GOP Congressman to Obama: You’re Racist Against Black Children

As the wheels continue to fall off the Romney campaign, Republicans are trying to do what they can to distract attention. One such Republican is Kansas Congressman Tim Huelskamp, who decided that accusing President Obama of racism against black children was more important than discussing the events currently unfolding in the Muslim world. Rep. Huelskamp told a crowd at the Voters Value Summit yesterday that Obama’s support for Planned Parenthood is akin to supporting slavery:

Like the pro-slavery forces who invaded Kansas, the pro-abortion forces in Washington and elsewhere want us to believe that abortion is not murder — that being born is worse than death, that the unborn baby is property, not a person. We’ve heard that before — 150 years ago..

Rep. Huelskamp then went on to assail Planned Parenthood as a place designed to kill black and brown babies:

And not shockingly, we see this administration opposing any reductions in taxpayer funding to the one private corporation, the largest abortion business in the entire country — Planned Parenthood.  Would not allow any single reductions, more than $300 million tax dollars to this entity.  And ladies and gentlemen, I am the adoptive father of four children, each of them either — each of them either black, Hispanic, Native American, and I am incensed that this president pays money to an entity that was created for the sole purpose of killing children that look like mine — a racist organization, and it continues specifically to target minorities for abortion destruction. Shame on this president and shame on that party.

Even though the timing of the Congressman’s comments does draw suspicion, it is true that, according to the Centers for Disease Control(  CDC ), black women have three times as many abortions as white women. Some experts wonder what the impact of these abortions has had on both black population and the health of black women.

In  the year the Supreme Court decided Roe v. Wade,  1973,  there were 11 abortions per 1000 women aged 15 to 44. Eight years later, that number doubled for the same group to 22. In terms of the total number of abortions, 615,831 legal abortions took place in 1973; 1,300,760 in 1981.

    For some people this is an important issue. What this man said is not a lie. If you know Planned Parenthood’s practices in applying donations then you know that this is true. Obama may not be aware or care, however, the truth is you can donate money to kill a black baby if you want to. His staunch support of Planned Parenthood can be taken to mean exactly what this man said.

    I will say his support of the company doesn’t make him racist although Obama himself has said that he is not the President of Black America. He doesn’t seem to want to help us imo. He’s the President of all of America failing to see how we are still marginalized and mistreated. It’s not an issue he can fix in 4 or 8 years but he could at least address the issue. ijs.

    This is not true. I have been to planned parenthood many times (b.c I had no insurance after college) and Iv never had an abortion. Infact abortion are less then 10% of the procedures performed there. Planned Parenthood has been a staple in many communities providing everything from checkups and STD screening to contraception and family planning services (its also one of the few places that screen for herpes and other diseases not provided for in state clinics).

    Also black women are the not the majority of women getting abortions (just like black people are the majority of individuals on welfare). Lastly with access to affordable contraception the rates of abortion have decreased and with universal healthcare under the presidents healthcare plan
    it is very likely to continue to decrease.
