Here goes...
All this hubbub about blackface is just to cover up the real abortion agenda.
Consider the timing. Shortly after 2 bills justifying infanticide come to light (one passed, the other didn't..yet) and the Governor of VA comes right out and admits what abortion actually is, the murder of a baby, scandalous pictures of him some 30 yrs ago suddenly surface and the media and social networks go completely crazy. Looks awfully fishy to me.
So now the debate becomes: which is worse? Racism or abortion?
According to the media, social networking sites, college professors and young people, nothing on earth could ever, EVER be worse than racism.
Now, I AM NOT justifying racism, blackface or dressing up in a KKK costume. Racism is one of the worst things that man ever came up with. It goes back to the creation of man. Jews have been marginalized for their entire existence. People will always find a way to hate other people but hating someone for their skin color or heritage is just plain evil. I've been accused of being a racist (and a sexist, homophobe, transphobe, blah, blah blah). There's obviously no way to prove that I am. I just disagreed with someone's opinion on an issue which is reason enough to call me names, I suppose. Racism has been redefined to mean anything you want it to mean. It is an issue with the heart and mind just like any other kind of hatred. It's wrong. Nothing will ever change that.
However, we now have at least 3 generations who have grown up in a world where abortion is just accepted law. We've been boiled like the proverbial frog. At first, it was supposed to be safe, legal and rare. No one even discussed 3rd trimester or even 2nd-trimester abortions.
Fast forward a few years. Now second-trimester abortions are as widely accepted as 1st. This, despite sonogram technology, proving that it is actually a person in there. Where are we now? Babies as young as 20 wks can be saved. In utero surgery is possible. 4D sonograms are commonly done. Obviously, that's a baby. But "Shout your abortion" is also happening. Women who wish they could have one (See Lena Dunham) also exist.
Why am I tying these issues together? Because you are being lied to by the media.
Obviously, real racism has no place in our society. I'm not talking about telling jokes or banter between friends. I'm talking about the real heart and mind problem. At times in our history as a country and other countries, racism has been used to murder. But it rarely happens in the US anymore. Yes, I know there are examples so you don't need to point that out.
Now, let's contrast that with the number of abortions in just one day in the US.
"In the USA, where nearly half of pregnancies are unintended and four in 10 of these are terminated by abortion [1] , there are over 3,000 abortions per day. Twenty-two percent of all pregnancies in the USA (excluding miscarriages) end in abortion."[2]" http://www.worldometers.info/abortions/
Also because someone will ask or comment -
According the the CDC:
- About 15,000 abortions are attributed to rape and incest — representing 1.5 percent of all abortions.
There's really no comparison.
No one, NO ONE, wants to talk about abortion. Why? Because deep down, we all know it's wrong. We all know that it's not a 'woman's right to choose' or 'her body'. It makes us all uncomfortable and is therefore hard to discuss. So, the media has generated a discussion about racism so we don't have to. We all agree that racism is wrong. It causes outrage and stirs up emotions and rightfully so. As far as they're concerned, racism is sexy. It gets 'views' and 'clicks'. Abortion is not sexy. They know it's wrong but we don't want to have that discussion. Not now, not ever. If it comes up, please change the subject as soon as humanly possible.
As evil as the NY abortion bill and the proposed VA bill are, they threw the spotlight on it. They revealed what's really going on in abortion clinics. The cat's out of the bag, Y'all. We can all continue to pretend we don't know but hiding won't work anymore.
Sidenote - I never said girls who seek out abortions are evil. I spent some time counseling girls in a crisis pregnancy center. Some wanted the baby, some needed options, some were determined to go through with the abortion no matter what I said or did. I loved them all. If a girl is seeking an abortion, she's obviously in a desperate place. I don't hate anyone who has gone through it. If you've been there, I'm here for you, judgment-free. But if you find yourself there again, please consider other options. There are so many!
If you are a racist these days, you're just an idiot. If you attack someone either verbally or physically because of their race, you are ignorant and evil. There's no excuse for it.
But please, I'm begging you, don't let social network sites and the media shift the discussion we should all be having. Don't let them dictate what's important. We need to talk about abortion. We need to, in light of all the current technology and knowledge we've accumulated since it was legalized, talk about what we are doing to ourselves as a nation by continuing this practice in the US.
We need to talk.
