One of the main talking points I'm hearing from the pro-abortion crowd is that it's "racist" to be pro-life.

Think about that for a minute, and consider the fact that African-Americans have a much higher abortion rate than do whites. So if the pro-lifers have their way, there will be a lot more Black babies born than there currently are.

So ... who are the real racists here? The pro-aborts are the ones pushing for policies that will result in fewer Black lives; the pro-lifers are the ones pushing for policies that would result in more Black lives.

Lest we forget, one of the great heroines of the pro-abortion movement was Margaret Sanger, and one of her strongest arguments for abortion is that it would help keep the Black population under control.

As is the case with just about everything else, the left loves to scream "racist", but when you drill down into the details, it is they who are the true racists. Like when then pushed for defunding the police, which has resulted in Blacks being the victims of more violent crimes.
