[The Old Hoosier]

In a committee markup last week, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said that residents of the District of Columbia have a disproportionately large number of abortions because D.C. is disproportionately African-American.

In our nation's capital, 41 percent of all pregnancies end in abortion...

Isn’t this what the left wants? Including SCJ Ruth Buzzie Ginsberg?

[cripplecreek]

Just the “undesireables” justice Ginsburg wants gone.

[Blood of Tyrants]

DC may rank highest, but nation wide over 1/3 of all pregnancies among black women end in abortion.

....said that residents of the District of Columbia have a disproportionately large number of abortions because D.C. is disproportionately African-American.

Well whose fault is that?? Bush and Palin is suppose. If blacks choose to live in DC and have abortions, that is their problem. Go soak your head, Turbin Durbin.

nation wide over 1/3 of all pregnancies among black women end in abortion.

And somewhere deep in the bowels of Hell Margaret Sanger manages a brief smile...

[bigbob]

Ain’t this racist? Or is it only racist if a Conservative says it?

[cranked]

Only if a conservative or Repub says it...

[rightwingintelligentsia]

because D.C. is disproportionately African-American

I don't understand: does Durbin think that there are too many African-Americans in DC?

[Kenton]

Somewhere in Hell, Margaret Sanger cackles “It’s WORKING!”

[jakerobins]

Yet the “good” people of Illinois keep sending these useless bums to Washington DC........I wish people would listen to what idiot Dems say as closely as they do Republican officials.....

[Boiling Pots]

So, is this a good thing, or a bad thing?

[mockingbyrd]

In our nation’s capital, 41 percent of all pregnancies end in abortion...”

Holy Crickey!!!! 41%?????

[twigs]

Just for the information, where does Durbin stand on life?

[Def Conservative]

Wow! Couple this with Ginsberg...where is SHARPTON?

[visualops]

What does he mean by disproportionately black? Is there some sort of ideal proportions of different colors of people that D.C. has screwed up?

[chadwimc]

This is terrible! The next obammy could have already been aborted!No, wait...
