Anti-Abortion Billboards: “Black Children Are An Endangered Species”
Anti-abortion billboards posted in the Atlanta area are sparking controversy. The billboards show a black and white picture of a Black child with the headline, “Black Children Are An Endangered Species.”
The billboards are courtesy of anti-abortion group Georgia Right To Life and the Radiance Foundation both of which are in connection with Toomanyaborted.com.
TooManyAborted.com makes the notion that the state's abortion clinics are meticulously placed in Black areas as a means of modern day segregation.
In support of their cause they have posted the YouTube video below on their site saying that the high abortion rate plays into a statement repotedly made by Planned Parenthood's founder Margaret Sanger saying,
“We are paying for…an ever increasing, unceasingly spawning class of human beings who never should have been born at all.”
Are they right?
Are Black children really becoming an endangered species?

I'm pro-choice, and find racially targeted anti-abortion ads pretty distasteful. Remember, it was Henry Hyde, the author of the now infamous Hyde Amendment which bans federal money being spent on abortion, who made clear at the time that if his amendment meant more poor and/or black women were denied abortion services, then all to the good. Let me quote him directly: “If we can save the child of a ghetto mother then we have achieved something.” And: “The unborn children of the rich in America have no defence when it comes to abortion ... In this way, they are seriously disadvantaged beside the unborn of the poor, who are at least protected if an abortion is not available under welfare." Quoted during a visit to New Zealand in August 1978. If more black women are seeking abortion services, then one might presume they are experiencing more unplanned pregnancies. The answer, clearly, isn't to ban abortion.

This is something that is not new and it goes way back into the early 1900's w/the Eugenics movement . Please do research on that movement and Margaret Sanger, before we *****ume in this day and age no one is that evil to attack the Black community like that. Your sadly wrong. It's a fact. For those who don't like to read (damn shame) there is a do*****entary about this and you can see it for free on YouTube called Maafa21. Check it out, it's real educational. It's sad that most blacks are not interested in there own history, yet everyone else is. "If you have no IDENTITY then you will IDENTIFY with anything" (best quote I ever heard; sorry can't remember who stated this.. n-e who) PEACE!!
Women do have the right to do what they want but, what *****es me off is they keep making the same mistake over again you should only get to have so many abortions. I know girls ( I work at a medical office)who just keep letting dudes go raw and keep getting abortions. I know how to drop the rate.... cut they medicaid. LOL
