Uh, no.
No one is claiming that “they” want to exterminate the children of stable, married, middle-class suburban black couples.
The billboards were placed in the inner city area of large Southern cities, where the illegitimacy/abortion rate for poor, single blacks is high. That is the audience for the message.
Your post was without context. If you do not wish to be “Modded,” then don’t throw out one-liners that are clearly insulting without any context for them.
If you have more issues, take it to ATMB.

I don’t dispute that you’re correct about the audience. But again, none of that appears in the linked article.
If you know it’s true, cite it. I’d like our side to be able to jump on them for uncited assertions. That’s why it behooves our side to not put uncited assertions out there our own selves.
“our side”?? 
Sorry, you’ve been drafted. Your uniform will arrive shortly in the mail.
How does abortion being legal make black children an endangered species? No woman is forced to get an abortion. Just because something is available doesn’t mean you have to partake of it.
Herman Cain has really nice teeth.
So according to this article, fewer than 1/10ths of abortion clinics are in black neighborhoods…but from what I’ve heard in college, minority women make up about 1/3 of the clients.
Oh, yes. It’s a beautiful brown, with epaulettes!
No, but there was a time in America where “eugenics” was a serious cause sometimes put into practice, and, to many (not all) eugenicists, “eugenics” meant “discourage negroes from breeding,” among other things.
However, as for Margaret Sanger, whom Cain was talking about:
Nice joke, but check the forum name. A debate point would be nice, if you have one.
Can we all agree, at least, on the obvious fact that Cain’s remarks in the story in the OP make him look like an idiot a whole lot more than they make any pro-choicers or birth-control pushers look like bad guys?
BrainGlutton, I realize bad things have happened in the past. That has absolutely nada to do with women being able to have the choice of bearing a child or not now. If I am not mistaken, eugenics involved rendering women sterile, not terminating a pregnancy.
Back off, man. There’s always room for bipartisan humor.
Agreed. But I don’t think Cain is quite alone in imagining (or pretending to imagine) that there’s still a racial agenda, today, behind organizations like Planned Parenthood.
She was also pro-eugenics – what’s your point?
I’ll give you credit for the “(pretending to imagine)”.
I do not understand how an organization that tries to give women control over their fertility can be condenmed. I could say much the same thing about the (white, male) doctors who refused to let me (white, female) get my tubes tied.
Maragret Sanger was against blacks having more babies, not because they were black, but because of the horrendous conditions they were forced to live in. She favored contraception, which was illegal at the time.
The anti-abortion people I talk to today still bring up how “black women get the most abortions.” Maybe at Planned Parenthood, but I betcha white women get just as many at their local OB/GYN.
Have I confused you for someone who does not want a Republican to be elected President?
He earned himself not one, not two, not even three, but four* Pinocchios.
*on a scale of one to four
Well, if they’re an endangered species, I guess we need to find a preserve for them.
No other good use is currently being made of Orange County, California . . .
