More on Race and Abortion…
Sigh.
I’d particularly draw your attention to the comments made by Spellman College women’s history Professor Beverly Guy-Sheftall:
“To use racist arguments to try to bait black people to get them to be anti-abortion is just disgusting…These one-issue approaches that are not about saving the black family or black children, it’s just a big distraction…Many black people don’t know who Margaret Sanger is and could care less.”
At least somebody has some sense.
Feministing also covered this. A writer on the community board noted that this billboard is especially insulting to black women and children because it “animalizes them” and “assert[s] that black women have no control over our own bodies and that we’re somehow intellectually weak enough to be controlled by the so-called eugenics-crazed poor-black-baby-eaters, aka Planned Parenthood.”
And here is another interesting piece on the Abortion/Eugenics thing.
