I thought this was quite interesting. I don't necessarily agree with all of what these people say but I thought their viewpoints were interesting. This is the first part of 13 parts (the rest is on youtube) but I have never before considered birth control and abortion from a racist aspect. I would like to hear thoughts and opinions on this:
Oh, and one of the videos shows a very offensive "advertisement" that was made for teens. They give fair warning before showing it though. It was really offensive.

I watched this about 2 years ago. It is interesting.
Eugenics is something that has been advocated by many people in power, although you will never hear them say so.
Yeah, it never occurred to me that they would put abortion clinics in minority areas to get rid of black people but the way they said it in the videos, it made a certain amount of sense. That said, I don't think the people who work at planned parenthood are all racists though.

From some of the websites about this subject that I looked at, they report that most of the people in PP are compartmentalized. They just do the job they were hired for and know nothing about eugenics. Most of them have the same beliefs....like women should have a choice about what to do with their bodies. Lots of propaganda is involved when counseling a woman who is quite vulnerable in early pregnancy.

Is this a subject you have heard about or know about? What are your thoughts on it if you have heard of it? I am curious since you are part of the black community.

Yeah, I think they are just "doing their job".

I've heard a bit of this in the past. I was just saying that it has been a long and tiring day and I did not want to end it on the slavery note . I think, for obvious reasons, that is a subject that is particularly troubling for me.

Sure, I can see why. I hope you will comment when you are rested up.
