Anti-abortion fliers spark campus outrage
CBS ^ | March 21, 2011

Posted on 03/22/2011 11:50:20 AM PDT by La Lydia

PRINCETON, N.J. -- It has become the talk among African American students at the prestigious Princeton Theological Seminary -- racially charged fliers and postings. All of it is apparently anti-abortion literature. Among the fliers was one that displayed a noose and another with the words "in the new klan lynching is for amateurs."...

"There was a lot of devastation for me, psychological damage, injury, because I saw this as social bullying," student Shirley Thomas said...

The fliers originate from various sources, pointing out the number of African American deaths by abortion. Student Katherine Timpte called the fliers "appalling and tragic and upsetting at all levels."

Another student, Alex Turpin, said he thought whoever was distributing the literature had a "right to voice their opinions," adding "personally, I wouldn't have done it in that way."

A statement from the seminary said it "does not tolerate racial discrimination" and "has policies that both protect freedom of speech and preclude racial harassment of any kind."

On Wednesday, students at the seminary will hold a forum to discuss the images.

"People need to understand that racism is not dead," Thomas said.

These people, AND the school itself, a theological seminary, think this is about racism, not abortion. I am just amazed and appalled.

It is about racism—as practiced by the abortion industry.

“People need to understand that racism is not dead,” Thomas said.

...no, and I’m sure “Thomas” and others like her will see to that! It’s a fact that 40% of blacks abort their babies nationwide. 60% in NY! Just a fact. Nothing really.

Princeton Theological Seminary has been an ultra-liberal neo-Christian institution for a long time now. At least since all the true Christian faculty there broke away and started Westminster Theological Seminary about 70 years ago.

It’s now racist to protect the unborn even as black babies are on the top of the list for extermination. College kids are so indoctrinated it’s beyond sad.

You couldn’t possibly be blinder than these people! They refuse to see the truth and admit that yes, they should be appalled. Appalled that these fliers are correct!

Including or excluding the womb?

How about some FACTS.

“In America today, almost as many African-American children
are aborted as are born.

A black baby is three times more likely to be
murdered in the womb than a white baby.

Since 1973, abortion has reduced the black population by over 25 percent.

Twice as many African-Americans have died from abortion than have died from AIDS, accidents, violent crimes, cancer, and heart disease combined.

Every three days, more African-Americans are killed by abortion than have been killed by the Ku Klux Klan in its entire history.

Planned Parenthood operates the nation's largest chain of abortion clinics and almost 80 percent of its facilities are located in minority neighborhoods.

About 13 percent of American women are black, but they
submit to over 35 percent of the abortions.”

and much much more info

It's racist alright. The white Liberal / Progressive elites
are killing off as many Black babies as they can in the name of “family planning”.

They are terrified that Planned Parenthood, a major player in Democratic politics, might think they had anything to do with this. How do they get jobs if the “right” people think they are “wrong” on the issue of abortion. Abortion has became a major shibboleth of liberalism.

And yet, I once picketed an abortion clinic in a black neighborhood in Oakland, CA with a sign that said

"No abortion, no war/ Stop the rich from killing the poor"

and I got a steady stream of "right on, right on!" from everybody that passed by.

Well, of course.

Good summation.

ALL: Look up Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, and her ties to the eugenics movement...Havelock Ellis...and the like.

Motto was "More from the fit & less from the unfit." And then all the stereotypical negative comments about "stock" from parts of Europe.

See Planned Parenthood’s anti-immigration, population control eugenics supporters:

In 1939, Planned Parenthood Founder, Margaret Sanger , and member of the American Eugenics Society, began The Negro Project. The Negro Project was but a precursor to what eugenicists wanted to implement on a much larger scale, by convincing leaders in the African American Community to support Planned Parenthood under the guise of “helping the black man.”

“The main objectives of the [proposed] Population Congress is to…apply a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted, or whose inheritance is such that objectionable traits may be transmitted to offspring.”
– Margaret Sanger, “Plan for Peace”, 1932 Senate hearings

Read what Planned Parenthood Founder, Margaret Sanger, wrote in a letter to Pathfinder Founder, Clarence Gamble, “We should hire three or four colored ministers, preferably with social-service backgrounds, and with engaging personalities. The most successful educational approach to the Negro is through a religious appeal. The minister’s work is also important and also he should be trained, perhaps by the Federation [of Eugenicists] as to our ideals and the goal that we hope to reach. We don’t want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Clarence Gamble, mentioned above funded the North Carolina Eugenics Society...Clarence Gamble. Gamble also supported Margaret Sanger’s Birth Control Movement. Sanger and many of her board members and presidents were members of the American Eugenics Society.

The Dems that support Planned Parenthood are racist-eugenicists...they just like to operate under phrases like ZPG (Zero Population Control) & NPG (Negative Population Control) -- and guess what % of the "population" they want to "control" (read socially engineer) is minority?

The Democrats can't wait to get in the world's bedrooms! And whenever they fail there, they resort to butchering the pre-borns!
