Some have been so bold as to call the thing “human” after as few as two months; some go so far as to confer human status after as few as 28 days of gestation; and still others (mostly those conservative Christian types) consider “it” human upon conception.

More recently he proposed an ill-conceived soda ban. I criticized his maniacal attempt to force New Yorkers to eat right a few weeks ago. Although his goal for better health among the urban poor is a pandemic issue in every US City; his solutions will hurt minority businesses, increase government expenditures, along with many other intrusions into personal freedoms. Surprisingly, in this article, I am highlighting one of Bloomberg’s better, less invasive policy concepts. Let me explain!

President Obama’s Pentagon recently released a statement threatening military personnel: “Religious proselytization is not permitted within the Department of Defense … Court Martials and nonjudicial punishments are decided on a case-by-case basis.”

You know, now that I think of it, I can’t recall the head of any Muslim-dominated country expressing a single word of condemnation for the act, or sympathy for the victims.

Platko is no longer a “child” and as a 69-year-old elected official of a town with over 50% minorities living in it, she may want to look up the definition of the word nigger and stop using it. According to the American Heritage Dictionary, 1976 edition, “nigger is Offensive Slang. A black or member of any dark-skinned people.”

Abortions are not safe, nor are they rare, and the fact that Gosnell took action to make sure the babies did die if they survived the procedure is also not rare. The only thing that is rare is that Dr. Gosnell is standing trial in a Philadelphia courtroom by a jury of his peers.

Formerly the bedrock of our community, the black family is now failing. Around 70 percent of black children are currently being born out of wedlock, and the availability of marrying-age black males is restricted by a very high — albeit declining — incarceration rate.
