Durbin: DC abortions are high because residents are black
Am in DC at the moment and learned more today about the political super-underhandedness to lift a 15-year-old ban on taxpayer funded abortions in DC.
One for instance: A rule introduced on the House floor last night to lift the ban was losing when time ran out. But Democrat leadership refused to lower the gavel, holding the vote open until they had twisted for arms to switch (Berry, Dingell, Minnick, and Peters), and the rule passed 216-213.
One person on the scene said s/he had never seen Democrat Pro-life Caucus co-leader Bart Stupak so angry. The silver lining is the Democrat communist rule is coalescing pro-life Democrats into a stronger, more determined bloc.
On the Senate side, there was this interesting exchange, as reported by David Freddoso of The Washington Examiner July 16:
In a committee markup last week, Sen. Dick Durbin (D-IL) said that residents of the District of Columbia have a disproportionately large number of abortions because DC is disproportionately African-American….
In our nation’s capital, 41% of all pregnancies end in abortion, twice the national average given by the Guttmacher Institute. Democrats in Congress are pushing to legalize taxpayer funding for non-lifesaving abortions in DC, which is currently prohibited by federal law and opposed by most Americans.
The issue arose last Thursday when the Senate Appropriations Committee took up the bill that funds the federal district. Sen. Sam Brownback (R-KS) invoking President Bill Clinton’s formulation that abortion should be “safe, legal and rare,” asked why Congress should pursue a policy that will make abortion even more common in DC than it already is.
“41% of pregnancies – that’s not rare,” he said. “We do not need to have more abortions in the District of Columbia.”
Durbin’s reply to this point – and Brownback’s interruption of him – follows below.
Durbin: In terms of safe, legal and rare, to the Senator from KS, I will tell you 2 things. First, it is a fact that a disproportionately large number of African Americans seek abortion in America, not just in the District of Columbia, but all across the nation.
Brownback: 41%?
Durbin: No, but it’s also a fact that a disproportionately large number of African Americans live in the District of Columbia.
Brownback: 41%?
Durbin: I’m telling you, look at the numbers.
Brownback: I’m telling – I’m just asking you, aren’t there enough [abortions] here?
Durbin: Look at the numbers, and you will find this to be true.
Brownback: This – this is not high enough?
Brownback’s amendment to preserve the ban on taxpayer-funded abortions in DC failed, 13-15.
Listen to the audio of Durbin’s jaw-dropping comment here
I don’t know how much more flagrant a black genocide proponent could be. It’s as if Durbin was trying to use our argument to make his case.
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.
Amazing, it’s like he’s saying, “Well, yeah, 41%, that’s about right, let ’em keep killing their kids!”
What a SICKO!
Affirmative action abortions.
Pre-emptive welfare reform.
Making anything available for less than prevailing market prices, or completely free, will not in any way reduce it’s occurrence, until, in the case of abortion, you have drastically reduced or even eliminated the target population group(s) seeking said commodity.
Our local toll authority recently announced they would be increasing the fares on local toll roads because traffic voulume was down due to the ‘recession’.
Think about this. People are using less of something because of loss of income so the solution is to raise the price on the remaining motorists.
Does any sane person believe that will result in a net gain in revenues?
These are the same folks who proposed a plan to increase fares on toll roads during peak traffic periods in an attempt to discourage drivers from using the toll road then.
One other associated problem led to this ‘genius’ solution.
‘Speed pay’ motorists:
Motorists who do not have a toll tag on their car and do not throw the displayed fare in the basket when they drive through the toll booth are slow to pay when billed or do not pay at all.
This is an ‘object’ lesson for liberals everywhere and pbho in particular.
If you want to discourage a particular activity, stop funding it whether that activity is unwed mothers on welfare or public funding of the elective surgery called ‘abortion’.
You will be ‘stunned’ how creative people can be when required to be responsible and accountable for their actions.
This is not cruel. This just reality.

Dick Turbin…what a character.
…
The ‘common ground’ philosophy is working out well.
/not.
The majority of these Dems are sooo pro-abortion, it’s sickening.
Our President is taking a totally passive role. How politically expedient.
