Who knew Obama’s plans all hinged on genocide? UPDATED March 2nd
While it looks like Obama just may have caved on the $300 million in the stimulus bill for sex ed and contraception, we’ve glimpsed one of the most abhorrent policies proposed by an administration, ever. What I’m trying to figure out is why it was the Congressional Republicans’ protests that have led to the most likely abandoning of this earmark, for now. Where is the ACLU? Where is La Raza? Why has there been no outrage in the minority community? Where is Jeremiah?
According to Nancy Pelosi, the reasoning for the earmark is the following:
“Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children’s health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs. One of those — one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government.”
OMG, did you get that? If the population produces fewer children, the economy will improve. Children cost the government money, so therefore, we need to have fewer children. The question, though, is who, exactly, is she referring to? Well, according to the 2007 US Census Report on Income, Poverty and Health Insurance, she’s talking to blacks and Hispanics. Shouldn’t someone tell them? After all, black and Hispanic children represent 32% of uninsured Americans whereas white children represent only 7%.
So now, on top of the wack-a-doodle environmentalists telling us we can’t have children anymore because people are killing the planet, we now have the President suggesting contraception is just another aspect of fiscal responsibility. Hmmm, I though this was the Presidency of “personal responsibility”?
So which is it – are children a fiscal or personal responsibility? I’m having a little trouble deciphering all the mixed messages. Is it different for different people? I have repeatedly expressed my opinion that children are a huge personal responsibility and if you must rely on the government’s financial assistance to raise your child, you should not have that child – personal. I also believe that the government should make limited financial assistance available to parents temporarily in need because no child should suffer the consequences for their parents’ irresponsibility – fiscal. But I’m an evil Conservative so the inconsistency in this view point can be explained away by my inherent bigotry. What is Pelosi’s excuse? What is Obama’s excuse?
It may surprise you that I am opposed to this obvious fiscally responsible use of our tax dollars. It surprises me. But it all comes down to it being one of those slippery slope policies. The reality is that the Federal and State governments already spend millions on sex ed and contraception and abortion, in a vain attempt to keep budgets under control. And none of it is working. So, being the Democrats that they are, they come up with the brilliant idea of spending more money, because more money solves everything.
But what happens when this policy also fails? You know, with the economy in such a disastrous state, the only thing left that’s free is … And the MSM is predicting a “Barack baby boom” – you know, to celebrate the ascension of The One. What is their plan when this new infusion of capital fails? We’ve already seen what Obama thinks of unwanted and unaffordable children abroad – how soon until he implements his horrifying policies here? Can you see the day when you show up at your doctor’s office to confirm a pregnancy test and the doctor informs you that you’re already at your limit? That you’re not allowed another child? How ironic is it that all those Pro-Choicers defend their position by envisioning a return to back alley, illegal abortions when the reality is that Pelosi and Obama have us on a path to back alley births.
Shame on you, Nancy Pelosi. And double shame on you, Obama. If your ideas had been policy when your mother was pregnant with you, you wouldn’t even be here right now.
Choice, indeed.

Contraceptive funding thrown under Obama’s bus
UPDATED - Bush “conscience rule” going down – “family planning” is code for abortion. From HotAir:
Barack Obama began the process of rolling back one of the more notable rules imposed in the final weeks of the Bush administration, the “conscience rule” regarding abortion counseling and contraception access. The rule generated a lot of heat from pro-choice groups, including Planned Parenthood, and its repeal has provoked cries of outrage from their opponents. The rule, though, was never as onerous as described, nor will its repeal mean forcing doctors to perform abortions:
My prediction – Catholic hospitals are next on the chopping block. Why? When they close, the Feds will have access to facilities in those low-income neighborhoods where “National Health” will receive the warmest of welcomes – great photo op. (Added bonus – more “evil religion-ists who don’t want you to have health care” propaganda should equal front page coverage in the NYT, if it still exists.)
HotAir - Best query – Is this really the top priority of the administration?

GOPMOM, are you really one of those “contraceptives = baby killing” folks? I don’t think I would have pinned you that way.
But I do agree in the broad sense that Obama has to stand up to Congress, who will kill any chance of the stimulus being effective if given a chance.
Nice attempt at deflecting the real issue here. Of course the stimulus is a Democrat boondoggle. But this is one of the parts of it that is the most heinous – especially combined with Pelosi’s statement. No, I don’t think contraception is baby killing – if a life is never created, how can it end. But, Obama and Pelosi have resoundingly announced that contraception is not enough – they are enthusiastic supporters of abortion. I just find it ironic that they are enthusiastically supportive of preventing minority births – one way or another.
