Obama Helps White Men Get Rich Killing Black Children

Joseph Sobran, writing in the June issue of Chronicles magazine:

In order to become president, [Obama] had to get the Democratic nomination. And in order to do that, he had to appease the party's feminists by supporting abortion all the way. And in order to do that, he had to ignore the actual demographics of abortion.

People on both sides talk abstractly, as if abortion were only a matter of the individual woman's isolated "choice." Yet this avoids some striking social disparities. Women who get abortions in this country are disproportionately black and Hispanic. The abortionists are overwhelmingly white and male.

So, concretely, abortion actually means white men getting rich killing black and brown children. And Obama's promotion of this hideous practice casts a strange light on him as a symbol of racial "progress."
