Black pro-lifers to protest at DNC
Just received in my e-mailbox. Maybe they can make a trip to McCain HQ next:
DENVER, Aug. 20 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ — Colorado Right to Life and American Right to Life will stand with black leaders from around the country at their Power in the Park rally and press conference on August 25, 2008, 8:30 am at Martin Luther King Park, one block from the largest Planned Parenthood abortuary in the nation.
The killing center, dubbed Auschwitz, by local opponents of the racist organization, is situated in north Denver’s minority neighborhood – consistent with the patterns of targeting minorities noted by Blackgenocide.org.
Speakers include presidential candidate Dr. Alan Keyes with America’s Independent Party, Jessie Lee Peterson, president of BOND, Rev Clenard Childress of Blackgenocide.org, Flip Benham of Operation Rescue National, and Denver’s Bishop Phillip Porter, former chairman of Promise Keepers, who will expose the tragedy that although black women comprise 6% of the population, they receive nearly 40% of the abortions in America. The leading abortion providers exploit blacks by placing 94% of abortuaries in urban neighborhoods with high black populations.
These leaders agree with CRTL and ARTL that because abortion is always wrong, every innocent human life deserves legal protection, from the moment of fertilization and through natural death.
Black leaders, including Alveda King, niece of Dr. Martin Luther King have recently been asking why black Americans are being targeted by Planned Parenthood for abortions and demanding that the killing stop.
Dr. Keyes, in fact, relates his revulsion about Denver’s new abortion mill:
“The number one taker of black life is abortion, and it’s time people woke up to that fact. The location of this latest Planned Parenthood facility in yet another minority neighborhood is a part of the continuing fulfillment of the racist, eugenicist dream of their founder, Margaret Sanger, but it is a travesty of the American dream. Planned Parenthood’s agenda discards the principle that we are all created equal, which is the basis of liberty for all Americans.” – Alan Keyes

Now this is the kind of black reparations I can get behind.
Me too.
I don’t want to be a pessimist, but this info has been out there for years. Why would black voters finally start listening? And their boy Barry doesn’t just advocate for abortion but infanticide.
While it’s great to see a protest like this, it will make no difference with the DNC. Their coffers are lined with Planned Parenthood money.
A hearty round of applause to these men and women! This will be one interesting convention.
Even if it won’t make a difference within the DNC, it will highlight the racism and eugenics ideals that the DNC possesses.
That’s a good thing. It might make some thinking black folks turn from the party.
Can I postulate Barry O. would actually kill more black Americans than help them? He’d put the death factory in high gear.
Je$$ie? Al?
By extension, their coffers are lined with my taxes paid to the federal government. This makes me sick.
You’re assuming that people will pay attention. Most of them will be too star-struck with Obama to care.
Guitarplayer, we are also assuming that they will recieve any MSM attention. But hope springs eternal.
guitarplayer:
You failed to read my comment more closely. I said thinking black folks.
Wow.
The media won’t pay attention because Alan Keyes is not worthy of attention.
But good to know that Reductio ad Hitlerum is still in style.
Where has he advocated infanticide?
Like Saddleback, this will be completly ignored by the media elite!
I am sure MSNBC will be falling all over themselves trying to get to Martin Luther King Park to cover this event. I can see the in-depth coverage and the concern spewing forth from Keith Oberman in my mind.
You will see more about Bill Ayers or John Edwards love baby then you ever will of this event. Protest? Where?
TOS #16,
You are definitely still an ignoramous moronous obomanous.
Hopin’ don’t make it so. The MSM will make a point of ignoring them. And the Obamessiah has 90% of the black vote, so he can ignore them too.
True, we can hope. But when there is the big pro-life march in DC each January, it gets no coverage. I’m not too optimistic.
Not just black folks, but anyone.
These brave men and women will be called “Uncle Toms” or the “RNC’s House Niggas” because they dare to stand up to the butchery that is Planned Parenthood and their idealogical partners, the Democrat Party.
Why are we in this handbasket and where are we going?
You’re absolutely right. When Mike Steele was running for Lt. Governor here in MD, he got Oreo cookies thrown at him during one of the debates.
Born Alive Act, google it, it’s all your good at anyhow.
That is
a littlemisleading…because zero percent of the men are having abortions…so why include them?That has been thoroughly debunked as a lie.
There is speculation that Oreos were handed out, but there is no proof of this. If that happened, shame on whoever did that.