You’re a smart guy, why haven’t you picked up on this? Are your Obama after-glow glasses on – no reality gets through?
And Congress is not the kiss of death for the effectiveness for the stimulus package – the stimulus package is the problem. Want to stimulate an economy? Let the people keep more of their money.
I think you people are missing the point! Yes uninsured children cost us money, most of them are not “intentional” children and come from poor low income families. Birth control is a good choice, I think people are reading into this wrong!
Why the hell does everything have to be about minorities? You are ALL AMERICANS! AMERICAN AS ME AND I AM A MIXED WHITE PERSON WHO GETS NOTHING FOR MY 10% INDIAN OR WHATEVER I AM! Its ridiculous that AS AMERICANS we focus on what the minority is or isn’t getting! Why can’t we just be americans? Who cares what your color is, I love culture – that is traditions of heritage but not racist crap!
Contraception will stop teen pregnancy – its not focused on a minority just because we have a high percentage of minority based unisured pregnancies! How many teen pregnancies are there? How many of all of the pregant people are teens still in high school or even MIDDLE SCHOOL? Maybe you people should focus on the fact that we have children raising children because THIS IS SOMETHING CONTRACEPTION WILL HELP!
GET OVER THE RACIST COMMENTS YOU MAKE ABOUT BEING A MINORITY! TO ME THATS BACKWARDS RACISM – BUT STILL RACISM!
Shannon, You’ve missed the point. This policy is directed at minorities. And apparently they don’t even know it. Just more of the “If Barack says it, it must be true” mentality. Obamanots are so stupid they don’t even recognize when they’re being targeted. No one is safe.
Geez, I’m just trying to help the people out. It’s your baby the guvmint doesn’t want to take care of. They don’t care about mine because I don’t get a check. Moron.
This is something that has recently really gotten my interest. The whole cycle of abortion, reduced birth rate, increasing social programs, and resulting lax immigration standards is illustrated time after time in Europe.
The countries that have really embraced the whole low birth rate thing in Europe, along with increased government social programs are now reaping what they’ve sown. If you look at the birth rate in Britain, Spain, France, Denmark, and others they are really very low – Spain is on track to half their population in ten years. These countries all have lots of entitlement programs that are very expensive to run. In order to pay for them, they need more taxpayers, not less, so they’ve relaxed immigration policy to import the taxpayers that they haven’t created through a natural birth rate. Some of these immigrants have come in such numbers that they have taken over entire sections of cities. They also don’t have any problem with their birth rate, so their numbers are increasing at a higher rate than the average citizen. Twenty or so years into it, these countries are now dealing with populations who want to exert the cultural norms of their home country through the power of the law. An example of this is the new Sharia courts in Britain which are empowered to adjudicate Sharia law rather than British laws. Another example of this is the prosecution of Geert Wilders in Denmark for making a movie uncomplimentary to Islam. There was just a report coming out of Denmark where public school principals have admitted to discouraging Jewish children from attending because they don’t think that they can keep these children safe from the Muslim children who also attend their schools.
In our own country, if increasing population is such a problem, then why are there so many who are fighting to give citizenship to people who have entered the country illegally? It just doesn’t make sense to me. If we are already overburdened to the point that we can’t even welcome the births of our own citizens, then how will we handle millions of new citizens? The obvious fact to me is that the politicians are falling all over themselves to bring them in so that they can get their votes and their tax dollars so that they can prop up the new social programs coming.
If you need further proof of the effect of low birth rate on countries around the world, look into what Russia and Japan are doing to encourage new births. I would imagine that these are two countries that for different reasons, don’t have a huge amount of immigration and are now hurting for people due to their low birth rates.
Abortion is aimed at the lower class, which just happens to include a large percentage of the minorities in this country. That is why abortion clinics are opened up in inner cities which also happens to include a large percentage of the minorities in this country. Abortion is and always has been a form of population control.
That’s a very weird and (I think) pretty indefensible way of looking at abortion.
Abortion isn’t aimed at the lower class. Even at a very cynical level (which I think is in line with your comment), abortion tends to be a Democratic issue and the lower class tends to vote Democratic. Why would Democrats a reduction in the numbers of lower class voters?
I don’t think abortion relates in any way to population control. It’s viewed by pro-choice folks as an individual rights issue, and by pro-life folks as a moral/human rights issue.
