Rep. Todd Tiahrt suggests Obama’s mother wanted to abort him.
Rep. Todd Tiahrt suggests Obama’s mother wanted to abort him.
Speaking on the House floor yesterday, Rep. Todd Tiahrt (R-KS) argued that low-income mothers of African-Americans — like President Barack Obama and Justice Clarence Thomas — would have aborted their children, if only the government had agreed to pay for it. To audible boos from his House colleagues, Tiahrt stated:
If you think of it in human terms, there is a financial incentive that would be put in place, paid for by tax dollars, that would encourage…single parents, living below the poverty level, to have the opportunity for a free abortion. If you take that scenario and apply it to many of the great minds we have today, who would we have been deprived of? Our President grew up in those similar circumstances. If that financial incentive was in place, is it possible that his mother might have taken advantage of it? Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice, if those circumstances were in place, is it possible that we’d have been denied his great mind?
Watch it:
Setting aside Tiahrt’s questionable decision to list only African-Americans as candidates for retroactive abortion, Tiahrt also makes the misleading claim that “70% of Americans oppose using public funds for abortions.” In reality, current law allows Americans to pay for abortion through their health plans, and a recent poll shows that 71% of the country supports maintaining the status quo by permitting a public plan to cover reproductive services. Nevertheless, many Republicans are pushing a poison pill amendment that would forbid any plan offered within a national health insurance exchange from providing coverage for abortion services.

July 17th, 2009 at 11:05 amCan we get a gag order on men pontificating on abortion, or at least on white men pontification on abortion or at the very least from stupid, white men pontificating on abortion?
July 17th, 2009 at 11:08 amMore overt racism from another REICH wing tool……I think the 1st Amendment is great but to disrespect the POTUS is pretty sad, but then again it`s normal for these cretins to take up racism,hate and bigotry because that`s all these losers from November have and the Audacity of Nope.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:08 amTodd, meet Pat and Zell. What? You three already know each other? Excellent, you should have much to talk about. I’ll just close (and lock) the door and let you wild and crazy guys go at it.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:08 amApparently, Tiahrt is not familiar with “the clothes-hanger method”. It never ceases to amaze me that morons like this guy think that abortion was invented by Roe v. Wade and was never performed nor heard of until physicians started providing it as a safe procedure.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:08 amAside from the fact that Rep. Torn-heart only mentions prominent African-Americans who might have been aborted, he apparently does not know that Obama’s mother was married at the time of his birth.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:09 amsingle parents, living below the poverty level, to have the opportunity for a free abortion. If you take that scenario and apply it to many of the great minds we have today, who would we have been deprived of? Our President grew up in those similar circumstances. If that financial incentive was in place, is it possible that his mother might have taken advantage of it? Clarence Thomas, Supreme Court Justice, if those circumstances were in place, is it possible that we’d have been denied his great mind?
Whoa, hold your horses there, buster!
You’re trying to have it both ways…justify limiting personal rights while lying through your teeth with made up scenarios. NO MOTHER wants to abort a child, dipshit.
If Clarence Thomas is one of our Nation’s great minds, it means the USA is mentally retarded. Thomas can’t BUY an opinion, let alone write one.
You’re not in Kansas anymore, Tiahrt, so STFU.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:10 amSo the problem, according to Tiahrt, is “free” abortion, rather than “single parents, living below the poverty level.” Let me guess, Tiahrt is a loudly self-proclaimed Christian…

July 17th, 2009 at 11:13 amWe wouldn`t be having this conversation if the PRUDISH Reich wing HYPOCRITES would have Planned Parenthood style education about sex……you know S.T.D`s,teen pregnancy and of course the use of condom`s which in this case Tip-hearts parents should have used one,if they only could have known!!!!!!!
July 17th, 2009 at 11:13 amWow. Just wow. Republicans are sure showing their true “color” the last few days…
July 17th, 2009 at 11:14 amGood lord. How soon before a republican just calls outright for a race war?
July 17th, 2009 at 11:17 amI feel that minority vote already gravitating to the GNOP. Oh, and women, too!
At least they can safely say they’ve sewn up that ignorant white racist male vote. Too bad many of those Bubbas are too damn drunk to remember election day.