Jasper,
I wonder about Obama’s specially appointedl Czar and his/her committee at the White House the are working to REDUCE abortion. Will we get to see a report from them, EVER?
Black parents in Washington DC will have the “choice” to kill their children but not to determine what schools their children will attend.
Where are Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton. Oh yes, they are also totally beholden to the Democrat Party.
Thats true Janet.
It is encouraging to see some pro-life democrats take a stand.
This is the same Sen Durbin who, along with Sen.Reid, treated the appointed black senator from Illinois, Roland Burris, like he should come in the Senate servant’s entrance. I remember Mr.Burris out in the rain because he was denied admission.
Finally massas Reid and Durbin allowed him in and even posed on either side of him for a press shot. Wasn’t that just so white of them?
Compare that to the treatment that court jester Franken got on his arrival. The moron actually brought up Perry Mason during the questioning of Sotomayor. Perry Mason? What will he bring up during hearings on health care, Dr.Kildare?
Mary, If they kill enough children in DC, they won’t have to worry about schools. Maybe that’s the plan. Where are the Black leaders’ voices?
* * * *
“What will he bring up during hearings on health care, Dr.Kildare?”
Dr. Welby, MD.?
Mary, I can’t imagine Dr. Welby would have approved of abortion, though.
Pro-aborts like Senator Durbin are indeed sick. They and President Obama have never seen an abortion law they did not like and there can never be too many abortions. They have sworn allegence to the Dead Babies R Us crowd no matter what. No more “safe, legal and rare” it now is “if you want a dead baby we will ensure you get one at any cost even at taxpayer expense and as many as possible”.
Hi Janet,
This is just another chapter in the Democrat Party’s long and disgraceful history of keeping Black Americans in their “place”.
Janet,
Dr.Kildare! I gave away my age on that one.:)
Mods, if you like please remove this, but it’s from a thread quite a few pages back, and I very much want a response from Prochoicer on this subject:
“A fetus is using another individual’s body to survive. I don’t think any entity has the right to do that against the other individual’s will, even if innocently.”
Wrong. There is no “innocent” or “guilty” about it, since the fetal human is there without intention-placed there by the willful actions of either mother, father, or a joint effort. This happens through no fault of the offspring itself. There is no such thing as “accidental sex”. I don’t find myself walking down the street, trip over a rock, and WHOOPS! pregnant again! Shucks. If a fetal human is in a postion that makes it require the nutrients and protection of its mother, that is the result of a concerted effort on the part of SOMEONE. And any effort THAT intensive (I don’t know about your sex life, but for me it requires at least a bit of effort to accomplish) implies a willful act. It’s neither my fault nor the fault of a fetal human that some people seem to find themselves completely ignorant of the results of the act of sex after the fact, and neither of us should be allowed to be killed legally as a consequence.
“But any one who is born ought to have a healthy, whole, pain free life.”
Why only born humans? Please tell me what happens at birth that makes a human THAT MUCH MORE SPECIAL than one a few days, weeks, or months younger. I thought you were opposed to partial birth abortion? Why, if you think that only born humans have this right to a healthy, whole, pain-free life?
To me, you seem to be contradicting yourself, but I guess that’s why I’m pro-life. So much less dancing around facts and arbitrary line-drawing to rationalize things.
“Someone born without an arm due a doctor’s botched abortion attempt ought to have redress.”
Ummm…that’d be like requesting a physician to operate on your kidney, then becoming irate with them when they go to make the opening incision complaining that you “didn’t realize that they’d have to cut me open to operate!!!” I mean, ripping off limbs and at least moderately damaging the fetal human is kind of an understood requirement when one is attempting to kill said fetal human. The birthing process is kind of expected when you’re talking about the termination of a pregnancy. I mean, getting pregnant without expecting to birth a human being-living or dead-is like having sex without expecting to get preg-oooooooh. NOW I get it.
Unfortunately (for you), your wants, beliefs, desires, or political affiliation have no bearing whatsoever upon biology or the natural biological processes our bodies go through. Even the abortion procedure ends with birth, it’s just the birth of a dead baby rather than a live one (most of the time). I don’t really see how you can justify wanting to prosecute or somehow penalize a doctor for an unsuccessful abortion…would you also hold a doctor who unsuccessfully operates on a tumor (failing to be able to retrieve the entire mass) to the same punishment?