ATG, Alex is 100% spot on. Take a look at what low income women’s health benefits cover – they go to women’s “clinics” for annual exams, birth control and “family planning”. And it is accurate to say minorities are statistically more likely to be members of low income groups. They also tend to live in urban settings, where there are more “clinics”.
You are a smart guy – you’re telling me you never noticed this before? Look who founded Planned Parenthood and why. Abortion is exactly aimed at the lower class, or those who cannot afford to raise their own children – statistically more likely to be a minority.
The blindness of the Liberal minorities in this country on this issue is remarkable. The government’s funding of abortion is a way to make it socially acceptable, mainstream, and to keep minority populations under control.
So, I’m a racist because I won’t support BHO but Planned Parenthood, founded by someone who wanted to limit the mingling of the races, is the savior of the low-income minority woman? Didn’t you read what Nancy said? She’s not talking about the middle class – they pay to raise their own children. She’s talking about minorities in America today.
And come on, we’ve known each other for awhile now. Can you honestly say BHO has more in common with the average black man in America or does he have more in common with all the elitist, Ivy league white guys he has surrounded himself with? Doesn’t all his talk about personal responsibility sound a little hollow considering he’s pushing this agenda (FOCA)? He’s using our tax dollars to kill his own kind – and I mean that in a literal manner.
Of the 44+ million babies aborted in America, 15 million would have been black babies. And the number is growing. How can 12% of the population be responsible for more than 1/3 of the abortions? That’s not noteworthy? That’s a statistical anomaly vs. a campaign? How do you explain that?
You’re right about abortion not being about overall population control, until now that is. And it is viewed as an individual right vs a human right. But apparently, the founder of the largest abortion provider in this country saw it as something entirely different – a way to control the population and its make-up. Maybe, just maybe, if the Liberals realized this very relevant but hidden under the rug fact, they might feel differently about abortion in this country. And the leadership they just sold their souls to get.
I’m not the only one of his position. Many blacks know it, too. Apparently, just not enough. This is interesting reading: http://www.nationalblackprolifeunion.com/?p=1
It’s pretty much what the Republicans (GOP) would do but with more money and some less oversight, but then again if the GOP does it has to be right, righ?
I’m going to let your comment stay up, Daddy (although I suspect you are not a father at all – maybe a sperm donor?), as an illustration of how the decimation of an impartial media combined with the unionization of the public education system has led to the complete inability of a significant % of the general public to not only form a coherent thought but also to recognize the reality that is life in our country. Anyone who thinks the Republicans/GOP (including conservatives) contribute at all to the genocide of blacks and Hispanics in America is too far gone to even be participating in the political process. Unfortunately they do, in spades. Which, of course, is what got Obama into office in the first place, where he promptly began funding international genocide on minorities (althought they are not necessarily minorities in the countries in which they reside), in addition to the funding of and “counseling” and “family planning” leading to the murders of his own people here in America. A brilliant strategy, no?
But try to explain this, “Daddy” – 37% of abortions but only 12% of the population. Can you do the math? As I see it, there is either something fundamentally wrong with the black population that they see abortion as a simple solution to their inability to grasp the concept of birth control (heavy sarcasm intended***) or there is something fundamentally wrong with the Democrat party, whereas they have been unable (or more likely unwilling) to reach the black community and help them where they need it most – getting back responsibility for their lives. Could it be the Democrat party needs the blacks in America dependent on them to continue to secure a necessary voting block? How could blacks claim they want opportunity, equality and parity and at the same time continue to contribute voters, money and momentum to the party that keeps them enslaved to the government? The party that is literally killing them? Can you not see that the 15 million babies that have been killed could have, if nothing else, increased the political clout of the black community. 15 million black people – dead. Republicans did not do this. The black community has done this in complicity with Democrats.
Abortion is the social solution to the (rare but existing) budgetary constraints of Democrats and Liberals, not us. Our solution is personal responsibility, both before and after you make that baby.
Try doing income level vs. abortion frequency and you may find the reason for the racial disparity.
Are you kidding? That’s all you can come up with? Hmm, maybe not so smart after all – or is my argument making too much sense? I truly expected more from you.
So, somehow, if your income level is low, so is your IQ? – this is your official position?
You are a real piece of work – after al the assumptions and accusations you have leveled at Republicans/conservatives, turns out you’re just another typical Liberal classist/racist.
Birth control is cheap – self-control is free. Using abortion as birth control is indefensible.
You made me day. Thanks.
