US Supreme Court to overturn Roe vs Wade

If you're going to plagiarize...

"Nearly 40% of all abortions in America since Roe v. Wade have been from Black Americans. This equates to more than 20 million Black pregnancies aborted. That would be the equivalent to either the populations of New York or Florida. Yet Black people make up just 14% of the U.S. White people account for 35% of all abortions as the majority population in the country."

Gary Franks doesn't offer any citations for this either.

Reportedly, he was for abortion, until very recently when he adopted this theory that abortion is a racist institution. But he also supported Clarence Thomas and opposed the Civil Rights Act (one of them, anyway)? I'm sure he has a very interesting newsletter but as a politician no less and someone with opinions which may not always have been rooted in fact, I don't think people should just take him at his word, IMHO. I'd like to see the sources.

They state:

"This much is true: In the United States, the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that for white women. Antiabortion activists, including some African-American pastors, have been waging a campaign around this fact, falsely asserting that the disparity is the result of aggressive marketing by abortion providers to minority communities."

This angle of attack seems to have pepped up in the last couple of days in the online zeitgeist. This is particularly the reason why if someone is going to quote someone who is doing that, that they at least get their numbers right..

Which is a bit gaslighty, like if I said don't picture your mother having hot moaning sex with your dad, because hot moaning sex with your dad isn't the point I'm making, I'm just over here fanning rose perfume and slow jazz and it's not at all my intention to make you picture your parents having coitus even though I can't stop mentioning it in my article. If it makes you feel better I had to think about my own parents in the making of this post.

According to which study? You have not cited.

You say it continues but my best guess is your elusive citation is an article that is a study from between 2008 to 2014. The thrust of the paper being that Abortions were going down overall fell by 25% across the time period.

The paper makes no attempt to suggest that certain groups of people are culturally or racially predisposed to seeking out pregnancy more often. The study's conclusion was that the disparity was chiefly explicable by disparities in wealth and healthcare access, not as is being eluded to, some conspiracy to target black fetuses for termination procedures.

Also from their abstract:

Unless there has been some more recent study showing that the abortion rates have spiked in any or all of these groups I don't think we can assuredly say that it hasn't gotten better, reportedly the longitudinal trend is downward as wealth and access to proper facilities increases not just for abortions where necessary, but contraception and family planning education and access.

You'd have to elaborate, I have no awareness of your question as a fact. I'm up to the gills with Tim Scott's supporters in my State who blame Democrats for our poor education system, when this state is consistently ranked at the bottom, and has been perennially governed by Republicans at every level of local and state government. I think people who may pick up or repeat the line that 'Democrats Cities are where all the Blacks are' may not, exactly, have all of their ducks and a row, either.

I don't think the latter part of your question is pertinent to the thread, neither is it accurate, and that is a much larger discussion. I mentioned Tim Scott, he is just one example, of exemplification that not all purple voters are necessarily swayed by the same views as race as you or I. Republicans have made noteworthy political gains in appealing themselves to Black American voters in recent years, and so this false axiom that Democrats and Black Americans are culturally and institutionally one and the same or something, is getting increasingly obsolete...

I don't feel like I made that loud enough in my last post,

The GOP kept Scalia's seat vacant, to overthrow Roe

The GOP appointed Gorsuch, to overthrow Roe

The GOP appointed Kavanaugh, to overthrow Roe

The GOP appointed Barrett, to overthrow Roe (and to satisfy Trump's stipulation the nominee would be a Woman)

We know this, because Trump told us this when he was running for office as the leader of the Republican Party, whose own charter now basically just reads "whatever Trump says" (Compare, prima facie, to the 2012 RNC Platform: https://ballotpedia.org/The_Republican_Party_Platform,_2012)

The Republican voter would ordinarily be cheering something like this as a campaign promise spectacularly delivered, but they aren't, because of the political backlash of actually getting rid of abortions.

I'm responding to the source of the claim. I apologize if the example I used was upsetting to criticize their blatant attempt at manipulating their readers into subscribing to an opinion that the author all but winks and nudges at them being urged to take.