But shame on Steele and his campaign for lies like “It was raining Oreos… They were thick in the air like locusts.”
Hopefully these people bought tickets to Obama’s ‘free’ speech…Obama’s Denver Speech ‘An Underground Sellout
Huh?
I’ll tell ya, not in a good direction. At the rate black women are aborting babies, along with a naturally declining birth rate, even as the birthrate of latinos continue to excelerate, blacks will very soon find themselves to be a politically irrelevant minority to the Democrats.
Not that the Democrats have ever really held the black communities in high regard anyway.
It was? When? Where?
I watched the debate and saw it myself.

You must have missed the recent ad nauseum coverage of Obummer’s vote in the Illinois legislature during his years there.
Sean Hannity’s guest this Sunday night will be Jill Stanek, a nurse, who found a survivor of a late-term abortion in a soiled linen closet in the hospital in which she worked. She held the child for 45 minutes before he died.
She testified before the legislature. A bill was proposed to allow life-saving meds/measures and/or pain meds be given to these tiny survivors. Obama was the only lawmaker to vote NO. He wants to kill them inside as well as outside the womb. He’s doing some serious backpedaling.
JE$$$$$$$$$$IEEEE? AAAAAAAAALLLLLLLLLL?
Time to stand up for life. You know, you are “reverends” – right? You call yourselves leaders in the “black community” – right? You carry the torch for Martin Lurther King – RIGHT?
/sarc off
Black woment account for 6 percent of the population is misleading because only women have abortions…they should have said they account for 12 percent of women.
I won’t hold my breath waiting for Jesse and Al until I hear the screams of frost-bitten devils.
Hmmmmmm……….If 40% of the abortions performed in this country are from the Black populace, what does that say about the other 60%? Does that mean we just have to wait a few years and there won’t BE a Democrat Party?
He voted THREE TIMES against the “born alive” act. He’s tried to say it was because the “mother wasn’t protected”, but the third one included protection for the mom, and he STILL voted against it! Now he’s saying it’s because it might “endanger Rowe v. Wade”. Even Barbara Boxer and Shrillary Clinton voted for this act!
Any questions?
#28…
Black women may only be 6% of the TOTAL population, but they are a significantly higher percentage of the FEMALE population (lets say, 12%, assuming that the gender split is 50%/50%). Still 12% to 40% is quite a large gap.
I do have one issue here, however. No one is forcing anyone to get an abortion here…it’s a personal decision by these populations (perhaps an uneducated and VERY unfortunate decision) but a personal decision none the less.
Saying that placing abortion clinics in poor minority neighborhoods is genocide, is like blaming McDonalds for making people fat. You CHOOSE to eat unhealthy food, and you CHOOSE to have an abortion.
Furthermore, has anyone correlated these statistics to the number of black children born out of wedlock compared to whites? I would venture a guess that there are plenty of statistics to back up a position that out-of-wedlock pregnancies are far more likely to end in an abortion than those where the father is also the husband. This would SIGNIFICANTLY skew the statistics.
Oh, it was thoroughly debunked as a lie by Rusty… Guess you missed it… So did I.
Oh okay Sambo. I may be splitting hairs but then it is safe to assume that black women then would make up 6% of the population of women, no?
Michelle, are you going to be there? I wish I still lived in Colorado!
Planned Parenthood receives over $300 million dollars per year of our tax monies courtesy of the Federal Government. Whether you want to admit it or not, the eugenics monsters are profiting from all of us.
Nice link to the Federal version of BAIPA. Obama wasn’t even in Congress then. You should have linked to the Illinois state one, which was really an unnecessary bill considering the State of Illinois already had born-alive protection since 1975. Since this protection was already on the books, maybe he just had a problem with some of the other elements of the bill:
source
You can bet they will be there screaming about them being repressed because whity is keeping frost from them though.
LGM
Yeah, we know the MSM is afraid that traditional aspects threaten the existence of your grand delusion of a utopia for the world, but the Hitler comparisons are ineffective and old.
Sixty years of it tends to make the shock and awe vanish.
Besides, negative coverage a man of African descent might mean Mr. Keyes will call them “intolerant” if he’s put in a bad light.
For certain liberals, that’s like the end of world and a chance they just can’t take.
No, they make up about 12 % of the women…6 % of total population. Thats why I said its misleading the way they phased that.
LOL – that was Rusty who said that. It is not the first time their posts have been crossed up!!!
Where’s lgm when there’s a math question?