My position is that abortion is used disproportionately by low-income people, who also tend to be disproportionately black. I would be surprised if the tendency for black people to disproportionately get abortions would hold true if you controlled for income.
Your position is that there is either something fundamentally wrong with black people or that Democrats are intentionally trying to commit genocide against black people. And you accuse me of being the piece of work…
You’re intentionally misrepresenting or misunderstanding me – you do not account for my “(heavy sarcasm intended*** disclaimer)” regarding the “something fundamentally wrong with black people” statement. Thats okay, I knew you would (and others might) – that’s why I put it in there.
But yes, my position is that it is in the interest of the Democrat party, Liberals and/or Progressives to keep black people/minorities under their control – partly by limiting the population. (Could this also be why they keep “promising” amnesty to illegals but never seem to deliver – they keep control of that voting block by instilling yet more fear.) I will say it again and again and again – until the blacks realize it. The Dems need the black/minority voting block in order to remain present (and occasionally, to gain power, as in 2008) – the blacks/minorities need to get out from under their control. The Dems have been promising deliverance and prosperity for 40 years – where is it already?
Again, it is Conservative core principle vs Liberal self interest – I hold everyone responsible for their decisions about how they live their lives because I believe them all capable of making the right decisions, the decisions that will ensure their prosperity and happiness vs. I do not tell them that someone else has the power to prevent them from reaching their potential, so therefore, they must preemptively allocate that power to me.
Back to the subject at hand – Obama administration encouraging and funding abortions in minority and low-income communities – If everyone took responsibility for their own reproductive responsibilities (not rights, we all already have the creator-endowed, inalienable right to reproduce or not) – there would be no need for these inappropriate and highly offensive government initiatives.
I must say, I’m really surprised you’re giving in so easily. Are you really that busy today or just having trouble refuting the evidence? After all, I can’t prove any of this to be true. It’s just my common sense combined with a very basic understanding of human nature, simply gleaned from living on the planet – no PhD, no MA – just life and the truths revealed everyday by ordinary people.
And just for fun, because it is a snow day, I checked the US Census site:
1970 – Black Families with or without children under 18 years – 29% below poverty level
2007 – Black Families with or without children under 18 years – 22% below poverty level
But, abortions in the black population up and rising. Hmmmm.
[...] suppose it is possible this small story will go completely unnoticed, what with the Sebelius nomination today and the Rush Limbaugh speech causing heart palpitations in Liberals across the nation. And [...]
I tend to find that a lot of conspiracy theories are funny. But this one managed to be stupid right along with it.
Now, did we check the same site? I went onto the us census and opened up an excel spreadsheet that outlined data from 1975 – 2003 which first showed abortion rates by all races (decrease over time), whites (decrease over time), and then blacks (woah – decrease over time).
I’ve also checked out an article on USnews which had some interesting bits. (http://health.usnews.com/articles/health/healthday/2008/09/23/us-abortion-rate-at-30-year-low.html)
“From 1994 to 2004, the rate of abortions among Hispanic women fell by 20 percent, from 35 per 1,000 women to 28 per 1,000 women. The drop in the abortion rate over the same period for white women was 30 percent; for black women, it was 15 percent.”
“”Most U.S. women having abortions today come from lower income groups, she said.”"
“”They are older, they are more likely to be unmarried, more likely to be mothers, and they are more likely to be women of color.”"
Before jumping on ‘the man’, I would take into context the social, and psychological aspects of these woman’s lives.
I suppose, Marie, the easiest way to cope with the horrifying and life altering truth that the people you thought were going to deliver you are actually trying to enslave you is to call it a conspiracy theory. I think that’s kind of what they thought of the US Government’s 1932 Tuskeegee Syphilis Experiments, wasn’t it? No one wanted to believe that was happening either.
The point of this article is not the abortion stats (although thankfully, down). It is the Democrats’ government policy of enticing women to abort – fact, women of low income – fact, who happen to be more often minorities – fact, and the statistically significant discrepancy in the percentage of population as compared to the percentage of abortions – fact. No conspiracy theory, just facts for you to then decide on for yourself. You don’t have to believe it – and I have no stake in whether you (and other minority women) do or not. I just find it terribly sad.
As for taking into context “the social, and psychological aspects of these woman’s [sic] lives” – that is exactly what I have done here. It’s what I do here everyday. If your life is in shambles, don’t have children. If the Democrats in government tell you for forty years they are going to make things better for you and they don’t, look elsewhere for solutions. Surely you have an opinion as to why the Dem’s have not been able to achieve any of the objectives they find so critical to attempt right now, especially considering they are willing to risk the bankruptcy of the nation to achieve them.
