For those who haven’t heard, and I don’t blame you with the way the media is today, Planned Parenthood is under intense fire as of late for taped conversations where a caller, posed as a racist, inquires about his donation to the organization being used to exclusively kill black babies.
YouTube has plenty of recordings from multiple sting-type operations.
These outward racist statements shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. Planned Parenthood was co-founded by Margaret Sanger, a racist and eugenicist who said; “Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.”
Since 1974, abortion has killed more blacks than AIDS, violent crimes, accidents, cancer, and heart disease…combined. Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortions in the U.S. and 78% of their clinics are in minority neighborhoods.
The question is; why hasn’t this story been everywhere? This type of genocide should be on the front of newspapers and the leading story on our 9 o’clock news. I have a theory; abortion is seen, not only as a right, but as a sacred act, not to be belittled, degraded, criminalized, or stigmatized. The only acceptable position is “pro-choice.” To be against abortion is to be against a supposed reproductive “right.” Hopefully this story opens some minds and informs people about the racist beginnings of this organization and the disgusting act done there…like it or not.
P.S.
I find it interesting that when I ask how somebody how he or she feels about abortion, he or she, when ill-informed, undecided, or without strong opinion, usually says “I think a woman has the right to choose,” or something of that nature.
This is an interesting answer for a couple of reasons; first, it doesn’t answer the question about abortion, just about his or her feelings on the legality of the act, and second it shows just how the argument and discussion about abortion has been framed. To be against abortion, or even question the “right,” is to be anti-woman, ant-constitution, and anti-reproductive rights. If you can frame the debate about the legality, the morality is never rationally discussed. Furthermore, if you can frame the language (fetus, zygote, and product of conception, while scientific terms, dehumanize the baby) you can control so much of the debate.
When I tell people that I think abortion is disgusting, should be criminalized, even in the case of incest or rape, should not be federally funded, and believe abortion is the ending of human life, I am stigmatized as “extreme,” even by people who would personally never have an abortion. What I haven’t been told is that I am being illogical. I’m just being mean.
I want someone to disprove my logic; Life begins at conception and the premeditated act of ending life should be investigated and criminalized according to the law.
You must ask yourself these very important questions;
Am I for or against the act of abortion, without regard from my feelings of the legality of the procedure?
Am I against abortion except in “extreme” cases (usually incest, rape, and “health of the mother” clauses)? What logical reason do I have for this belief? Is it an emotional or a rational argument for a pro-abortion stance for these circumstances? Does it just seem compassionate?
Also:
Is there any other scientific or moral explanation for when life begins, other than conception?
Should a premeditated act of ending life be criminalized?
