I think you are stretching here Doc, but who knows, you may be right. It may also be a case of services are located closest to areas of high demand.Doc wrote:
There are several ways that Black women could be targeted to have abortions. One is by marketing. Planned Parenthood apparently from what I have seen pays black ministers to push their message. Also I have seen the claim that abortions clinics are more common close to areas where more black folks live. I have looked at the maps and just from my impression of them without going into a lengthy dataset gathering analysis I think it is true. It is certainly true that there are many more abortion clinics in cities with large black populations. In other areas of high black populations like the south east abortions clinics in more rural settings seem to be pretty regularly distributed in the South East states and through the Atlantic states. However there are not many in Louisiana and Mississippi.
It seems that politicians will always try to achieve an economy of scale by campaigning to people as demographic herds. I think that is why they really suck as problem solvers.Doc wrote:
Both of the above possible reason points to the social/"racial" pimps being the culprits. Make no mistake that at this time there is a battle going on for the hearts and minds of Black
folks going on in this country. Many are starting to question who really has their interests at heart.
If Fred CHOOSES a self-identify as a member of a demographic herd, rather than as his own person, in charge of his own destiny........ well, it is really kinda tough to talk to that person about much of anything....... When Fred buys into what they are selling, rather than thinking for himself, he is "not reaping" what he has "refused to sow."
Poor Fred, maybe when he hits his pain threshold, he'll think differently.
