Abortion and Black America

Dr. Joseph Booker is an African American gynecologist in Jackson, Mississippi, home to that state’s only abortion clinic. He goes to work under police escort, wearing a bullet proof vest. Booker is right to be prudent. At any moment he could be killed by people who call themselves pro-life.

1. "Iraq is not the only war"
Wonderful. Thanks for the link.

This is a powerful article.

"State Senator Diana Bajoie is a Democrat and a founder of that legislature’s black caucus. She wants to outlaw abortion, with no exceptions permitted, not even to save the life of the mother. “If you believe in life, that’s what it should be.” " From a female Democrat.

This is what we're up against.

2. And I wonder if Homeland Security is monitoring these anti-choice
groups. How is it not terrorism if you are forced to wear a bullet proof vest to work?

3. And yet some people would deprive this man of his right to carry a gun
Conceal and carry laws will protect people like this man.

5. And how many murderers of clinic doctors got state-licensed
to carry a gun before carrying out the murder?

Easy. ZERO.

Lots of the doctors have carry permits, though.

I used to live in northwest Florida, not far from where one of the high-profile murders took place. The perpetrator used a 12-gauge hunting shotgun, illegally transported. Denial of handgun carry licenses for FBI-certified good guys doesn't do a damn thing about the nutcases who don't CARE if they are breaking the law...

And believe me when I tell you that the clinic doctors and their escorts were lawfully armed...
