Why do black Americans vote Democratic when the democratic pro-choice philosophy has resulted in countless black babies being aborted. One black politican, E. W. Jackson, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Virginia stated: “Planned Parenthood has been far more lethal to black lives than the KKK ever was.” The following was reported by Kelsey Hazzard of LifeNews.com.
Democratic activists are going nuts over statements by E. W. Jackson, the Republican candidate for lieutenant governor of Virginia. The quote all the news pieces are highlighting: “Planned Parenthood has been far more lethal to black lives than the KKK ever was.”
Reporters are treating this as an unimaginable gaffe. Their theme is that, by picking a candidate who would say such a thing, the GOP has proven that it hasn’t learned anything from its poor performance in recent elections. I won’t comment on whether or not the GOP has learned anything; only time will tell. My gripe with this news coverage is that none of the reporters bothered to point out that what Jackson said about Planned Parenthood is factually accurate.
In 2011, the last year for which figures are available, Planned Parenthood performed 333,964 abortions in the United States. Nationally, 37% of abortions are performed on black women, according to the pro-abortion Guttmacher Institute. We can therefore surmise that in one year alone, Planned Parenthood killed approximately 123,567 unborn African-American children.
As for the KKK, estimates vary. The Tuskegee Institute has documented 3,446 lynchings of black Americans between 1882 and 1968. But not all KKK murders were done by lynching, and some lynching incidents were committed by racists independent of the KKK. In any event, the number of blacks killed by the KKK, in its entire history, does not approach 123,567.
To my mind this is another example of "Don't confuse me with the facts because I've got my mind made up!"
Vote conservative to straighten out the U.S.!!!
