My Comment:  Will they stop at nothing?  This has got to be the poorest excuse I’ve heard yet.  If all else fails pull the racism card.  The war on Women?  HELLO!  I will never accept this, what this boils down to, is fighting for women to have the right to murder their unborn, and this should not only be taboo for Christians but society as a whole!!  And just to show this is rediculous here are some statistics from Life News.com’

Looking at the women from the 25 areas that reported abortions and cross-classified race/ethnicity data for 2007, white women accounted for the largest percentage of abortions (37.1%), followed by black women (34.4%), Hispanic women (22.1%), and women of other races (6.4%). White women had the lowest abortion rates (8.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratios (144 abortions per 1,000 live births); in contrast, black women had the highest abortion rates (32.1 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratios (480 abortions per 1,000 live births).

So you can clearly see that it’s easy to twist statistics to any view you want.  The black community has been in an uproar over planned parenthood encouraging black women to have abortions.  Planned Parenthood is wrong, no matter who it targets.  ‘THOU SHALL NOT KILL.’ Period the end.

(CP)  Salamishah Tillet, an associate professor of English and Africana studies at the University of Pennsylvania, boasted that members of Congress and state legislators who are passing bills to place restrictions on abortion are acting out of racial fears that they’re becoming a minority demographic group in the United States.

“For the first time in American history, a majority of children under the age of 5 are racial and ethnic minorities in the U.S. I think that there’s a kind-of moral panic, a fear of the end of whiteness that we’ve been seeing for a long time, and Obama’s ascension as president symbolizes that to a certain degree,” Tillet said as a panelist on MSNBC’s “MHP” on Saturday.

“I think this is one response to that sense that there’s a decreasing white majority in the country, and that women’s bodies – and white women’s bodies in particular – are obviously a crucial way of reproducing whiteness: white supremacy, white privilege.”

She continued, “If you thought that Obama winning the election meant that the GOP’s war on women was over, you were wrong. Obviously, it’s an ongoing onslaught against women’s reproductive freedoms and reproductive rights. Ongoing state and national legislations to limit women’s reproductive choice [are] part of their platform and a response to other issues that are going on, like immigration reform as well as affirmative action. All of these are all part of a changing demographic in the U.S., in which women’s reproductive rights are part of that.”
