian to marry a person of inferior standing&period; &nbsp&semi; She wanted to prevent Negroes from having children of their own – literally making it illegal&period;&nbsp&semi; And if they could not refrain from parenting&comma; mandatory abortion&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Sanger not only travelled the nation promoting the aborting of black babies&comma; but her group sponsored or arranged the procedure in many cases&period;&nbsp&semi; Sanger was a regular lecturer before white supremacist groups&comma; such as the Ku Klux Klan&period;&nbsp&semi; Her organization shared its mission with Adolph Hitler – who praised Sanger’s work and offered cooperation&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>After Hitler declared war on the United States&comma; Sanger had to disassociate from the Fuhrer&comma; and changed the name of her organization to … Planned Parenthood&period;&nbsp&semi; The name change did not change the objective of the organization at that time&period;&nbsp&semi; The goal was to abort as many babies with African DNA as possible&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>As Planned Parenthood expanded&comma; the target audience did not change&period;&nbsp&semi; PP Clinics were initially located in exclusively black neighborhoods&period;&nbsp&semi; It was not until Roe v&period; Wade that Planned Parenthood’s services were extended to non-black clients&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Whether by design or tradition&comma; Planned Parenthood has disproportionately terminated the lives of more black babies than white babies&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Current numbers show that approximately 39 percent of abortions involve white women&comma; people of color &lpar;to use the new term&rpar; account for 61 percent&period;&nbsp&semi; That includes blacks&comma; Hispanics&comma; Asian and other minority groups&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Blacks are approximately 30 percent of the total abortions&period;&nbsp&semi; However&comma; … when you compare those numbers to their population demographic&comma; blacks have – by far &&num;8212&semi; the highest per capita abortion rates of any group&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>Looking at it another way&comma; there have been more than 20 million black babies aborted since Roe v&period; Wade&period;&nbsp&semi; Had those developing humans been allowed to be born&comma; the black population of America would be 20 percent of the current population instead of 14 percent&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>&nbsp&semi;Sanger’s mission has been enormously successful&period;&nbsp&semi; To put it bluntly&comma; black influence and power has been significantly reduced by abortion – millions of fewer voters&period;&nbsp&semi;&nbsp&semi;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>The use of abortion as a political tool is no secret&period;&nbsp&semi; Years ago&comma; I had a private conversation with a top Chicago government official – a Democrat&period;&nbsp&semi; He praised abortion and rhetorically asked&comma; &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;Can you imagine how many niggers we would have without legal abortion&quest;”<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>What strikes me strange about the political debate over abortion is the constant attacks on the Republican&sol;conservative pro-life community as &OpenCurlyDoubleQuote;racists&period;”&nbsp&semi; The folks who want to see millions of black babies live are somehow the racists&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>There are a lot of ways to look at abortion&comma; but there is one undeniable truth&period;&nbsp&semi; Sorry to say … whatever you think about the procedure&comma; those who support abortion-on-demand are supporting an institution that has very real racist underpinnings&period;<&sol;p>&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;&NewLine;<p>So&comma; there &OpenCurlyQuote;tis&comma;<&sol;p>&NewLine;