If we do get government-run health care, we will be on the road to forced abortion. Amniocentesis will become mandatory. Down syndrome baby? Abort. Cystic Fibrosis? Abort, etc., etc., etc.
Now we know why we haven’t heard much about FOCA. It’s being shoved in as healthcare reform.
I hope that “abortion is not health care” will become such a huge debate and inflame so many that the whole thing implodes.
These congressmen, congresswomen and senators are evil and wicked.
“First gather together the tares and bind them in bundles to burn them, but ?gather the wheat into my barn.” Mt 13:30
?”Therefore as the tares are gathered and burned in the fire, so it will be at the end of this age. ?The Son of Man will send out His angels, ?and they will gather out of His kingdom all things that offend, and those who practice lawlessness, ??and will cast them into the furnace of fire. ?There will be wailing and gnashing of teeth.” Mt 13:40-42
“Enter (eternity) by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. ?Because narrow is the gate and ?difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it. Mt 7:13-14
Except they repent, they will pay dearly for their crimes against “the least of these”, the most vulnerable, the unborn.
JYW,
You’re name is ironic.
You are in desperate need of salvation.
Jesus came that you might have abundant life and escape the wrath to come.
Call on Him today.

Mary,
Not really. Nearly all those old b&w TV shows are available on cable or the internet, so just because you are aware of them does not reveal how ‘young’ you are.
It is good to know that Durbin is in lock step with Ruth Buzzi Bader Ginsburg in the reduction of undesirable population groups.
Politically correct hyper sensitive liberal humanists are a ‘hoot’ to behold. They provide some cosmic comic relief in the midst of all their sanity threatening madness.
Keep up the good work. I love your posts. They are on point and they are sharply pointed.

JYW,
Check out your “freudian” slip there.
You’re right, if you don’t believe in God’s coming judgment, you will surely die and spend eternity in torment.
Why have you chosen to deny what you know deep down to be true, to your own peril?
Prochoicer said:
A fetus is using another individual’s body to survive. I don’t think any entity has the right to do that against the other individual’s will, even if innocently.
Unbelievable. Surely it must be bleedin’ obvious that a fetus has the right to do *exactly* that.
Or where the hell would we all be otherwise?
JYW,
You’re banned, and I’ve got to run.
Your heart may be so hardened from sin right now that you are having a difficult time hearing your conscience.
I pray, for your sake, that God moves in your life and brings you to your knees that you may acknowledge Him as Lord.
You should read Jonathan Edwards sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God” online, fall on your knees and repent. God will have mercy on you, welcome you back and save your soul.
JYW, the truth is, you’ve been banned and asked not to come back and comment, and you should respect that. But you don’t.
So, you should be prepared to hear the gospel when you come here, since you can’t seem to tear yourself away. And THAT should be okay.
Of COURSE Ed assumes you are bad. You ARE. I am. We ALL are. I know it’s hard to hear and acknowledge, as prideful humans, but there it is.
From many of the things you’ve said here to insult others and deride them, I’m not sure what makes you think you’re a good person. Perhaps you hope the good “outweighs” the bad?
Ed knows the truth already. What’s actually funny is that so many people today believe no one can, with certainty, say they have found the Truth. It infuriates people when Christians say they have found the Truth and are no longer searching. A person at peace in his own heart is perceived as very dangerous to those who do not believe peace is possible through Christ. I pray that one day your eyes will be opened.
In the meantime, you could respect Jill and the mods, however, by ceasing your posting. You have no excuse for continuing to do so. (But I don’t expect you’ll listen, since listening isn’t exactly your forte.)
Have a good Saturday, everyone.
Just got a call from my brother and I don’t have to meet him now…
Not only do I assume you’re bad, I know you’re bad. How do I know that? Because you’re just like me! And every other person on this planet that has to deal with the sin that is in this flesh that we walk around in.
Have you ever stolen anything? Have you ever lied? Have you ever entertained lustful thoughts? Have you ever used God’s name in vain?
