<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->I'm just curious, do they identify the ethnicity of these cases?
Just trying to make sure that it is not a conspiracy to create problematic child birth among immigrants, like we had heard of what happens to Romas in other parts of Europe. <!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
The ethnicity is rarely known unless the nurses or doctors present reveal it or the "mother" (i do not consider such types to be mothers) who had this done comes forward.
And this has less to do with racism than a lack of basic human decency, these kids that survive abortion attempts can rarely live to adulthood depending on when this happened (after 25 weeks, 79% survive), most die within minutes or hours, but within those minutes or hours they are thrown away like trash in a room instead of being given the full medical care any normal premature infant would get. In US a law had to be passed at the federal level classifying such non caring as a crime on the part of the medical personnel in case of live birth abortions (where a baby intended to be aborted comes out alive despite the doctors best efforts to kill it in the womb).
As for racism, a few months back I think a couple of young republicans as part of their sting called up plannet parenthood offices near them, and claimed that they wanted to donate money but have it specifically used for abortiong black babies, they were told that they could do so by almost all the planned parenthood personnel they called with one woman even laughing while agreeing, the videos are available on youtube. Now those women could have just been agreeing to the callers demands because they were told to agree to whatever to get donations, or maybe they genuinely liked the idea, i don't know.
