The state Capitol hasn't experienced a major confrontation over abortion in five years. That's about to change. And this time, passions will be stoked even higher by the volatile issue of race.
Last month, dozens of billboards went up in African-American communities across metro Atlanta. On them, a toddler's face appeared with this stark message: "Black children are an endangered species."
The operating theory espoused by the billboard sponsors: Abortion clinics have targeted black women for the sake of both profit and eugenics. Catherine Davis, director of minority outreach for Georgia Right to Life, points to a lack of abortion clinics in Atlanta's suburbs.
"If it is not a deliberate attempt to control the birthrate of the African-American community, then in my mind, you'd have at least one clinic in a non-urban area," said Davis, who is African-American.
The February billboards were followed by legislation. As currently drafted, HB 1155 would make it a 10-year felony for a physician to perform an abortion if a patient discloses that she seeks the procedure because of objections to the race or gender of the fetus.

It's so sad to read the post that following this article. My people are so angry with Republicans that the life of the unborn black child means little to them. It's so very, very sad. Anger/Hates definitely has a domino effect. God, help us, please.
Wow! I can just imagine how happy we are making the Klu Klux Klan's and all the "Hitler's" of the world who'd like to do away with certain races of people. Just think...we're actually doing away with ourselves. I pray God helps us to see the truth. We are so blind to what is really going on. So blind to the works of Satan who makes good seem evil, and evil good. It's his job, you know?
Black babies are being aborted, and what do we (blacks) do: Cheer the abortionists on. Why? If the Republicans are against it, we can't be. It's called PRIDE.
It wasn't a good thing to do back then, and it still isn't:
Exodus 1
15 Then the king of Egypt said to the Hebrew midwives, one of whom was named Shiphrah and the other Puah,
16 “When you serve as midwife to the Hebrew women and see them on the birthstool, if it is a son, you shall kill him...

WASHINGTON, DC, March 12, 2010 (LifeSiteNews.com) - Democrats explaining their stubbornness to maintain the abortion funding in the Senate health care bill have admitted that a primary motivation for doing so lies in encouraging more abortions, lest more children born put a strain on government funds, said Rep. Bart Stupak (D-Mich.) as reported by National Review Online
So very sad...So which race is being aborted in record numbers? Guess.