You may consider yourself “good” by the world’s standards, but in case you didn’t notice, this world is messed up! God has condemned it!
You’re only hope is in the shed Blood of Jesus.
The really scary part is that it is ok for you to not share my beliefs. God gave you a free will and He protects your right to deny Him and choose to go to Hell with satan and his demons.
Talula, JYW very well knows why she was banned, and it wasn’t for expressing her pro-choice viewpoints (we have a lot of people here who do that, including you, as you’re well aware). Your assumptions are incorrect, and your comment has been removed, since the issue isn’t up for debate.
You’ve been warned JYW, your blood is not on my hands.
Again, for your sake, I hope and pray your life becomes really uncomfortable, so that you might come to your senses and be saved on the Day of Judgment.
Have a great day everyone!

None of my five children were ‘planned’. My wife and I just did what married people do and the children just came along naturally. (Who needs sex edcuation?)
We loved, received and cared for each one of them like responsible humans should do. I never made much money and my wife chose to be a stay at home mom and invest herself in her children. She has educated all five of them herself with a little help from me.
My five children are ‘still’ using my body to survive and four of them are in college.
You know when life begins?
When the children leave and home and their dog(s) die.
Though I have been tempted to kill their dog(s), I have never considered killing them.
They will all be gone and on their own too soon.
I just want to give them every opportunity to be successful in life in all the fullness of the meaning of the word ‘success’.
I look foreward to them annoying the hell out of (literally and figuratively) a lot of liberal humanists.
(My children will not have to ‘work’ at being annoying to liberal humanists. Not because my children are deliberately obnoxious like me, but because liberal humanist do not have a sense of humor of which they are aware. Especially when they are the butt, body and head of the joke.)
My children are not the only ones.
Homeschooled children everywhere are going to frustrate them, because homeschooled children have the beginning of wisdom and, having that, they will not easily be bamboozled by the ‘rhetorical flourishes’ of the leftist deceivers.

Jill make sure that Dr. Johnny Hunter, Rev. Childress, and Star Parker from LEARN get this information along with Day Gardner, Bishop Harry Jackson and Dr. Alveda King I am sure they will be very interested in what Senator Durbin said, this “black genocidal mentality” of the liberal pro-abort Democrats must be exposed and talked about nationally. Please ask Sean Hannity and O’Reilly to have some Black pro-lifers talk about this issue if you can. God bless.
JYW,
It’s called discipline. Thankfully, God disciplines all of us when we need it, and we all need it from time to time.
Except you I guess…
And that’s why you keep posting…
JYW,
I see why you’re banned. I’ve got work to do but I’ll clarify for you as quickly as I can.
Jesus corrected His disciples when they asked Him if they should pray fire down from heaven against His critics. I don’t wish you harm.
However, when we pray, God answers. As I’ve sought Him and tried to live for Him for many years, He has used “uncomfortable” circumstances in my life to bring correction. I needed it, and I’m thankful for it.
Paul wrote to the church in Corinth about disciplining a man was sleeping with his stepmother. He told them to cut the person off from their fellowship, “delivering him to satan”, that he might ultimately be saved.
Make no mistake JYW, if you continue to harden your heart in spite of the cultivations of heaven, you will regret it.
He ??who is often rebuked, and hardens his neck, will suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. Pr 29:1
Check out what happened to the abortionists that were earnestly prayed for but refused to repent: http://www.memorialfortheunborn.org/tabid/54/default.aspx
You’ve been warned.
And by the way JYW, it’s not about religion. It’s about knowing Jesus and God the Father and walking with Him.
He has a plan for your life better than you could imagine.
Take care.
A person at peace in his own heart is perceived as very dangerous to those who do not believe peace is possible through Christ.
It goes both ways. A person at peace in his own heart, but not through Christ, is perceived as a liar or simply mistaken, some sad sack unaware of how not-at-peace he actually secretly is, by those who only believe peace is possible through Christ.
Alexandra, I don’t believe that a person can truly be at peace with themselves and with God unless they have accepted Christ, no, you’re right about that.