And being enslaved by your government, whether you know it or not, cannot be good for the social or psychological aspect of your life.
No, not coping what so ever. Because I can assure you that if conservatives were supposedly behind this, you would just dismiss it with a wave of your hand.
“The point of this article is not the abortion stats (although thankfully, down).” >>> “But, abortions in the black population up and rising. Hmmmm.”
Another issue I have with this artical IS your stats. Your writing one thing, but the data says something else. You can have all the opinions and ideas that you want to, but they won’t do you any good when the data says otherwise.
The fact that older women are having more abortions then younger women does not shock, offend, or anger me. Since the teen pregnancy rate is down, this does not seem to have a large impact on my generation.
The fact that clinics cater to low income populations doesn’t suprise me either. It’s all about marketing. You choose to look at the positioning of the clinics as the cause of high abortion rates among blacks and latinos, I look at them as a response to high abortion rates. They will go wherever the money is.
“Birth control is cheap”
It is now. Thankfully Bush got shut down when he tried to have birth control looked at as another form of abortion (lovely man). Fortunately, I get mine free while I’m in school, however I take it for other medical reasons.
Then, along with abortion rates, you have to take in account what type of education these people are receiving about abortion and contraception. Education varies in low income communities. Social issues.
“And being enslaved by your government, whether you know it or not, cannot be good for the social or psychological aspect of your life.”
No kidding!! Has this JUST struck you today? What many (blacks) have known for YEARS? Wow. Congrats on this epic epiphany! I think I’ll break out some apple cider.
Less time on the internet Marie and more time in the library – that’s all that I can suggest. You have a lot of learning to do. Start with grammar in written and spoken word – important skill to have when looking for a job.
BTW, a chip on your shoulder and “hating the man” doesn’t help when looking for a job.
But thank you for admitting this is all about Democrats and the people that rely on them to tell them how to live, what to do, who’s oppressing them, who hates them, how to vote and where to go to get their hand-outs – you seem to have all the answers. That’s all I was looking for.
‘night.
Oh come on. The only way you can come back at my argument is by telling me what I should be doing academically? THAT sounds like hot air to me. I really shouldn’t be surprised, though. That has, and will always be your escape route.
“…and “hating the man””
Re-read. Where did it say that I hated ‘the man’? When you find that direct quote, come back to me.
“But thank you for admitting this is all about Democrats and the people that rely on them [blah, whatever and so on]…”
(see retort above)
Marie, I was instructing you, like I would any child who stubbornly refused to give up the last chocolate chip cookie even though she’d just eaten the rest of the box. Children require direction and supervision – and limits.
And you continue to veer off of the subject. I wonder what the next idiotic, off topic rant will be? Tangent anyone?
I didn’t veer off topic. I addressed your typical and eventual defensive response to any topic on which I challenge you. You didn’t address the topic –
“the Democrats’ government policy of enticing women to abort – fact, women of low income – fact, who happen to be more often minorities – fact, and the statistically significant discrepancy in the percentage of population as compared to the percentage of abortions – fact. No conspiracy theory, just facts for you to then decide on for yourself.”
You clearly disagree. Discussion over, one would think. But then you resort to your MO of offering excuses and complaints about the plight of “the people” –
“No kidding!! Has this JUST struck you today? What many (blacks) have known for YEARS?”
Which, again, is the question this article has raised. Why do black people look to the government (especially now with Obama) to solve their problems when the government has never solved their problems – 40 years, still no broad spectrum equality. Why are minorities primarily living in urban, low-income neighborhoods, having more abortions – whatever comparison you pick – why is there still inequality when Affirmative Action has been in place for decades, Civil RIghts laws, education, etc? Why? Why? Why? You still haven’t answered this question. You never do. I even gave you an in – I said maybe there is something wrong with black people (with sarcasm, of course) and you totally missed your opening. You seem to believe that you have some sort of special understanding of the race issues – answer the question. Why? If government really is the problem, why are you now looking to the government to “fix” everything?
So, not off topic, not a rant – that’s your department – no idiocy. It is idiocy to never answer a question but just get defensive to deflect. But I’d really like an answer. If the government is the problem, how can the government be the solution? Doesn’t this statistical anomaly in abortion rates raise questions, either regarding black culture or government policy?
Heh heh, the baby picture is funny,
Did he really do that?
