Racist Abortion Ad
A colleague put me on to this atrocity. Ever notice how right-wingers love building platforms with shock tactics? As if thatsabortion.com didn't know who they would offend. It's one thing to be pro life, it's another thing to be just plain racist.
'Why is this "racist"? Is it because the people who provide abortion usually target people of color in the US? Black people are 12% of the population but yet abortions are performed on black people 36% of the time? Why is it that one of the largest providers of abortion (Planned Parenthood) originally arose of eugenics project intended to eradicate black people? Is that racist?
