Minaj’s abortion story was good because of war on women?
by Carder
And while some may criticize her for not “keeping her business to herself,” I’m extremely glad that she didn’t stay silent.
For starters, while a handful of Black celebs have talked about having abortions (Vanessa Williams and Sherri Shepherd come to mind), it’s rare that young Black celebs speak out.
And largely, the public narrative around who has accessed this safe and legal (depending on where you live) medical procedure, has been centered on white women - further perpetuating this notion that abortion is a white woman’s issue and that they are the only ones who are deeply impacted by the current war on women.
In reality, this couldn’t be further from the truth. African-American women have the highest abortion rates in the U.S.
~ Kellee Terrell, explaining why she is ever-so-grateful that rapper Nicki Minaj came out with her abortion story, BET, January 6
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
Kellee’s article says about Nicki, “when she was 16 years old, she got pregnant by a man who was much older than her.”
I’ve read other articles that state she got pregnant at 15. Why doesn’t Kellee wonder and worry about how old the “much older” man was and when he started having sex with Nicki? Is he still preying on children?
Also from Kellee’s article, “We also have to stop ignoring men and consistently emphasize their responsibility in preventing pregnancy, HIV and STDs by wearing condoms.”
How about holding men responsible that rape children? Nicki’s story is as much about the statutory rape of a child as it is about the murder of a child.
Dead-baby daddy was probably responsible and paid for the abortion. That’s seems to be what about half our country expects from fathers anymore.
I don’t know if Kellee has been under a rock, but pro-lifers have been saying for years now that minority women are disproportionately affected by abortion.
We’ve been speaking out on this, trying to draw attention to the fact that there is a problem, and these women seem to be particularly vulnerable.
Planned Parenthood is well aware that minority women have the highest abortion rates. Why do you think so many of their facilities are located in or near high-minority areas?
Margaret Sanger would be proud.
I found an article regarding Vanessa Williams that opens with,
“She recently revealed she was sexually abused as a 10-year-old, and now Vanessa Williams has spoken candidly about a high school pregnancy that ended in abortion.
She said: ‘Being pregnant is the most frightening thing that happens in your life.'”
A black woman being so brainwashed that she thinks being pregnant is more frightening than being sexually abused as a ten year-old.
Margaret would indeed be so proud, Eric.
Tears.

Again, who was the father and how old was he?
