Did you know supporting abortion is racist?

@spongemunky: Not true.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: He's actually right. In the US, we have abortion largely due to Margaret Sanger, who openly called for using abortion to kill off blacks. Feminists hold Sanger up as a hero to this day.

@Sicarium: But I think women of all races do go for abortion for whatever reason. And I do not think something so generic should be restricted to one nation and made a blanket statement out of.
Also I do not know Magaret Sanger and her policies. How does she get away with wanting to kill off black babies in specific?

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Abortion was brought to the US for the express purpose of wiping out the black population. There's no way to sugar coat that or dismiss it.

Modern feminist acknowledge Sanger's role while burying her racism behind "negative eugenics." You strike me as far too reasonable to be OK with that.

@Sicarium: I am not OK with that. I am not OK with any form of injustice.
I just do not know Sanger or her policies. First time I hear her name.
I do however know, women all over the world have been known to have abortions, not because of race or because of some racist feminist.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Then maybe you should be more willing to look into something or ask questions before proclaiming it false. Meant as a genuine suggestion.

Regardless of why abortion is used today, Spongemonkey's statement was true.

@Sicarium: America unfortunately is not representative of this world even if most Americans seem to think so. What happens in America is not necessarily true of this world. So that blanket statement is ridiculous to begin with.
And even his statement is inaccurate for America itself. Just because a proportion of women might do that, does not mean all of them do it.
Also, the mothers having abortions of black babies are presumably black themselves, right? Also, just because it was brought with the express purpose of something some generations back, do you honestly think that could still be the current reason? Like no one ever had an ounce of intelligence to make their life decision on their own?

So thank you for your genuine suggestion but I stand by what I said.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Disappointing. I clearly specified "in the US" at the beginning, and you couldn't even ackownkedge why he was using the word racism.

@Sicarium: Like I said, I do not know of this woman and her policies and I usually refrain from over reacting to so called propagandas. Maybe I believe people have more intelligence than to follow propagandas blindly, especially years after its existence. Maybe I always see such reactionary posts as hyped up, to get a reaction and cause more hate of something without a full understanding.
I do not really want to dwell deeper in US personal issues.
My answer was in direct response to the askers qn, which assumed this to be true world wide.
I can live with your disappointment with my responses. Perhaps this issue is close to home for you and you can't see beyond that. It's fine.

@Aidolovemostofyourthoughts: Actually, he didn't specify worldwide or not. I did however, and you were responding to me.

You're focusing on abortion today. I'm talking about the beginning in the US. Different things. But I get it, "my side is always right, the other is always wrong."

You can chalk it up to propaganda or assume I'm somehow unable to see something if you need to.