July 17th, 2009 at 11:18 amI have it on good authority that Rep. Tiahrt’s mom would have aborted him if the government had agreed to pay for it ; his dad is still not speaking to Tiahrt’s mom because she was unwilling to swallow……………
July 17th, 2009 at 11:19 amBrain… hurting. So many… racists (or people genetically missing the “intellectual curiosity” ability) elected to public office.
My family’s church has been picketed by Dr. Phelps’ inbred family, so I know for a fact how Kansas (”Creationism is science, y’all!”) can raise up some pretty hateful people who are willing to share it on the national level.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:20 amThe small sandwich Troll, bitblt, ‘bites’ the dust.
I wonder if bitblt is from Kansas.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:23 amTiahrt should have been a blow job.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:23 amTiahrt is just trying to make a name for himself within his state. He plans on running for Senator Brownback’s position in 2010.
That said, I’m beginning to have some reservations of my own about the public option. Apparently it will cover live births and I have a problem with the idea of southern white racists giving birth to more little southern white racists on my tax dollar!
July 17th, 2009 at 11:24 amSome here have commented on the pure distraction these headlines create; but more specifically, all so-called ‘red-herrings’ may distract citizens from the normal dependence upon credible 1) religious, 2) scientific and, 3) literary works, from local libraries, and schools. Because whatever credible cultural, tradition validates ones’ self-expressions, in local politics, “You can lead a horse to water, but you can’t make ‘em drink!”
July 17th, 2009 at 11:24 amWhat do you expect coming from a Rush apologist?
To bitbl, what about the rural white low income people who get numerous abortions?
July 17th, 2009 at 11:24 amTook the words out of my mouth, LL.
One thing in the Congressman’s tirade that should not be overlooked:
the clip starts out with Rep. Tiahrt saying, “Polling data shows 70% of Americans oppose using public funds for abortions. So regardless of where you’re at on the issue,certainly, those folks — those 70% of Americans need an opportunity for their voice to be heard on the floor of the House.”
I wonder if the good Congressman would extend the same courtesy to the majority of Americans who consistently favor keeping abortion legal?
After all, no matter where you’re at on the issue, those Americans deserve the opportunity to have their voices heard on the floor of the House, right Rep. Tiahrt?
July 17th, 2009 at 11:24 amMan, they sure have gone out of their way this week to show that the repug party is definitely the party you want to be a part of if your racist enough to join up with them. JFC, what is wrong with these people? (sigh, I know)
July 17th, 2009 at 11:25 amDo I get to pick and choose what I want – or don’t want – my tax dollars supporting (such as this tool’s salary)? Do all of us?
July 17th, 2009 at 11:25 amPretty impressive, folks. When I showed up there were only fifteen comments, and bit’s had already been flushed.
That’s gotta be some sort of record.

Or, at least all the racists that live there?

Hey, idiot Tiahrt’s mind is made up. Don’t confuse him with facts.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:34 ambitl was aborted.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:34 amI never thought about it like that. For those of us from larger-population states (at least, more than Kansas), aren’t we technically paying for the salaries of members of the senate (a little OT from the idiot headlining this article) who DON’T represent us? A whole lot of red states’ senators are benefitting from the taxes given by blue states (and Texas, I guess).
Factor in unemployment trends and annual household income numbers and I suppose you could apply that imbalance to members of the House as well. Point of the matter is, if a single tax-dollar of mine goes to pay these morons’ salaries, I should have the right to vote against them in their district. National voting for a regional candidate free-for-all!
July 17th, 2009 at 11:35 amOf course we can’t teach birth control – contrary to what the neoCons say about life beginning at conception, they really believe life begins as soon as you get an urge, and condoms serve to abort conception…
July 17th, 2009 at 11:35 amDid anyone happen to note that Tiahrt represents the district in which Dr. Tiller resided…
Also, Tiahrt was one of those crazy jack-offs at the tea parties here in the Kansas City area awhile back.

July 17th, 2009 at 11:41 amOh, Zimzone, you’re just naive. Don’t you know that for women today, an abortion is like a big-screen TV? They all want them, it’s just that some of them can’t afford one.

