A University of Pennsylvania English professor has opined on MSNBC (of course) that "Republicans oppose abortion because they want to see more white babies come into the world in order to perpetuate the race". (hat tip John Speedie)
That's right. Meet Salamishah Tillet.

Of course, MSNBC has to scrape up every tidbit and nutty professor they can to keep their steady stream of Republican-bashing going from one day to the next, at least until they can switch to their quality programming (Lockup). This is really stretching it, however.
Liberal Democratic commentator Kirsten Powers, who happens to be intellectually honest, effectively pointed out that the majority of aborted babies in this country happen not to be white, but I would like to introduce the learned professor Tillet to a woman named Margaret Sanger who founded the predecessor organization to Planned Parenthood. Part of Ms Sanger motivation was keeping down the non-white population in this country, and in that, she left her mark.
This, however, is just another example of how the mad hatters at MSNBC have reduced that network to a propaganda platform that would make people like Josef Goebbels proud.

That's absurd. Republicans don't care at all about abortion. They just do whatever they think makes them look good and secures their voting base -- which unfortunately for them is a minority, as the voters of South Dakota proved about eight years ago.
And Democrats don't?? Pay you money, take your choice.
P.S.--Just another prime example of typical lib/Dem/progressive drivel.
elwood, I'm not a Democrat. Don't get me started on how the Democrats made and kept Scott Walker as governor of Wisconsin. What a bunch of spineless cowards. If they lose another senate seat in Massachusetts, its their own damn fault. But I notice you haven't refuted anything I said about the Republicans.
Siarlys--that shot was at the prof, not you. I know you are not a Dem but be danged if I can figure out what you are. I am not even sure you know.
And I did not understand that refutation was necessary. While some may be a little extreme or over the top, to say that the vast bulk of pro-life Republicans (of which I am not one) do not care about abortion, or are not sincere in their opposition to abortion, is so ignorant that nothing else needs be said.
I wasn't talking about "the vast bulk of pro-life Republicans." I was talking about the party leaders and legislators, who don't really care about representing what the vast bulk really want either, only about how to manipulate them.
At present, there is not a viable party that adequately represents my point of view. If one emerges, it will have a platform drawing on the original Populists of 1892, a good deal of Debs style socialism, and some of the better material coming out of Front Porch Republic. It would be agnostic on abortion -- that is, the party would favor no particular position, leaving legislators free to campaign either way, and voters free to vote either way, but implicitly would not make it a decisive issue. I would probably favor a constitutional mechanism that over a period of twenty years the budget must balance -- you can deficit spend in bad economic times, or for a worthy investment for the long term, but it can't be open ended.
