Michelle, I explicitly stated, quote, "I am not saying that the intent is racist", yet your response says that I claim it is. I am saying that the consequences of the liberal agenda is a decrease in the quality of life for minorities.

Margaret Sanger was a leader in the intellectual movement that trumpeted eugenics and racialist theories as hard science. She also founded Planned Parenthood.

Imo my birth should have never come to term, it was cruel and a sexist policy imposed on the woman involved. Oh Michelle, haven't you ever seen "It's a beautiful life"? [suspend sarcasm] I'm willing to bet the world is at least a slightly better place for your having been here. [resume sarcasm]

<<Forcing a girl to go away for a year and give birth >> What backwater place do you live? Geez, I was in high school in the 60s and girls carried to full term and gave the babies up for adoption or married the fathers after graduation. Ok, they had a study hall instead of P.E. but that wasn't the end of the world.

>>Abortion is a medical necessity for women of all classes and ethnicities, a way to deal with unwanted teenage pregnancies that destroy lives of countless women, in a sensitive and kind manner.<< How you can mix "sensitive," "kind," and "abortion" in the same sentence is beyond me. >> Forcing a girl to go away for a year and give birth is not sensitive and kind, especially when no medical procedure is forced upon the real cause of the teenage pregnancy problem - which are teenage males.<< One thing you will never be able to argue away is sexual choice - women are the ones making it. The fault is of promiscuous girls, not boys. If the girls would quit spreading their legs so easily they would not be getting pregnant. Again, women are the ones who decide to have sex. Outside of rape - which is another can of worms - women are the ones who make that fateful sexual choice. >> The best thing you can do for the future of young women is to offer them a choice and control over their own bodies - this is not racist, by any means. << If they would control their own bodies by not having sex intercourse, maybe that would be a good start. As for the racism, I think that if you look into the philosophical origins of Planned Parenthood you might just be appalled at what they were/are trying to accomplish. FWIW Andy
