"Abortion in the black community is at epidemic proportions. They're not really aware of what's actually going on. If it shocks people ... it should be shocking."

THIS MADE ME RAGE SO HARD. They aren't AWARE? What the fuck??

[sinthe]

They aren't aware, so we need to whitesplain (I know, it doesn't have the same ring as mansplain) it to them.

"It's ingenious," said the Rev. Johnny Hunter.... "This campaign is in your face, and nobody can ignore it."
The billboards went up last week in Atlanta and urge black women to "get outraged."

We don't have anything intelligent to say so HAVE SOME OBNOXIOUS OFFENSIVE BULLSHIT TO GRAB YOUR ATTENTION. so deep

They've got a person who probably conspired to murder George Tiller up there, making statements like this, and you're surprised? Cheryl Sullenger's phone number was found in Scott Roeder's car and apparently she had a lot of contact with him.

Also? She served time in prison for planning to bomb an abortion clinic.

For the greater good!

Of the unconscious cell masses.

[ginmar]

Yeah, I love it how they just ignore women entirely in favor of...clumps of cells. But the women have already proven they're rebellious and uppity, so better start over with a baby! After all, there's lots of women just lying around. They're disposable.
