The Pill's Impact on Minority Communities - YouTube


Blanks are targeted for abortion. Watch the video if you are courageous. If not move to the health section.

Is this just a new idea for an anti-abortion thread? Or to be against birth control?

It's not controversial because anyone with sense in their head recognizes that this is a truly idiotic premise.

So you don't want black people to use birth control pills?? Not understanding the point. I don't have the time to watch a 20 minute video but I watched the first part and it again used the eugenics arguments in regards to Sanger (which was a widely believed "science" in the late 19th and early 20th century). I am also sure she probably mentioned the health risks of birth control pills (hopefully because there are some risks and not enough people are educated about the, ironically I was educated about them in from PP the eugenics place lol!).

But birth control is used by all women, and is used more often by white women than black or hispanics, hence the birthrates of black and hispanics being higher than that of white women.

So I don't get the point of saying "the pill kills blacks" when more whites take it than blacks. I figure this is just another thread by a "conservative" (in quotes because I don't believe that a true conservative would like to deny an individual the right to use birth control, legal contraception, just because they personally don't believe in its use) trying to show some sort of concern for black people. If you are concerned with black people, go out and tutor some black kids or adopt some black babies, a lot of them are in foster care right now waiting for permanent homes.

If blacks are targeted for abortions, then they should avoid getting them.

I don't see the big deal.