July 17th, 2009 at 11:41 amWhere he comes from, if you don’t talk about it – it didn’t happen.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:42 am(single parents, living below the poverty level, to have the opportunity for a free abortion) – what about married women who did not want anymore kids for whatever reason. Someone needs a fact checker, willing to bet that upwards of 75% of those getting abortions are NOT a minority.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:42 amI have already called his office 10 times this morning to protest his remarks and every time I’ve called they refuse to answer my question’s.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:42 amTiahrt was born in Vermillion, South Dakota. He attended and earned a bachelor’s degree from Evangel College and received an M.B.A. from Southwest Missouri State University. He worked for Boeing, where he worked on numerous government contracts, from 1981 until his election to Congress.
And this jackass is spewing shit about low-income African-Americans with that laughable record ?

Reminds me of the Family Guy episode, where the kids have to break into the Bush’s Crawford Ranch…and discover numerous reciepts from Planned Parenthood. Chris’ outcry is “Wow, she’s been scraped more times than a fisherman’s knuckles!”

#37 — You bet our tax money goes to pay for the salaries and other benefits these a*sholes receive. That is the basis for my belief that they work for ALL of us and therefore should take comments or phone calls from ALL of us. If only their constituents tax dollars were used to support these bastards in the fashion to which they have become accustomed, I wouldn’t get so hot about it. But it doesn’t. Therefore they have a constitutional duty to listen to EACH and EVERY one of us.
To the people who have stated “Clarence Thomas and great mind” don’t go together — one of the first thoughts that crossed my mind too.
These idiots don’t want to pay for abortions and they don’t want to pay for birth control which would prevent most abortions. So, pray tell, what are women supposed to do? Just lay down, spread their legs and enjoy it? I don’t THINK so.
Each day I am more and more amazed by just how stupid the Republicons and the Republicrats truly are. It is beyond belief that so many of them are actually considered “highly educated” and have degrees and are considered leaders in our political system. No wonder we’ve gone to hell in a hand basket so quickly.
If I hadn’t seen it happen with my own eyes, I’d have never believed it.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:48 amThis is why having Supreme Court Justices (and Congressmen) with EMPATHY is such an important thing.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:54 amIt’s these same folks that sneer at minority ‘baby factories to get welfare, and seek to eliminate that support.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:54 amAnd what did Ann Coulter call children of single mothers? Strippers in training?
Can Republicans get arrested for indecent exposure (of their true selves)?
July 17th, 2009 at 12:00 pmlvdragonlady, I agree with you 100% correct.
I have a friend who went into the “rural nurses” program along the W. Virginia and Ohio boarders and she tells me that the abortion rate and domestic violence and drug use is higher than some urban areas. She attributed that to the lack of education and funding in rural areas. She also told me that a women had 3 abortions when she already had 5 kids and her husband had threaten to kill her if she had another one. The women ended up getting her tubes tied and her husband beat her to almost a pulp for having this procedure done. She’s in protective custody now with all 5 of her kids.
But Tiahart won’t mention that nor will the GOP.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:02 pmLife begins at conceptions? Hell, for some of these whackjobs, life begins with “The Egg.”
Too bad Tiahrt’s momma missed him with that hanger.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:04 pm“Nevertheless, many Republicans are pushing a poison pill amendment that would forbid any plan offered within a national health insurance exchange from providing coverage for abortion services.”
Even if that amendment were included in the bill, THEY STILL WOULDN’T VOTE FOR IT.

July 17th, 2009 at 12:14 pmYou mean sex with their wives is for procreation purposes only, which may be why so many of them have been caught cheating…they practice sex for pleasure with their mistresses.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:15 pmI’m African American and 62 years old now here’s living history.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:15 pmNow with this teach age we live in it’s harder to lie to the public. I expect this will be written in the History books as anything said or done by President Obama is history. This is a topic most would rather not discuss as the results will make Rep. Tiahrt’s comment embarrassing for many Americans who aren’t minorities. I’m sure Clarence Thomas isn’t happy about the comment from his fellow Republican. But it seems to be the KKK way to toss Republican minorities under the bus when needed. What out Connie Rice could be next on the list. Powell is playing both ends.
I have heard several anti-abortion holy rollers say, whenever pressed on the validity of any abortion, that it is all right to abort a fetus of a mixed-race couple,
July 17th, 2009 at 12:16 pmthat such a birth goes against the teachings of the Bible.
bit is not belittling teens being in love. bit is belittling the idea the sex education is going to override the emotional needs of the people involve. This is important because abstinence at least protects the emotional needs of the people involved.
Why are you talking about yourself in the third person? My cat just hissed and tore out of the room.

