(3) a cluster of 9! clinics between McAllen and Brownsville (most southern tip of TX).

See, they want to kill lots of Mexican babies.

For those who don't know, in the southern extremity of Texas you hear as much Spanish as English -- probably more.

At a pro-abortion meeting that some pro-life activists went undercover at, the pro-abortion folk spoke of using asylum seekers as test cases in Ireland.

Tiffany made a good point about the White women going in to abortuaries. Perhaps white liberals?

Yes, some whites have certainly availed themselves of the services of Planned Parenthood (for abortions, I mean).

But they are a smaller percentage, especially when compared to the total number of whites.

In general, whites tend to be on board with the whole "birth control" thing, and consider abortion to be a back-up, whereas blacks and hispanics are more likely to "neglect" birth control. (I put it in quotes, because birth control isn't exactly a good thing)

Hispanics, because their Roman Catholic heritage frowns on birth control, and they're still working on getting fully modern in that department.

Blacks have their own reasons as well. I think I can guess some of the reasons, but I won't go into it here.

The point is, Planned Parenthood wants to take out as many minority babies as possible. The democrats who protect PP with their very blood need to know that they're supporting eugenics and "racism". Maybe that will make them stop and think.

There is no doubt that "birth control" and use of contraception is widespread in Ireland. There is no outrage about it.

Birth Control.

There's a misnomer if there ever was one.

It involves neither "birth", nor "control".

That reminds me of something Chesterton said (let me paraphrase):
Birth control means no birth and no control.

Quote from: Matto

I think someone will sue and the supreme court will call this new law unconstitutional.

Time for Texas to secede from the union!

I'd be all for it.

I wouldn't mind having to get a passport to visit the Yanks up north...

You know that's popular sentiment here -- a local brewery "Lone Star Beer" has a whole line of advertisements which play off this sentiment:

"Lone Star -- The National Beer of Texas"
"Lone Star: Every other beer is an import."

basically repeating the theme that Texas is its own country.

And we should be!!! YEEEEE-HAW!

 

That's a good thought Matthew and this damned Yankee is with you on this, but, unfortunately you would be crushed like the first time around, this evil arrogant gov't probably would use NATO forces to keep anyone from seceding from the new American Iron Curtain known as the "Union".

I do believe the country will come apart but this movement will be indictive throught the country, no one state or a few will be allowed to go their separate way without and all out assault by the feds. What we need is some type of Egypt-style "Arab Spring" where those that are really oppressed will come together in a common cause and cause for  real Change once and for all.

same here

The pro-life groups basically ignore medical abortions & contraceptives and target surgical abortions here. This is especially true for trying to get the privileges of physicians revoked at Catholic hospitals. At a "pro-life" meeting once they were having a physician who prescribed the birth control pill come and do a presentation about the evils surgical abortion.  :barf:

You also see many with thinking which I think results from the Hyde Amendment. She should have used birth control. Denying abortion is more like a punishment that she should sleep in the bed she made. Very pro-birth control.

For example when 'Boots' Chemist/Pharmacy started to distribute the 'Morning After Pill' 'over the counter' without prescription as far as I am aware none of the pro-life groups did a campaign or if they did, it made no impact.

As for hospitals, with this abortion bill in Ireland, if enacted staff will have to go to prison. Catholic doctors and nurses are banding together and they need prayers and encouragement. There are already support groups but a Catholic guild for doctors or nurses is needed. I mentioned it to a few people.

When I was at university I had a campaign to stop contraception being promoted on the college campus and took on the pro-abortion student unions.

Most of the Irish pro-life groups do not take a position on contraception.

Race/Ethnicity

Among the 29 areas that reported cross-classified race/ethnicity data for 2009 (Table 12), non-Hispanic white women and non-Hispanic black women accounted for the largest percentages of abortions (37.7% and 35.4%, respectively), whereas Hispanic women and non-Hispanic women in the other races category accounted for smaller percentages (20.6% and 6.3%, respectively). Non-Hispanic white women had the lowest abortion rates (8.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratios (140 abortions per 1,000 live births), whereas non-Hispanic black women had the highest abortion rates (32.5 abortions per 1,000 women aged 15–44 years) and ratios (477 abortions per 1,000 live births). Among the 24 areas**** that reported by race/ethnicity every year during 2007–2009, abortion rates decreased for all racial/ethnic groups. The abortion rate decreased 7% for non-Hispanic white women (from 9.1 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 8.5 in 2009) and 6% for Hispanic women (from 20.5 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 19.3 in 2009) but only 1% for non-Hispanic black women (from 34.6 abortions per 1,000 women in 2007 to 34.2 in 2009). In contrast, abortion ratios decreased among non-Hispanic white women but not among women in any other racial/ethnic group. For non-Hispanic white women, the abortion ratio decreased 3% (from 143 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 138 in 2009), whereas the abortion ratio increased 4% for non-Hispanic black women (from 481 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 501 in 2009) and 2% for Hispanic women (from 192 abortions per 1,000 live births in 2007 to 195 in 2009). Data also are reported separately by race and by ethnicity for 2009 (Tables 13 and 15) and for 2000–2009 (Tables 14 and 16).

Not only are blacks targeted in the U.S. but the U.S. government has been targeting blacks and non-whites worldwide. Investigate NSSM 200. http://www.hli.org/kissinger-report/193

Thirteen countries are named in the report as particularly problematic with respect to U.S. security interests: India, Bangladesh, Pakistan, Indonesia, Thailand, the Philippines, Turkey, Nigeria, Egypt, Ethiopia, Mexico, Colombia, and Brazil. These countries are projected to create 47 percent of all world population growth.  

The report advocates the promotion of education and contraception and other population control measures, stating for instance that "No country has reduced its population growth without resorting to abortion".

It also raises the question of whether the U.S. should consider preferential allocation of surplus food supplies to states that are deemed constructive in use of population control measures.

Will this new law punish the women and doctors who seek and perform illegal abortions with prison?

Since abortion is willful premeditated murder, the punishment should be death.
