Over time, there have been many genocides carried out around the world. In just the past 100 years, we have seen (among others):
- Bosnia-Herzegovina: 1992-1995 – 200,000 Deaths
- Rwanda: 1994 – 800,000 Deaths
- Pol Pot in Cambodia: 1975-1979 – 2,000,000 Deaths
- Nazi Holocaust: 1938-1945 – 6,000,000 Deaths
- Rape of Nanking: 1937-1938 – 300,000 Deaths
- Stalin’s Forced Famine: 1932-1933 – 7,000,000 Deaths
- Armenians in Turkey: 1915-1918 – 1,500,000 Deaths
With some quick arithmetic the above list gives us a total of about 18.8 million people killed for the simple crime of who they were. What if you were to find out that right under your very nose, a genocide topping all of those together is being perpetrated against a minority group in the United States?
Since 1973, there have been approximately 53 million abortions performed in the US, 19.25 million of which were performed on blacks. Currently, the black population in the US is in the neighborhood of 36-37 million. This means that in the past 37 years, the number of black babies killed is equivalent to over half the current population.
Some sources report that over 40% of pregnancies of black women end in abortion.
Over 70% of Planned Parenthood abortatoria are located in black communities.
Planned Parenthood and others like them are conducting what amounts to a de facto genocide of the black population in the US. If they weren’t hiding behind the facade of providing “family planning services” and killing a group of people that our sick society had not condemned to sub-person status, the outcry would be so deafening that nothing could prevail against it.
Granted.

wagon; Regarding seeking advice from your priest, I highly commend you for doing so. By doing so you are absolutely correctly excercising your faith in God. One thing I would recommend is that with prayer and present counsel with your priest/clergy make a decision NOW as what you would do. In any situation, hypothetical or real, that a decision must… Read more »
Roe v. Wade is one of the worst court decisions ever made. It’s decision gave a social OK to abortions and subsequentially opened doors to destroy babies on a scale that the most most devout genocidal maniac would be proud.
Agreed there. Kudos to Ed. If he did nothing else for me with that post, he gave me food for thought. That’s not a bad thing at all in my book.
I’m pretty sure that Dick Armey would vehemently disagree with the second sentence, as would I. But he hasn’t been part of party Leadership for a number of years. The Tea Party is his ticket back in—and those that have been running the party resent that. . I actually see the schism being reduced rather than increased. The media will… Read more »
There’s a schism developing locally and nation wide. The guys who were running the Pubbies for the past few years were tolerant of SoCons as long as they weren’t actually in charge.

Libertarian-leaning fiscal conservatives held the reins of the party? I’ll amend that by saying the guys who want to make it look like they’ve been fiscal conservatives while all the time expanding government and spending. In other words— The guys running the Republican Party up till now sure as Hell haven’t been Fiscal Conservatives. And they haven’t been Social Conservatives… Read more »
Libertarian-leaning fiscal conservatives held the reins of the party? News to me. When was this supposed rein-holding taking place? There’s a schism developing locally and nation wide.

The libertarian-leaning fiscal conservatives that seem to be becoming more vocal because they see themselves losing their grip on the reins of the party don’t want to discuss abortion. The idea is that it drives away the strict FisCons. THEY are making abortion a political issue by doing that. My position is simple. If your political party wants to embrace… Read more »
A historical note:
The current count of people on earth murdered by a sovereign government in the 20th century is well over 100 million.
Planned Parenthood is a business. They go, like any other profit-driven enterprise into the areas where they can access the most customers. If Chinese immigrants all the sudden became hell-bent on having abortions at the rate African-Americans do, I am sure we would see their facilities popping up in Chinatowns all over America. It does not, however, diminish the fact… Read more »
Our fiscal problems very much are political. So why not focus our commonalities on something we can do something about, at least politically speaking? A perfect example: The $7.5-million cut in funding is part of Christie’s wide-ranging austerity program for cash-strapped New Jersey. Although the governor is pro-life, both his aides and senate Republicans were quick to emphasize that this… Read more »

