Where's the Controversy?

The headline reads "Controversial Ga. billboards link abortion, race".  In the article by Errin Harris of the Associated Press we find that there is a "Too Many Aborted" billboard campaign in Atlanta by Georgia Right to Life.  The campaign is aimed at reducing abortions within the black community.

The article itself exposes Harris' views on abortion.  The group producing the billboards is referred to as "anti-abortion".  Now they are, and on the surface this may seem innocuous, but it is a psychological ploy.  People are naturally suspicious of any group that is "anti" and Harris could have easily referred to Georgia Right to Life as being "pro-life".  One never hears of  those in favor of abortion  being referred to as "anti-life", it is always "pro-choice".

One has to wonder what is controversial about the campaign?  Are people who tell the truth and bring that truth before the public the ones causing controversy or is the controversy caused by those who do not want the truth to be told?

Planned Parenthood of Georgia spokesman Leola Reis says that "The language in the billboard is using messages of fear and shame to target women of color" and then parrots the party line euphemism that the only way to stop abortions is to provide "quality, affordable health care" to women.  This is the same as saying that the only way to stop abortions is to make them widely available.

The PR problem that Planned Parenthood has is that the billboards expose the truth.  Planned Parenthood was founded by the noted racist Margaret Sanger.  Sanger was a promoter of eugenics and abortion to reduce the numbers of what she considered to be inferior races, notably blacks.  Today in this country, black women make up 13% of the population, yet have 35% of the abortions.  The great majority of Planned Parenthood abortion mills are in black neighborhoods.  So the evidence is there that the abortion industry targets blacks.

Imagine the audacity of pro-life blacks opposing a disproportionate killing of their unborn. Where is the controversy in that?