This might be slightly OT, but this reminds me of the great Sir Charles quote…
Funny you should mention that TOS, another weak argument. The “already on the books version” you linked says this right at the start:
And you wonder why they needed a second bill. Because I’m sure all the abortions in IL are just to protect the health of the mother. /sarc Oh and your hero Uuhbama who voted against it the first time in the state version said he voted against it because
But how do you explain that when the bill was revised to match the federal bill word for word he still voted against it:
Yeah, so one can effectively surmise that if a baby survives an abortion that Obama is all for a doctor killing it after it is born alive. His own record stands clear on this fact no matter how hard you try and spin it. Even all the (D)’s in Congress voted for the federal version and agree that a child born alive during an attempted abortion is a human being that needs protection. You will go to any length to cover for your boy, so sad but not surprising.
Prolly off somewhere making himself feel better.

But the media pays attention to ___ (fill in the blank with your favorite Hollywood liberal). So WORTHINESS has nothing to do with it.
#37 Buck said: “is like blaming McDonalds for making people fat.”
Would it be reprehensible for them to put a mcdoos next to every fat farm in the country?
So Sambo does it make you feel better to change it to this? Black women comprise approximately 12% of the female population but receive nearly 40% of the abortions in America.
Isn’t that much better?
Why is that weak? Did you read the whole thing? Is there not protection for a “born-alive” fetus?
Read all the version of the bills and you’ll see that wasn’t the only change.
Truer words have never been uttered….
I hear all of the time about how Liberals are fine with their taxes being raised to help the poor. But what they don’t realize is that of all the income transfers (see redistribution), means-tested transfers, those allocated for poor people, account for only about one-sixth of all transfers. So, just like any other government program – there is no accountability and your money doesn’t go where you thought it would. The Samaritan’s dilemma is on full display here. It’s the dilemma that occurs when assisting low-income people with transfers reduces the opportunity cost of choices that lead to poverty. So, in essence, the vicious cycle of poverty continues.
Yes it does Rus! I don’t like misleading statements no matter which side of the issue they’re on!
Some of you nit-pickers need to get a life.
It doesn’t matter how many, where, when, who, all that matters is that CHILDREN are being murdered and anyone who stands up and says enough is a hero in my book !!
The media
won’tshouldn’t pay attention becauseAlan KeyesBarack Obama is not worthy of attention.Fixed it for you.
I applaud these groups. And I’m not surprise those who are pro-abortion are mocking their efforts.
Man, I’m sooooo sick of seeing and hearing the Obamessiah 24/7. It seems like he’s been president (in his and the MSMs minds) for at least a year already.
#52…
Only from the perspective that it would cost everyone more tax dollars for the health care of all of the overweight individuals. It’s a free country. If people choose to eat themselves into oblivion, they have my full support. Just don’t ask me to pay for their bad decisions.
Also, I don’t think people are getting abortions because the “abortuary” is closer to their house than the hospital.
You don’t normally find Hardee’s and Popeye’s restaruants in high income areas either. Is this also a case of class warfare?
Personally, I couldn’t be any more staunchly against abortion. However, I don’t think it’s the governments job to legislate morals for us. I think it is the responsibility of our churches, our communities and most importantly, our parents to instill in us our moral values, our sense of right and wrong, etc.
As I see it, the correct solution for this problem is more churches, and more education, not fewer “abortuaries”. Let’s spend more time teaching people why they SHOULDN’T rather than finding ways to make it so they CAN’T.
Okay TOS… Here’s the Federal Law.
Here’s the original state law.
Here’s the amendment to the state law.
If you add the amendment to the state law (that’s what amendments do, you know), it looks like every comma, period, colon, and semi-colon is the same.
Ball’s in your court…
Weaksauce.
Bill SB1662 in 2002 that Obama voted against on April 4th, 2002:
Obama’s verbal opposition on the floor as to why he opposed the bill.
Ammended bill in 2003 SB1082:
So according to Obama he “trusts” a primary care doctor performing the abortion to make the “correct determination” to save the life of a child that survives an abortion and finds adding a second doctor to verify viability upon such a circumstance to be overbearing and not needed.
As I said, his record and words stand as a matter of public record.
Oh, and since TOS is so literal, I do realize that amendments can also delete and modify — not just add. (Thought I would get that out of the way before you got side-tracked.)
Some interesting statistics here. Not sure of the validity, but found it to be interesting reading.
Hey AKGrizzly — Didn’t mean to jump in. You were doing a great job of dealing with TOS. I just got tired of reading his Tons o’S**t.
