I'd like to think African Americans are smarter now or at lease look up the information themselves. I was so proud of President Clinton when he stepped forward to apologize to those men who were still alive. Yes President Clinton also honored them and made the rest of their lives wonderful. Like Slavery we did things wrong but we should learn from those mistakes. President Clinton didn't allow the fact that he didn't do it stand in the way he stood up representing American and did the right thing. Today we have yet to hear any leader take responsiblity for the crimes done or the crash of the US Treasury. One of the worse times in our history.

There is no mention of embryos in the New Testament. There is little or no mention of anything like abortion. That's Old Testament stuff. And, if you want to go Old Testament, let's not just pick and choose the most convenient passage. The New stuff is all about not judging unless your own house is in order. And, the bible clearly states God's opinion as to where life begins - it's in Genesis, remember? Adam takes the first breath and is alive. There is no sign that Adam was "alive" before God allows his first breath. I wouldn’t mind religious fanatics nearly as much if they would just pay a little more attention to their own dogma.
