There's Got To Be A Better Anti-Abortion Argument Than That

An anti-abortion group called Operation Rescue plans to demonstrate at the Democratic National Convention in Denver this weekend, with a message comparing racism to abortion. Their awkwardly-worded pamphlet reads, "Which is a worse crime: slavery or murder? The correct answer: murder. A slave can get free, but a murder victim cannot get 'undead.'" It will be quite the tough sell to the DNC crowd, that's for sure. [DP]

Alveda King is at it again. You know what would be awesome? If these nuts on both ends would shut the f up and work together to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Wouldn't that be constructive? As ar as I'm concerned, very few people are pro-abortion. I'm pro-prevention and pro-choice. Ideally, unwanted pregnancies wouldn't occur and no one would have to make the choice, but we don't live in an ideal world. Unwanted pregnancies are a reality. Legal or not, girls and women will have abortions. What everyone can work on is to shrink the number of unwanted pregnancies. Crazy, I know, but as much as we puritans love to paint our Western European and Japanese counterparts as sluts and whores, they've ALL got lower STI rates and abortion rates than we do. Why? Comprehensive sex education and a culture in which safer sex is the norm.

No. 6 · Global Wire

This campaign is particularly offensive to black women, as they account for a large number of abortions that are conducted in this country. If abortion is made illegal, then what will the anti abortion crowd say when there is a high number of black women dying from botched abortions? Couldn't you call this another form of slavery?

Where are the grammer police when you need them.

Why am I not surprised by this. I think the PETA were guilty of comparing killing animals to slavery too. I guess this is there way of saying you blacks didn't have it so bad.