One guy is doing what he can to stop the slaughter: TRENTON, N.J. — New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie’s veto of a bill that included funding for Planned Parenthood has withstood a challenge from Democrats in the state senate. The veto deprived the state’s leading abortion provider of money that is essential to its continued operation. The $7.5-million cut in… Read more »
#12 Dude
For your consideration.
#18 tedtam
Thanks.
I hope I was clear above. The scenario in your comment is exactly what I was talking about.
I’d say this came pretty dang close to demonstrable.
Discounting the mindless chattering of FauxFisCons, I think several are digging too deep into my motives. Because I think that protecting the life of unborn humans is so fundamental, the fact that we would even have to discuss the pros and cons of abortion is just completely bizarre to me. Would we ever think that the Republican party’s “big tent”… Read more »
#11 Wagonburner Here is a good examination of the “life of the mother” argument. If the progression of the cancer will not allow for that option, and the mother needs surgery immediately if she is going to live, you, as her doctor, have only two choices: You can allow both patients to die or you can save one and lose… Read more »
Focus on the lack of a strong nuclear family would be a great starting point. Most excellent point. The preacher in the video on my link above made that point as well. “The Greatest Generation” really failed us as a country when they gave us the baby boomers with their “anything goes” ethos. When many of the BBs went hippie… Read more »
Several here have commented on the fact that this is not a purely political issue and that it is a moral issue to be won in the hearts and minds of these young mothers along with society as a whole. Abortion in the black community is yet another example of the odd juxtaposition of the appearance of piousness and actions… Read more »
Thanks for being civil (as usual).
We’ll have to agree to disagree on this one.
PP’s founder was a leading eugenicist, who advocated specifically for the elimination of “undesirables”. Over 70% of PP’s facilities are in black neighborhoods. Your statement that they may not specifically target black babies, but it appears it may work out that way is why I called it a de facto genocide. It doesn’t matter if the mothers are willing participants… Read more »
#9 WB, It’s a stretch because: 1. there is no demonstrable evidence that PP specifically targets black babies for abortion – it might work out that way due to more black mothers making the choice to abort, but that is a far cry from showing that intent on the part of PP 2. EVERY baby that is aborted is killed… Read more »
#8 dood By not voting for a pro-abort candidate, I will not be supporting further weakening of the already weak laws allowing abortion. That does not in any way alter the fact that abortion is a truly moral topic. “Fully pro-life” to me means no abortion, period, ever. The only possible exception might be if the actual life of the… Read more »
I still cannot comprehend any logic that concludes that it is OK to kill innocent babies in the womb, or, in the case of our Commander in Chief to allow them to die outside the womb if that is what the mother intended; but who fight, lie, cheat, make up stories, and whatever else they might dream up to deny… Read more »
#3 dood It’s not genocide by anyone other than the mothers who are making the decision to abort their babies. Planned Parenthood (as much as I despise them) isn’t performing abortions without the consent of the mothers. To say that abortion is de facto genocide is, to be charitable, a major logical stretch. Why is it a stretch? PP and… Read more »
In the same comment: …the simple fact is that abortion is a hearts & minds issue that will never be resolved politically. and I will never vote for a pro abortion candidate. Anything less than fully pro-life, I would need to talk to my priest about. WB, do you really not see the logical inconsistency in that? And how do… Read more »
I’m actually torn on that a bit, hammie. While I’m at least as opposed to abortion as you are, the simple fact is that abortion is a hearts & minds issue that will never be resolved politically. What needs to happen is better education of pregnant women who are planning or contemplating abortions. I thought Dan Patrick’s (IIRC) bill last… Read more »
I think this is completely baseless, illogical, and irrational.
It’s a litmus test for you and many other social conservatives, but it’s the fault of libertarian/fi-cons?
Nonsense.
While I agree that politicians indeed use the issue as leverage, on both the left and right, for me it has absolutely nothing to do with politics. It is not the politics of abortion that make it wrong. Speaking only for me, I not only respect your position that it’s not a political problem, I agree with it. So that… Read more »
I’ve recently had some discussions with friends about this genocide. The common refrain from many is that abortion is nothing more than a “political football”. While I agree that politicians indeed use the issue as leverage, on both the left and right, for me it has absolutely nothing to do with politics. It is not the politics of abortion that… Read more »

It’s not genocide if it’s blessed by the “right” (I mean LEFT) people.
Shhhhh. Don’t tell them what the Dem’s plans for keeping them on the plantation and their population under control are. You might disrupt their election strategies. You can see what happens when they stray from the fold like Clarence Thomas, and that’s a threat that has to be dealt with. Obama’s health care plan just adds everyone over 65 to… Read more »