Margaret sanger would be thrilled to know how well her little eugenics program worked out.
General Buck, I love your handle.
As for this:
That is a bold lie.
Considering zero eyewitnesses at the actual event other than Steele and his campaign staff saw Oreos being thrown, and considering Steele’s story has changed at least five times, and considering no media members saw it, and considering this only became a news story three years after the alleged Oreo toss, I’m going to say that the lie of thrown Oreos has been debunked.
And Sambo (still can’t believe you’re using that handle), hope you learned a lesson. You pointed out a pretty basic error and people are giving you a hard time. Many on this site don’t want the facts if the facts hurt their point. So, thanks for standing up to them.
She’d probably be pretty disappointed that Planned Parenthood allows minority women to get mammograms and OB/GYN visits at a greatly reduced cost.
The light is slowly (way too slowly IMHO) being turned on in the black community about what White liberals are all about. It may be too late, but it’s worth the effort!
They’re so altruistic… with our funds.
.
As opposed to the self-proclaimed “reality based community” , which values facts and reason above partisanship and always argues in good faith.
/sarc off
Get over yourself.
Thanks! You have my sincere respect for recognizing it. I was wondering how long it would take for someone to comment…
Wow, I’ve never liked Charles Barkley, but that really cracks me up!
She’d probably think that the day will come when minority women have been aborted to low levels of the populace and don’t need the services…one way or the other they must be eliminated, that was Sanger’s ultimate goal.
Given how she was worshiped in my sociology classes in college, I have no reason to believe PP has jettisoned her evil intentions.
None whatsoever.
And if that’s the case – then let PP drop the abortion services and do the health care. I’d be fine with that.
Just not the murder of minority children.
That’s not true either. It was news the next day on the web and local talk radio. You honestly think any of the liberal TV stations or newspapers in MD are going to report that? It didn’t become a bigger story until Steele ran against Cardin for a senate seat in 2006.
During the debates, I saw something being thrown, but didn’t hear later what it was. No it wasn’t “raining oreo cookies”, but even one is bad enough.
Yeah, but we let the liberals comment here, anyway.
I fondly recall many pro-aborts disregard any facts from pro-life websites as biased…especially if those facts contradict their love of harming women and children.
Here’s Rusty again, defending eugenics and killing unborn babies.
When are you ever on the side of the defenseless, Rusty?
#41 TOS said:
Then why were Illinois babies who were surviving labor-induced abortions being shelved in soiled utility closets to die, as late as 2001 when BAIPA was being presented to the senate?
I’d rather take Obama’s word directly. Since 2003, he has defended his committee vote down of BAIPA on the sole basis that federal language protecting “Roe” was missing from the bill. Last week, Jill Stanek (the Illinois nurse at Christ Hospital who spearheaded BAIPA and testified before Obama’s Illinois state committee) produced Illinois Senate BAIPA vote documentation from 2003 proving Obama’s five year defense of his vote to be false.
Five years is a long time for an elected representative to be falsely claiming something that existing documentation proves otherwise, don’t you think?
Your linked article, written by Newsweek’s Anthony Stevens-Arroyo, is an amazing piece of liberal sophism. In it, Mr. Stevens-Arroyo accuses those who define the practice of shelving unwanted, labor-induced abortion survivors into soiled utility closets to die as “infanticide” as practitioners of “verbal terrorism.”
And yet, nowhere in his article does Mr. Stevens-Arroyo describe this horrific practice which prompted the Illinois BAIPA legislation to begin with. Rather, he spends his words trying to associate those who describe this horrific practice as “infanticide” with anti-Irish cartoonists who depicted their subjects as apes and baboons in the 19th century. Rather asymmetrical logic coming from a tenured professor who Newsweek considers to be their predominant expert on religious affairs, no?
Since Mr. Stevens-Arroyo failed to provide examples for the reasons he believes Senator Obama “may” have voted down BAIPA (although Obama has already been dishonestly clear in his five year explanation of his vote) perhaps you can do me the favor of an explanation:
How?
Since Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois (the institution which was exposed for practicing this form of infanticide) already receives federal funding, and as Mr. Stevens-Arroyo admits, the children of Illinois receive taxpayer funded health care to begin with…why is this an issue?
How? And are there examples of this phenomenon at the federal level?
I have been searching for specific examples of these three “problems” that both you and Mr. Stevens-Arroyo think that Senator Obama should have said he had with BAIPA, but I haven’t been able to find any yet.
and I still can’t believe you have a problem with it.
