"These are human beings the Violence Policy Center is talking about. And if these same victims belonged to any other race, I hope I would be writing about them, as well.
As Sugarman said Friday, all too often these awful statistics are taken as being acceptable.
"We hope to draw attention to the lives lost so that communities, churches and others might come up with some solutions to stop these killings.''
And, he added, these homicides short-circuit opportunities, and that's the case regardless of race."
Let's also get concerned about the abortion rates among the minority population which is considerably higher than among whites. In fact the stats recently released by the Health Dept. point this out. In TN the abortion rate among non whites recently released at 21.5 as opposed to 5.7 for white population. In the Mid Cumberland area (where the Tennessean appears) the rate for non whites is 15.5 versus 6.0 for whites. We should be concerned about all violence including violence against the pre born.
I agree with his quotes against violence and call for his concern for the short circuiting opportunities for those lost to abortion the post abortive men and women who are left shattered by abortion.
