I thought this thread was about Trent Franks' recent comments.

What comments?

Right, because millions of black women going to abortion clinics ON THEIR OWN ACCORD is the same as forced racial eugenics?
Nobody is holding a gun to their head forcing them into these clinics.

     I suspect it may be difficult for some to comprehend that human beings are volitional animals. Wink

So let's suppose that the pro-life movement succeeds in galvanizing an anti-abortion movement within key racial and ethnic constituencies within the Democratic Party (e.g. African-Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, etc.) -how would that affect the party as a whole?

I would tentatively guess that minorities are less likely to vote on petty social issues like that in the first place.  (I mean, Republicans will often claim that blacks in particular are actually quite socially conservative.  I suppose if you repeat a lie enough times, it eventually becomes truth.)

Explain Proposition 8 then.

The media version of what happened there is quite different from what actually happened.

They are pretty conservative.  Prop 8 is a example of how most people outside of the gay community do not understand that theres a huge gap between  the black gay community and the white one.  Its very segregated.    Come here to ATL - buckhead/midtown and observe.    Its just different when it comes to the two.