Black women do make up 6% of the population but since only 50% of the population can have an abortion…its misleading as I see it but not an error.
I find that most people on this site want the facts. I think Rus was just stating that the number is still very high…which I do agree.
Thank goodness these people are speaking up. Democrats hugely support Planned Parenthood, yet claim to be “for” african-americans. They are in complete denial about PP’s genocidal founding prinicpals, but maybe now the publicity will reach a critical mass and people will get the message. I sense a slow, steady move toward the word getting out and PP falling more and more into disrepute. It may take awhile, but I think it will happen.
Cool – just curious: is there any difference between a black pro-lifer and a white pro-lifer?
Why do they refer to themselves as black pro-lifers or black conservatives?
Aren’t they trying to move away from color and have people look at the content of their characters?

Oh and if you want a serious answer to your stupid question why don’t you ask your buddy Uuhbama about race politics:
Of all the pro-bono programs that provide these same services to the under-privileged in my area of the state, I cannot name a one that receives funding through, from, or as a result of PP!
My point, there are many other programs – some private, some public – that do this w/o making a mint off of ending the lives of the unborn as a sideline.
My, my, how tolerant & non-judgmental of you.

No – no difference. Just decent people standing up for the defenseless against a cruel and selfish world and against a great, great evil.
Because liberals like to believe that blacks only support the Democratic party and that any black (or woman, or other minority) that doesn’t really isn’t black/Asian/Hispanic or is a self-hating woman.
First, the mother has just attempted to rid herself of the unwanted product of intercourse. I would say that her rights have been terminated. Second, when did this unwanted product of intercourse become a child? Obama can’t say now. Was he able to make that determination then?
Glad to see it, don’t know if it will matter much in the long run.
FYI: The “Bishop” there is not a Catholic one.
Intersting omission from your news article oif one of the biggest “name” pleaders in that event.
Roman Catholic Archbishop Chaput will be leading prayers there with Alveda King, Monday Night.
Notably he was NOT invited to be part of the “religious leaders” gathering at the DNC (but a couple of radical nuns were).
Archbishop Chaput’s words:
No wonder the Democrats didn’t invite him. Given Obama’s actions on abortion, and his “verbal gymnastics” (great term!) regarding abortion…
Archbishop Chaput’s words are like a moral dagger to Obama.
Cheap.
I would consider myself among those “thinkers” (you’ll disagree, I’m sure, but we’ll have to agree to disagree) and frankly, I cannot imagine ever voting Republican. I disagree, fundamentally, with the party’s platform — as do millions of other people who happen to be black and white and Latino and Asian and of every stripe and color. I personally disagree with abortion, for myself, but I’m so opposed to conservative ideals, I would never support a conservative candidate. That doesn’t make me or (since you probably just think it’s something “with me”) unthinking, it just means we have different virtues we hold dear.
As for the “their boy Barry” comment, the fact is, no matter who was in Barack’s place right now, s/he would have overwhelming black support. Despite being social conservatives, African-Americans consistently vote Democrat. There’s genuine reasons why. I’m a social liberal, but I think I know why those who are not choose not to go Republican.
I guess Charles Barkley now disagrees with you, since he’s long since become a Democrat.
Ordinary Coloradan:
Thanks for the quote. Archbishop Chaput’s words succinctly summarize why killing the unborn is unconscionable for any reason.
And Alveda King’s presence adds gravitas as well.
He wrote this back in January:
Hey Gov Sebelius, did you read THAT?
We can’t truthfully claim to be Catholic and then act like we’re not… God certainly won’t be fooled
Yes, he was talking about YOU and others like you (Kennedy, etc).
Hey Dems. does that sound like a man who would give Obama a “go along get along” kind of speech?
I guess we know now why he was not invited to their “religious leadership” meeting in spite of being the head of the largest religious group in Denver.
I expect we will see more of this language and challenge from the Archbishop on Monday. That is, if the press has the courage to cover the event and not put it below the fold in the back of the paper.
Every day I wake up and thank God I am an atheist so I don’t have to worry about issues like this.
He’s since become a Democrat and that changes his previous statement how?
Funniest comment by chap ever made
Uh, you thank God you’re an atheist?
Real meaning:
It simply means that the person who made the statement clearly no longer believes it. That seems notable to me, and I just wanted to keep you up to speed.
Um…I think it was irony and sarcasm rolled up into one…
