The day before Halloween, a woman wrote to the Joplin Globe daring us to "come up with a very good reason to vote for Barack Obama".
Reading the letter, I very much doubt that reason is her forte. Especially this.
"Why would I vote for someone who is all for abortion? Statistics show that mostly the white population uses birth control and the ever-present abortion. Our numbers are dwindling, and Obama wants to keep it that way . Ever think about that? "
D'oh! Silly Republican! You're supposed to be SUBTLE with your racism and sexism! Next time try to disguise the real reason you oppose family planning and just say you're only concerned about TEH BABIES.
This is my first community post, so please be gentle. Pretty much all I do is make fun of this things .

Ironically, I also see anti-choice folk trying to argue against abortion rights by saying that black and Latina women have a disproportionate percentage of abortions. Well, yes. That's because minority women are disproportionately poor, and forcing them to pay for a child and to give up their hopes of college and a better career is not the way to fix that problem.
But-but-but statistics show that mostly the white population uses abortion! Carol Thomas said so!!
Good Lord, talk about somebody living in denial. And honestly, look at the state our economy is in right now anyway-- couples can't AFFORD to go out and mate like bunnies.
Oh, and that blog made me laugh. A lot. :)
Thank you! *blush*
