Cory Booker Wants to Establish ‘A White House Office of Reproductive Freedom’

As Democrats broadcast their strong support for legalized abortion, Presidential aspirant Senator Cory Booker (D-NJ) released a “Plan to Advance Reproductive Rights” which includes a pledge to establish “a White House Office of Reproductive Freedom.”  [snip]

It seems that this was tried back in the ’70’s. If we remember correctly, it was called the “Free Love” decade; The attendant increase in STD’s and abortions rivals anything that the Senator can conjure up. Reproductive activity boomed all across campus dorms and in private dwellings. Such goings on increased the STD; Abortions became a popular weekend activity for the naifs who believed either in divine protection, the rhythm method or just woeful ignorance. All this frolic screeched to a halt when AIDS entered the sport.

A factor ignored by the Senator is the preponderance of black teen and twenty crowd having abortions. It is not an oversight that the majority of these clinics in or adjacent to black neighborhoods. Margaret Sanger’s belief n Eugenics is as potent today as back in her time and guides Planned Parenthood.

Skill without imagination is craftsmanship and gives us many useful objects such as wickerwork picnic baskets. Imagination without skill gives us modern art.