I have heard anti-Obama racist slurs from people in a grocery check-out line.

Nonsense.
Perhaps if we actually supported young families instead of condemned them with shaking heads and wagging tongues we would have stronger families.
Perhaps if we offered comprehensive sex education to teens before they became sexually active we would see more teens waiting to have families (and, if studies are to be believed, probably more waiting to have sex.)
Perhaps if we stopped viewing children and the responsibility for them as a punishment for ‘irresponsible sexual behavior’ and instead viewed them as our shared responsibility as a community and a blessing no matter when they are born fewer would turn out as hateful and selfish as Republicans.
That’s what you are supposed to do.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:37 pmIt is interesting to note that so many female right-wing shills have skipped the marriage and motherhood bit.

But you still have not address my issue about “rural people” having high rates of abortion?
July 17th, 2009 at 12:43 pmSo, according to the troll, the punishment for being “sexually irresponsible” is having to give birth, and a life-time caring for another person.
How are financially-strapped folk supposed to do that, exactly? Or single moms? Because conservatives -like our troll- refuse to fund programs that would help them in any form, shape, or way under the banner/excuse of “personal responsibility”.
July 17th, 2009 at 12:44 pmAll I’ve got to say is…

Tiahrt’s questionable decision to list only African-Americans as candidates for retroactive abortion
Todd Tiahrt is another GOP racist relic.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:05 pmThey are a party of the past. They have nothing left to offer America.
Perhaps yes. Perhaps no. Whatever seems being done now doesn’t seem to be working, does it? How about we try the old fashion way.
God wants you to have sex when you get married.
God wants you to have children and take care of them and take them to church.
God says you’re responsible for yourself and your family.
bit thinks this is a plan, no “perhaps” about it. All this is required is belief – faith.
You think “perhaps” is vague yet claim to know what God wants?
That’s quite an ego you got there.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:06 pmShorter bitbutt: I would believe in f ucking goats and eating live babies, if someone wrote it a book called the bible.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:07 pmObserving situation and comdeming those in a situation are different
Observing a situation and taking an active role in a making a situation better are also different. Belac notes that bit prefers to leave a lot to others. Judging to God, responsibility to teens and thinking to everyone else.
Whatever seems being done now doesn’t seem to be working, does it?
Let me set you clear. The ‘old fashioned way’ of waiting until marriage and not teaching anything but abstinence is what is what has been done the last eight years and it precisely what is not working.
Perhaps if we stopped viewing children and the responsibility for them as a punishment for ‘irresponsible sexual behavior’ and instead viewed them as our shared responsibility as a community and a blessing no matter when they are born fewer would turn out as hateful and selfish as Republicans.
One can do this even if the children live with their mother and father.
Precisely. And one can do this even if the children live with their grandparents, or their uncle or aunt, or their mother and mother, or their father and father, or only their mother, or their older brother… etc. etc. etc.
There’s a lot of ways we can support children and their families, I’m glad you recognize that at least.

July 17th, 2009 at 1:24 pmTrue…but it’s kinda like the commercial about AM/PM:
July 17th, 2009 at 1:30 pm
Hey Tiahrt,
You’re an abortion that should’ve happened after your racist tirade on blacks and abortions. You should be ashamed of your racist self. Isn’t it time for you to resign and leave the country you so obviously hate so much? Take trailer park Kansas with you while you’re at it, teabagger.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:35 pmPoor blacks getting abortions??? What about about poor stupid white trash like this racist moron.

