Black Lives Matter, So It’s Time to Outlaw Abortion

Matt Walsh:

I’ve been hearing quite a bit about this alleged war being carried out against black people. I’ve been told from numerous sources that the killing of Michael Brown is but another piece of evidence that, in the words of someone on my Facebook page, blacks are ‘hunted’ in this country.

Black people are under attack, we’re informed. Cops, especially, are roaming the streets executing innocent black men in cold blood, for no reason, and without ever being held accountable for it.

And then out come the statistics: A black person is killed by a cop every day. A black man is 20 times more likely to be shot by a police officer. Law enforcement is responsible for more black deaths than sharks and lightening combined. And so on.

Unfortunately, these numbers don’t take into account how many of those black people were killed by a cop while trying to kill a cop. Apparently, in the world of Shocking Statistics Used to Prove a Liberal Argument, such details are somehow irrelevant. Could it be that a companion study might prove that black males are also 20 times more likely to violently attack police officers? Has anyone checked up on that angle?

I don’t know this for sure, but I am going to assume that if you take criminals, drug dealers, gang bangers, thugs, and the like out of the equation, and compare law abiding citizens of all races, you’ll find that the ‘killed by a cop’ figures are virtually identical. Michael Brown was killed because he was a violent criminal, not because he had a skin pigmentation displeasing to the officer. In fact, you’ll discover that anyone of any color who obeys the law and doesn’t fight cops will almost certainly avoid being killed by them. Yes, there are exceptions. There are tragic accidents, mistakes, and misunderstandings — like the poor young boy who was shot after brandishing a realistic toy gun on the playground a few days ago — but these are the exception to the rule. For the most part, in the vast majority of cases, if you follow the law and avoid provoking violent encounters with the police, you will not be ‘hunted’ by anyone.
The obfuscation here is truly remarkable. No matter how often it happens, it will always boggle my mind that anyone could site these figures about blacks getting shot by cops without even mentioning that a large number of them were engaged in shoot-outs prompted by their decision to commit a crime. It’s one thing to try and mitigate these qualifiers, but to act like they have no bearing on the matter at all? Incredible. Simply incredible. And then to take the fate of violent criminals and extrapolate that it’s just as likely to befall any person of color regardless of their law abiding nature? Again, incredible. We have reached a level of intellectual dishonesty never before encountered by mankind. It’s like a self-imposed insanity of sorts, and it makes reasonable conversation impossible.

That said, they do have a point, actually.

The people who claim blacks are being targeted and erased are, in fact, raising an important issue.

The ones who hold signs saying ‘Black Lives Matter’ are making a profoundly necessary statement.

It’s just that the shooting of Michael Brown had nothing to do with it.

And the cops have nothing to do with it.

And nothing that Al Sharpton talks about has anything to do with it.

And none of the business owners whose buildings were destroyed had anything to do with it — although I’d amend that statement if it turns out that someone set a Planned Parenthood ablaze.

Indeed, if you want to protest the one institution ehich kills more black people than any other, head to your local abortion clinic.

The chairwoman of the Congressional Black Caucus released a predictably hysterical and disingenuous statement after the prosecutor announced a No True Bill in the Brown case. She said it was a miscarriage of justice that the witnesses statements and physical evidence didn’t support an indictment. I think she meant that it was a miscarriage of mob rule, or a miscarriage of vengeance, or perhaps a miscarriage of injustice, because I can’t see how justice is miscarried when a grand jury fails to indict because the evidence conclusively proves that there is no grounds for indictment. In any case, at some point in her lying, race baiting rant she said this: ‘This decision seems to underscore an unwritten rule that black lives hold no value.’

Wrong again. That rule is written. It’s called Roe v Wade. It is codified into law that all unborn life has no value, only this codification happens to disproportionately impact the black population.

Being conceived black in this country is a dangerous proposition. Did you know that 16 million black babies have been slaughtered in the past four decades? 16 million. 16 million. Do liberals realize this is happening? I assume they don’t. If they did, I expect they’d be shouting about it from the roof tops, given their great and righteous concern for the fate of black children.

Yes, abortion has claimed 16 million black lives in the last 40 years. 16 million black babies have ended up in dumpsters and hazardous waste containers. Black people are only 13 percent of the population but they account for almost 40 percent of all abortions. Abortion doctors kill more black people in a week than the KKK has in the past century. There are almost 2,000 black lives ended by abortion every single day in the United States, and overall, a black baby is more than 5 times as likely to be executed as a white baby. Try to reflect on this statistic: abortion kills more black people than heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and respiratory illness — COMBINED. Throw cops in there, too, and it’s still not close. Comparing just the two causes of death, it appears that abortionists kill about 700 times more black people than do cops.

It’s a grim picture, to say the least. Consider that, if not for abortion, the black population would be 36 percent larger than it is currently. Without Planned Parenthood and its partners in the Infanticide Industry, black people would be much less a minority in America. It’s abortion that keeps their percentages so low. It’s abortion that victimizes them more than anything.

I remember after the Trayvon fiasco when the NAACP asked Obama to press civil rights charges against Zimmerman. Part of their case was, and I’m not kidding here, that Zimmerman infringed on Martin’s ‘right to life.’ What a miracle. The NAACP has suddenly discovered the ‘right to life’ and the Congressional Black Caucus has, for the first time, come to the conclusion that life has inherent value. I guess this means they’ll soon be picketing Planned Parenthood clinics. Thank God. Praise Jesus. Finally the organizations that pretend to care about black civil rights have decided to defend the most important civil right of all.