Peace with God is only possible through Jesus Christ. He said it long before I did. Don’t shoot the messenger. ;)
BTW, JYW and others here seem to continually enjoy setting up straw men against Christianity. If you want to believe that we actually think “anyone who does not acknowledge [our] truth must be a bad person,” then please feel free to continue in your ignorance.
It’s not “our” truth. Truth is truth, period. I know that in the world of someone who believes in no absolutes, this is a totally foreign concept, but everything in the universe has “laws” that are held to. I don’t see why it’s so difficult to believe that the human spirit would somehow have laws as well.
What some have been trying to say (and have been purposely misread) is that EVERYONE is, by nature, sinful. Bad. Call it what you want to call it. We have a sinful nature with which we are born. (Anyone who has children or has observed children knows this.) We have to *learn* how to exemplify redemptive qualities such as selflessness and giving, and forgiving, because those things are not in our sinful nature to do. They come from somewhere else entirely.
Yes, we are all bad people. Not just you, not just me. Some of us believe we can “become good” on our own, through doing good deeds, etc, but those actions do not necessarily change the motivations of our hearts. Others of us believe that we cannot “become good” on our own and must rely on the sacrifice of Christ, who has redeemed us and changes the motivations of our hearts so that we might glorify Him and not ourselves.
One way relies on the self, one way relies on Christ. After years of trying to find the good in myself, I have realized that the only good qualities in me come from Him. I don’t have a low opinion of myself by believing this.
Alexandra, I don’t believe that a person can truly be at peace with themselves and with God unless they have accepted Christ, no, you’re right about that.
That’s my point. It’s not only “non-believers” who react with derision or disbelief at someone else’s stated happiness/”at peace”-ness. Fortunately I am at peace enough with myself to simply smile and thank people for their concern. :)
BTW, JYW and others here seem to continually enjoy setting up straw men against Christianity. If you want to believe that we actually think “anyone who does not acknowledge [our] truth must be a bad person,” then please feel free to continue in your ignorance.
Is this directed towards me? I couldn’t tell. I didn’t see any of JYW’s posts so I don’t know what was going on in that half of the conversation.
"In particular, we are able to demonstrate that family planning services in the United States were provided more frequently whenever there were black Americans in the population. In other words, there is a strong inferential case to be made that reactions to the racial composition of the population have influenced decisions to provide family planning services."

Ken @ 9:03,
How true!
how true, alexandra. And even when one believes that they do good, it is their secret motivations that are bad, of course. One just has to sigh and smile, perhaps shake her head, and move on. Ironically enough, “…forgive them, for they know not what they do.” gets me pretty far when I keep that quote in mind. :P
Ken 7:59am
You’re a sweetheart.
X,
So you, a self proclaimed unbeliever quote Scripture to yourself about believers? I am shaking my head and smiling at you. :)
The quote you are talking about are the words of Jesus Christ as He hung on a cross for you and ALL people everywhere. He paid for everyones sins by the shedding of His innocent blood.
When they came to the place called the Skull, there they crucified him, along with the criminals-one on his right, the other on his left. Jesus said, “Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing.” And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
Luke 23:33-34
Just because I don’t believe the good book in its entirety doesn’t mean I haven’t read the Bible and agree with some of what is written within it. Good principles to live by are good principles to live by, regardless of where they come from. It would be stupid and foolish of me to condemn everything even remotely connected to any and all religions simply because I myself am not religious. If I think I can learn something from someone, then I will learn, regardless of any affiliations that person might have. I have only to research the source, find any bias or agenda they may have, analyze the message to filter out that bias, and THEN glean the instruction I require from that distilled knowledge. I think this world would be a far better place if people didn’t just take all information presented to them at face value for granted and did a little thinking on their own about their learning.
I love that my comment was deleted. This is what I said:
I don’t understand why JYW is banned. Yes, I understand that JYW is a former poster here who got banned, however, I don’t understand the reason for that decision in the first place.
Is it because she disagrees and challenges your viewpoints? Was she rude and condescending? Does she mock and belittle those with different beliefs?
I don’t see pro-lifers getting banned for doing these SAME things. I have been called some aweful things on this blog and been belittled and mocked more than I have been since grade school. But none of the pro-lifers who did it have been banned much less the comments deleted.