shitbit is a big child porn downloader in the name of God. And supports baby killing (in Iraq) in the name of God. Typical Reich Wingnut hypocrite. To him, if they aren’t white, it ain’t right.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:44 pmTalking about the president’s mother. Sheesh.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:47 pmhas anybody clued in this race-baiting arsehole tiahrt that barack obama’s mother is, in fact, white?
July 17th, 2009 at 1:51 pmbitblt,
Your just like the conservatives always avoiding the issues and your first comment that was a total lie and racist in nature. Just like I thought you have no reason’s or logic as to why the abortion rate is high in rural America. Your a fraud.
So stop using God to mask behind your baseless and racist comments dood.
Who’s a famous Republican dood, that racist and bitter outdated Buchanan boy?
July 17th, 2009 at 1:52 pmInteresting the various responses we see from the trolls in the face of this new community ranking system.
Most have had a taste of it and disappeared.
bit seems to revel in the negative attention and, much like GOBshite tried the other day, insist on reposting his crap in the guise of “truth”, imagining that bit is standing up for his version of “truth” in the face of widespread rejection.
Most interesting indeed.
July 17th, 2009 at 1:56 pmRep. Tiahrt,
You have rescinded your membership in the human race. Please relinquish your job and ability to speak by the end of the business day.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:05 pmbitbutt sucks off hobos, jacks off to snuff films, and stuff his pants full of warm macaroni and cheese.
That’s the truth as it was reported to Zooey.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:05 pmWasn’t it the Repignofascist Party that just a few short months ago said if you dissed the president you were being treasonous???
July 17th, 2009 at 2:06 pmHe repeated the truth.
You catapulted propaganda and disguised it as truth, moron. Now prove what you said is right with facts instead of parroted garbage by your hero Rush Limpdick.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:07 pmWow. I read on Tiahrt’s comment yesterday on another blog. The racism and bigotry comments that are coming out of the Republican Party’ mouths speak volumes to why their party is going down in flames. The Repub party are really sad.

What would you expect from unintelligent racist trolls? Belief supercedes fact in shitbit’s world because facts have a liberal bias. That’s why he hates facts and liberals (and blacks). That’s why all the REPUKES have left under their arms are racists, homophobes and bigots and they still can’t figure out why the Republicans are losing ground, losing elections and swiftly becoming irrelevant as each day passes. Before shitbit knows it, he’ll be on the outside looking in. So sad.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:21 pmI think I know whose mother SHOULD have had an abortion.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:29 pmAlmost unbelievable they believe their problem is delivering there message not the message its self the Republican Party is really lost in fantasy land isn’t it

July 17th, 2009 at 2:39 pmHow do you make money off of an abortion if the government pays for it? Wouldn’t they have to pay more than the cost of the abortion in order for a profit margin to exist? There’s no profit margin in something that costs a net $0. And it’s still an inconvenient, messy, often painful, and psychologically troubling procedure to have to undergo. It’s not like having an abortion is fun.
I’d agree with Tiahrt’s general principle that paying women to have abortions is ethically dangerous, particularly since it could amount to a eugenics program preying on the poor, and would likely skew against minorities in short order. So his inability to think of any white people who might have been aborted is OK in that respect. However, no such thing has happened, nor is it under consideration, nor is it a potential consequence of the bill underconsideration. He might as well be complaining about orbital mind control lasers.
July 17th, 2009 at 2:52 pmI know that most people won’t agree with me on this, but I’m going to say it anyway. I find the comments on this blog that have said that this Congressman should have been aborted by his mother to be just as offensive as what this man said.
And it gives the false impression to the people on the right that liberals love aborting fetuses. And it gives them ammunition that propels their cause.
I know that you are trying to be snarky, and I know you are trying to be funny.
The people that I know want women to have choice over their lives by being able to have access to fact-based sexual information, unfettered access to birth control, and the right of self-determination for their lives and those of their families. The most civilized societies empower the women in their societies they don’t repress the choices of the women.
Reducing unwanted pregnancies should be the goal of us all. The way that liberals want to achieve that is by access to birth control and fact-based education, not by telling women lies such as abortion will lead to breast cancer and other such nonsense.
As vile as the comments of this Congressman are, when liberals make similar comments, I think that it is counterproductive.
July 17th, 2009 at 3:02 pmI agree, LibertyLover.
July 17th, 2009 at 3:07 pmThanks, ralph.
I posted it at this risk of sounding like a concern troll…
July 17th, 2009 at 3:14 pmThumbs up, Liberty Lover.
July 17th, 2009 at 3:25 pmI agree that such statements are offensive. He should not have been aborted unless his mother had chosen to abort him. Clearly she did not.
However, racists don’t deserve to live.
So really, he should be aborted NOW. I know it’s a bit late, but better late than never.
July 17th, 2009 at 3:33 pmJust when you think the Republicans have reached a new low, they get even lower.

