Entry: Is Abortion Racist? Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/is_abortion_racist#23685 Post contents: Excuse me, Mr. Epstein, but leaving aside the early crucial (and highly successful) role promoting abortion had precisely as a means to address perceived black pathologies, or its continuing political manipulations as Mr. Zmirak's recent piece on Geraldine Ferraro demonstrated, not to say the charming Nazi contributions on this site of not so yore, the suggestion that wanting to off black kids to ease the injustices of affirmative action "could just as easily" be interpreted "as trying to portray opposition to affirmative action as genocidal or eugenic" doesn't even reach the level of tendentious. The Advocate's purpose was simply to reveal that the racist exploitations animating Planned Parenthood from its inception burn no less brightly today. To argue that it follows wanting to kill blacks because of affirmative action is no different than saying opposition to affirmative action is also genocidal isn't just a non sequitur; it's simply absurd. Obviously there are other motivations for murder besides racism; but to pretend that abortion has not been, nor is, a central component of this country's Aztec assault on the innocent is not merely delusory, it is intellectually contemptible.