My belief is that she is banned purely because she is an outspoken pro-choicer. If you have rules about what can and can not be said on this blog the rules should apply to pro-choicer and pro-lifer alike. I have a feeling though that that would result in a drastic decrease in approved comments from the pro-life side, and of course that’s not what you want.
Someone please explain to me what I did to warrent having my comment deleted?
Only if Prochoicer answers my comment I posted for her earlier.
(by the way, this is a pro-life blog, so I think it kinda has at least a little bias by default, as do most pro-choice blogs I’ve seen. :/ )
The DC change is the first step toward mandatory abortion of pre-born babies deemed to be future burdens on “taxpayers.”
After all, listen to them rationalizing the high rate of abortion by those of welfare already. They say “doesn’t abortion cost less than WIC and welfare subsidies for the babies if born. The logical extension of this is making it mandatory.
It is coming unless the American people stop these elitists.
Durbin is a cross we here in Illinois have to bear, and unfortunately so does the rest of the nation. The Democrats, led by Durbin, Emmanuel, crazy Nancy, Schumer, Reid, and BHO and a few others in the insiders group, are seriously delusional. They believe the country gave them a mandate to lead from the far left. Wow! They could not possibly be more off the mark, but it is the only way to explain their legislative and executive priorities.
Mary, speaking of the Dems keeping blacks on the plantation, the treatment Sen. Boxer attempted to dish out to the head of the Black Chamber of Commerce certainly backfired on her. That was one black man who wasn’t even about to take it, and he sure let her know!
Talula, I deleted your post because it has nothing to do with this topic and I also answered your questions. Perhaps you didn’t read my response:

Hi Jerry 8:56PM
Thank you for reminding me. Wasn’t he fantastic? Really, what did the NAACP or 100Black Men have to do with anything?
Later, the man was interviewed and called her comments the most vile Jim Crow, 1945 Mississippi, and treating him like a “colored boy”.
I still remember MSNBC discussing the tax protest tea parties and how the supposed “few” black people at the protests should have been put up in front of the cameras. Seriously Jerry, that was said, and if I recall correctly it was Keith Odorman.
Obviously these enlightened folks don’t realize this used to be called “tokenism” and is in itself racist and patronizing.
Both these incidents only shore up my long held conviction that those who are the first and loudest to condemn the “racism” and “intolerance” of others are the people most blind to their own.
Well said, Mary. Speaking of intolerance, allow me to share a little of my experience while participating in the Truth Tour in the Chicago area.
Folks were driving by the graphic signs (which I do not like anymore than they do, but how else does one expose the utter brutality of abortion?) and the occasional passerby would shout “that’s not right.” Now, it would be nice if what they were referring to was the act of abortion, but no, it was the depiction of abortion that they were unhappy with.
It seems their momentary discomfort trumps the pain and suffering of millions of babies who have been or are scheduled to be dismembered. I think of the concentration camps in WWII Germany–if someone had been able to sidestep the authorities there and post graphic visuals of what was happening inside–would that have been recieved with the same type of intolerance we experience?
Hear no evil, speak no evil, see no evil.
The German people didn’t change their hearts until the American forces made the civilian townspeople go into the camps and bury the Jewish peoples’ bodies which were emaciated and stacked like firewood. Many didn’t even believe this was happening to the Jews until they saw it themselves, and let me just say that after seeing it up so close, they really couldn’t deny it anymore, could they?
I must thank my father soon for having given me the knowledge of history I know posess. He was always overly stern in my opinion, but this information he’s imparted to me as been invaluable. It’s given me great insight into many issues in this present day, and perhaps I wouldn’t have the views I do without it. The parallels one sees when they look at the big picture are absolutely striking.

In one of my books I’ve got a photo with a German hausfrau in heels and stylish dress as she carries one side of a makeshift stretcher with a holocaust victim’s body. The look on her face conveys revulsion, disbelief and grief all at once. The abortuary I sidewalk counsel at is in a well-to-do neghborhood near trendy shops and I often wonder how those residents or shoppers would react to having to dispose of the tiny bodies themselves. I don’t think the word “choice” would be uttered.