It’s not “political correctness”. It a matter of class.

Well, you go ahead and fight that fire with fire and all you will end up with is scorched earth.
This has nothing to do with political correctness. My only point was that this is such a hot button issue that being so flippant about such an important women’s health right (that is eroded at every turn) actually diminishes that right. If you truly support a woman’s right to choose, then you must realize that it is a decision that women take seriously and do not enter into without thought.
I live for the day that abortions are safe, legal and rare because women are given the real tools to prevent unwanted pregnancies. I have lived in a time before Roe v. Wade existed and do not want anyone to return to those back alley days.
I like a good snarky comment the same as anyone. If you were not offended by the comments that appear to take lightly a women’s right to choose, fine. I have no quarrel with that and you are free to continue to make thoe comments. I was offended. And it was only my opinion that I was expressing.
Will discussing the right to choose issue with people like bitbit or Tiahrt ever convince them? Not likely. Their fundamentalism is entrenched and predictable and unwavering. But there are reasonable people whose minds might be changed by a civil discussion of the issue. But they will never listen to you if you are shouting at them or being offensive.
July 17th, 2009 at 6:35 pm“But they will never listen to you if you are shouting at them or being offensive.”
I don’t give 2 sh|ts about those asswipes!
They don’t phucking listen anyway.
So YOU are wasting your time with them and wasting your manners everyday!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am asking the NOT shitheads and apologists like you to step up and resist the facists shit that’s happening…
But you are going to be polite…like the DemoRat Party and …well…you will be dead before me….
Oh, I forgot manners beat the sh|t out of the Nazis!!!!!
Phuck that concept!!!!

Almost certainly. But just in case, be sure to take your blood pressure meds.
Oh, I forgot manners beat the sh|t out of the Nazis!!!!!
Not sure what point you are trying to make… but invoking Godwin’s Law so soon in our little discussion? Tsk Tsk.
Now, I’d like to show you that that you have just proved proved my previous point. I am a reasonable person. I like to think I can be persuaded to change my point of view because I have a fairly open mind if you can convince me of your position.
In your last comment you have called me an apologist (please show me where I apologized for anything that this particular congressman has done or said?), have inferred that I am a “sh*thead,” and invoked Godwin’s Law.
Do you think that you have convinced me of anything? Do you think that I am interested in anything more that you have to say on this subject? Or do you think that I will be more inclined to just put you on a personal “ignore” list because of these invectives? Hmmm. I wonder which one I will choose. Pity. Because from time to time, I’ve thought that you have made some interesting points.
We’ll just have to agree to disagree.
Peace.
July 17th, 2009 at 7:47 pmIt didn’t hurt. Toward the later stages of the war, German soldiers surrendered to Americans rather than fight to the death because they knew that Americans treated prisoners of war with decency and humanity, unlike the Russians.

I wholeheartedly agree. We do not have to stoop to the gauche, shrill or name calling to have an intelligent discourse. Repeated posts with name calling serve no purpose and merely reflect the lack of forethought for the post. There are the usual people who post the same sort of comments without any discussion. When I see their posts I just skip right through them. An intelligent comment or a clever witticism gets my attention.

Fully one third ( 1/3 of ~1.2M) of abortions are on preborn of color.
This fact and these: homosexuality, AIDS and 70% of black children born out of wedlock, are the reasons so many black preachers fear the total destruction of the black family.
July 17th, 2009 at 11:04 am
This conclusion: many black preachers fear the total destruction of the black family did not originate with bit, but since bit can’t remember where he read it, let’s assume this concluding remark is bit’s opinion. Bit leaves it to TP readers to decide whether or not black Christian preachers fear the total destruction of the black family because of detrimental sexual behavior.

abortion rate is high in rural America.
What do you have to substantiate this claim?
bit did note while finding this information
http://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/ss5212a1.htm#tab9
Table 9 The percent of abortions performed on black preborn is 35.1% or all abortions.
that about 50% of the abortions in Alabama are to black women.
Do you think that stat contributes to your assertion that
“abortion rate is high in rural America.”
bit looks forward to reading your clarification.
BTW, your, “Your a fraud,” should be “You’re a fraud.”
