Black lives matter... except when they don't?

Yep, that's about the size of it. "My mind is made up, don't confuse me with FACTS."

 

[CavLancer]

Seems we have a lot in common.

 

[Valka D'Ur]

In what way?

 

[CavLancer]

This thread is full of facts...

 

[Valka D'Ur]

^ Here are some of them:

You do realize that Planned Parenthood isn't only about abortions, right? They help women and girls with birth control, cancer screening, and various other women's health issues.

I'm not going to bother with that overly long video if part of it is just yakking about red/white wine and parts of it gets blocked by the guy's arm.

 

[CavLancer]

Perfect reply!

Right back at you.

The OP is trying to make what point, exactly?

That, because the police only shoot 1,000 black people while black women have 29,000 abortions in NYC every year, it's really OK for the police to shoot 1,000 black people? Since, presumably, anyone in their right mind would be jumping up and down at the number of abortions while keeping quiet about the 1,000 police shootings.

Alot of pro-life people seem to care about black people, until they exit the womb that is, then they're evil parasites or thugs.

Mods please change thread title to "black lives don't matter, unless in the context of abortion" plz

 

[Borachio]

Doesn't that line continue: until they're of draftable age when they suddenly become patriots?

 

[Valka D'Ur]

Right back at you.

You already did one equivalent of this, which is not going to convince me that your position has merit.

But since you brought it up, how do people feel about the girl who did not comply with being told to put out her cigarette when pulled over for a routine traffic stop, got beaten for it, then jailed, and three days later mysteriously died there?

That doesn't matter at all when you consider that Planned Parenthood is "harvesting" stem cells so people like Chris Reeves can eat them.


Link to video.

 

[CavLancer]

Okay, do I want to watch that video? This is going to give me nightmares already.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Because someone making a rational appeal to further science for the betterment of all of humanity is just scary?

Because all lives matters so much...

 

[Commodore]

Why is there zero media outrage about this? I thought black lives mattered?.

I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say it's because abortions are voluntary and initiated by the pregnant woman, not the clinics that perform them. Unless you have data that shows minorities are being rounded up and forced to abort their babies, then there is absolutely zero cause for outrage.

I want this post answered.

Since you are likely to not get a response, let me explain what is meant by this sheer nonsense because it comes up so frequently in this forum.

They claim that Planned Parenthood is advocating eugenics against black women because they feel they shouldn't procreate. That so-called liberals are the ones who actually characterize poor black women as "welfare moms" instead of themselves. That they are the real racists, even though they don't use such obvious dog whistles like so many conservatives do. So to fulfill this secret agenda, they have set up this elaborate guise to murder black fetuses.

WHAT???!

This is just so much BS. The video says nothing of the kind. It's just an appeal to allow research into reproductive cloning. As for the Larry King animation, that's obscene. You know that's not what the researchers are doing.

How terrible that Christopher Reeve's medical condition and plea for scientific research to be allowed might give you a nightmare.

Indeed.

And we could see how many people wanted to respond to Ebola with closed borders instead of donating to MSF.

 

[Formaldehyde]

Indeed. Black lives didn't seem to matter at all to many paranoid people then.

Or you could look back on the 80s when Reagan condemned millions to death from AIDs because many of his advisors literally thought their god was getting even with homosexuals.
