BK>>Funny, all this talk against abortion, yet not one word about
BK>>medical care after the child is born, about insuring the child
BK>>has a decent life.

 TR> Insuring each child `has a decent life' is not the
 TR> responsibility of the taxpayer. That burden falls on the
 TR> shoulders of the `parents'of each child.

 The Catholic Church says otherwise, which is why the Catholic
 church has the moral high ground on this issue.

 OTOH, where the hell do you get off deciding what a pregnant
 woman should do if you won't take any responsibility for the
 result?

 TR> NO choice, only obedience to Christian, biblical teachings.
 TR> The Commandment against murder is un-ambiguous, and clearly

 TR> Commandment:

 As is Christ's instruction to feed the hungry, house the
 homeless etc.

 TR> Planned Parenthood Targets Black Women - Star Parker

 TR> May 06, 2013

...

 TR> Yet, once again, those standards have gotten lost. And,
 TR> once again, black Americans are bearing the brunt of the
 TR> cost of a nation that has lost its moral rudder. This time
 TR> as result of wantonly legal and available abortion.

 Where are black women being forced to have abortions? Yet they
 are compelled by economic circumstances all too often.

 TR> According to the Centers for Disease Control, blacks
 TR> accounted for 35.4 percent of abortions performed in 2009,
 TR> despite representing, according to the 2010 census, just
 TR> 13.6 percent of the US population.

 Being poor does tend to lead that way.

 ...

 TR> Planned Parenthood, the nation's largest abortion provider,
 TR> systematically targets minority women for abortion.

 More like the right wing targets black women for poverty, and
 planned parenthood just locates clinics near those who need
 their service most.

 ...

 TR> Sanger, whose racist and eugenicist views are well
 TR> documented, replied, "I believe the biggest sin in the
 TR> world is parents bringing children into the world that have
 TR> disease from their parents, that have no chance in the
 TR> world to be a human being practically. Delinquents,
 TR> prisoners, all sorts of things just marked when they are
 TR> born."�

 Opinions very similar to that are repeated frequently when
 condemning unmarried women, and all too often black women are
 target for that condemnation, all too often by commentators on
 the right.

 ...

 TR> You'd think he was addressing Ronald McDonald House, not an
 TR> organization that provided 333,964 abortions last year,
 TR> disproportionately on black women.

 TR> Black unemployment and poverty rates are almost double the
 TR> national averages. I suppose Planned Parenthood, with
 TR> support from our president, and $542 million in taxpayer
 TR> funds, feels it is doing its part to solve this problem.

 It is quite clear the right wing in America is doing nothing to
 solve this problem.

 BTW, I pointed these unemployment and poverty rates out to you
 years ago.
