Abortion

Ronald Reagan believed in the right to life.  Sean Mahoney, who makes the claim that he came to the Republican Party under Ronald Reagan (before he and his checkbook flirted with the democrat party) has this to say about life on his campaign site.

Sean Mahoney is pro-life and will work to protect the lives of the unborn when he is in Congress. In addition, Sean Mahoney will work to promote healthy, pro-life option to abortion, like adoption. Sean Mahoney believes every human life is sacred and that the federal government has a responsibility to protect those lives.

This seems like a solid enough statement, and Sean seems proud of this position but that’s all he has to say.  So can he back it up in principle?  Principle, if you remember was part of what he claims drove him to abandon his GOP committeeman position a few weeks before announcing his run for Senate–no wait, Governor–no that’s not it, I mean congress.  So can his pro-life claims be backed up on principle?

Guest Post by Karen Testerman…

After reading a recent article in World Magazine about the sentencing of a California abortionist for malpractice who "targeted Spanish-speaking women," the question to ponder…Is Planned Parenthood’s primary interest in the industry financial or is their goal more subversive?

According to Jim Sedlak, vice president of American Life League (ALL). "Their [Planned Parenthood] primary focus used to be the African-American community, but about 10 years ago they began writing in their publications about what they call ‘outreach to the Hispanic community.’

Consider a further fact from the article.  "The Guttmacher Institute, formerly the research arm of Planned Parenthood, reports that in 2004 there were 10.5 abortions per 1,000 non-Hispanic white women ages 15 to 44, compared with 28 per 1,000 Hispanic women in the same age group."  Further the Guttmacher Institute reports that "thirty-seven percent of abortions occur to black women, 34% to non-Hispanic white women, 22% to Hispanic women and 8% to women of other races."

BlackGenocide.org states that "78% of their [Planned Parenthood] clinics are in minority communities."  And that "Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States, but they underwent approximately 36% of the abortions."

Now consider that Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger advocated the development of a superior race" by eliminating religious and ethnic minorities she referred to as "useless breeders." In one of her writings, Pivot of Civilization, Sanger refers to African-Americans, immigrants and poor people as "…human weeds,’ ‘reckless breeders,’ ‘spawning… human beings who never should have been born."
