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.

Or maybe just hand them a flier with the facts on them and not use some type of racially controversial tactic. It is about saving a babies life not about shock and awe.

Perhaps the way to drive the point home is to get an expendable Congressman to introduce a bill to outlaw “white abortions” only. /s

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I’ve been thinking over your idea. I think it’s great. No sarc tag necessary. Just let some junior congress-critter submit such a bill and watch the liberal heads explode.

I love it.

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

Blacks do not understand that the most dangerous place for any Black to be is in the mother's womb.

More Blacks die in abortuaries EVERY DAY than have died in all of the race-related crimes since the end of the Civil War.

The statistics in this chart are old (the numbers are now much worse):

I see that the students at the “prestigious” Princeton Theological Seminary have their leftist talking points down pat. The comments by these students about their “feelings” on this issue, and about the speech rights of others, are appalling.

Their slant on the issue is programmed propaganda, and that they have been brainwashed to take such an irrational stand is disgusting.

We’re in deep [unladylike word] gang, and we must reverse this trend by cleaning out the schools, or all will be lost to a generation of know-nothing, willingly enslaved, marxist idiots like these students.

Well, the abortion racket really is a filthy dirty trick on the black people of America no matter how you slice it. A dirty trick against which the Klan and its ilk, lynch law and all, look like mere gnats. White people long ago stopped holding black people in scorn because they were black. Now black people scorn their intended place along with all other people as God’s handiwork by living so loose that it would put a chimpanzee to shame.

The imagery of the Klan is extreme, but the point being made is accurate and dead serious.

So, instead of replying to the points I made you decided to pick two words? No I do not have a problem with that. Do I think it works? Not sure. Seems to turn more people off to Pro Life activists.

If you can’t see the difference in driving around in those trucks and handing a random black person something with a Klansman on it then I guess we have to agree to disagree.

The wording is a bit too cutesy: Abortion is an ObamaNation if I read that first truck correctly.

The Klansman should go in the pamphlet if not “on” the pamphlet, if it gets more folks to read it. But even this brouhaha should get people to wake up their lazy brain cells and think in more than cliches.

I knew that would be a hard one to wrap one's head around. I was thinking an old rep ready to retire who could handle the reputation for the rest of his years. But maybe a jr. rep could pull it off then just lay low for a while.

There are two ways he (she?) could play it. The hardcore openly hostile track. "We must preserve the white race. There's no need to force more of them on society when they clearly don't want to be here."

Or the naive trying-to-be-compassionate path. "We can't force our values on a community that depends on this relief from socio-economic pressures. Until we truly level the playing field for the lesser among us we can't take away their right to lessen their burdens."

Terribly cynical, I know, but it would leave the left and blacks in particular gasping for air trying process it and respond.

You know who could pull this off?

Ann Coulter.

She doesn’t even have to run for Congress. She could just flat out state that Abortion is a black “thang” and that it should be illegal for whites.

Heck, half the time no one knows whether to take Ann seriously or not. This could be yet another epic “throw gasoline on the fire” type of issue for her.

Yep, good point. She could sell it and she already has lefties heads ready to explode before she even opens her mouth. Served up with a killer smile!

My understanding is that Sanger got the black clergy aboard during WWII, the pitch being that fewer children means more family wealth. They didn’t see the down side, which is fewer real familes and a lot of black(and white) guys who can have the conveniences of marriage without the commitment. The other day, an 8th grader in my wife’ school hung himself. Split family. People get in a huff and bail out, and leave children behind like the pieces of cars in a wreck.

Planned Parenthood was started by Margaret Sanger, a eugenicist that gave Hitler many of his ideas. It is not about a woman’s right to chose its about killing off the black race. These Marxist dig bats do not see the real problem, abortion of children they want to call it racism. Ironically the racism is on the abortion side, but they are ideologies and refuse to see it.

So much suffering there. Disintegrated sex (not connected to life, love, and the Lord) —> Disintegrated families —> disintegrated lives.

Read the kid’s obits, Four siblings, mom is living with boy friend. Dad is remarried. At the school the counselors are out in droves, but the real scoop evades these amateur psychologists. They have no access to the real home situation. So they seldom know anything about the kid, probably didn’t know this one at all.

All part of Margaret Sanger’s greater plan—whom Mrs. Clinton admires—to get rid of “undesireables”. Just “good” planning.
