All who may have heard about this Ad in Manhattan may have been as shocked & angry about it as I was. The ad reads “The most dangerous place for an African American is in the womb,” The initial impression it made was one of disbelief & has undertones of racism & prejudice. Its only natural to feel like some one or some group is targeting African Americans & trying to air out our dirt. It makes you feel like a victim. Why do "they" have to try to create an image that we're killing our babies. However after that is said & done we have to discuss the facts & truth. After the anger subsides & you listen with a clear & open mind. You will always be upset about how the message was delivered & the controversy around it. But lets get to the facts. 60% of African American pregnancies end in ABORTION!! Thats alarming to me. Over half of Black Americans pregnancies end in abortion. That is insane! It raises the question WHY??? Why are we killing our selves at this rate. Were shooting each other, selling drugs to each other, going to prison for so many years abandoning our families. WHY? Let me be clear I know there are a lot of GOOD black people out there. How ever this makes you think we have to get it together. We have to educate & take control of our communities & our destiny . We have to take responsibility for whats happening, We must recognize the problem, discuss it with rational minds & come up with solutions & then implement those solutions. We must teach our kids about RESPECTING each other. Not living by this code of being a gangsta or being disrespectful to each other or the community we live in. We have to teach our kids that life is not a game & its precious. We have to educate our self about using condoms & birth control & avoiding unwanted pregnancy in the 1st place. The ad almost becomes unimportant if we focus on the real issues. I feel women should have the right to choose. Its their bodies. However its getting to the point where it's being abused. Abortion should not be a form of birth control. We have birth control pills, contraceptives, condoms, etc... to prevent pregnancy in the 1st place. I know condoms break pills sometimes dont work. However you can not tell me that 60% is from that? NO! its people not being responsible. African American, Blacks. MY PEOPLE! Are not being responsible. We have to admit that see it as a problem & try to solve it. Were committing genocide on our selves. Some one actually said Planned parent hood may be targeting the black community to keep our population down. Abortions along with Prison & drugs is a way to control us. I dont know if thats true or not. How ever when you look at the statistics of how many abortion & black children who will never be born are done every year. Over 300,000! thats crazy. Its not a time to blame our women or each other at this point. Its a time to face reality & the truth & try to help each other fix this problem. Im still pro- choice. I just feel we have to lower the amount of abortions. We have to start thinking about Abortions differently. I dont think as a people we can afford to continue to decimate our population by having so many abortions yearly.
