Backwards is as backwards does

Warning if you click on the title link you will cry or feel a sense of anger. You may do both. I am positing a handbill I created against Proposition 26 in Mississippi. This proposition in short order is to make abortions illegal. Rather than have the state to endure the cost of an unnecessary legal battle, it would be best if Mississippians voted No on Proposition 26.

Let the facts speak for themselves in regards to what we as Mississippians and as Americans need to have on our minds more than we do abortion.

========================================================================
========================================================================


Children in Mississippi as of 2008: 768,704
Children in foster care as of 2008: 3,126
Number of children victims of abuse and neglect (2008) 6,272
Number of grandparents raising grandchildren (2008) 48,144
Number of poor children (2008) 220,446
Number of children living in extreme poverty (2008) 107,094

Mississippi ranks 50th in infant mortality (2008)
Mississippi ranks 51st in babies born at low birthweight (2008)

Births in Mississippi: 44,947
Abortions in Mississippi: 2,932
Number of children adopted from foster care 248


Do we really need an amendment to prevent abortions (Proposition 26)? Why do we not have an amendment to protect the children we have living? Where is the amendment to increase the chances of children born being able to sustain life beyond 12 months? Why do we need a law to show us how to have a more viable life for our children in Mississippi?

We must spend more time and resources taking care of what is are rather than what maybe. Cast your cares upon the waters and trust in God’s will to prevail. Let the church say Amen.

  1. I am still waiting for Prohibition to be repealed in Wayne County, MS. It seems the city does't need the money from liquor sales, liquor licenses, so forth, and had rather see it spent in the next County.

    Isn't it difficult enough as it is to get an abortion in MS? Isn't MS Proposition 26 unconstitutional? I certainly hope so.

Black Lightning is more than ready for prime time

Black Lightning It is finally here.   I do mean finally for I have been waiting for seems to be ages (1977).   I am calling for a second season having only watched the first two episodes.   I am not sure of the level of involvement Tony Isabella & Trevor Von Eeden in the production of each episode.     The first two I enjoyed, did I say that already?   The first two episodes seems to have been packed with every issue seen in mainstream media and think pieces regarding the Black community.   This posting is not a think piece. It is my piss piece.   Before I touch on the piss, thanks, many thanks, to Salim and Mara Akil for making it happen. Black Lighting   opens with a Black parent, once again, having to bail a child out of jail for exercising his/her right of protest in the USA. We need to question why peaceful protests with no guns see protestors arrested. Please do not take I am saying people of color should have guns at protest marches.   We would be shot before the

White Boys Whine

Quick  and dirty   Star Trek  Discovery  is everything  I  thought  it would  be.  It is my hope the White  boys  chill the fuck out .  There will be a White male captain .   The Black  woman  will be of a lowered  status.  White  boys  are you appeased ? My personal  view fuck White  boys who had their dicks in a vise  over women  of color  at the helm of a fictional  space vessel.  I shall watch  Star Trek  Discovery .  I shall pay the fee to CBS Access  with joy. If you wanted to watch OITNB you paid  Netflix . Overall  I look  forward  to the day a fictional  show  that features  women  of color  in prominent  positions  doesn't  freak out White males.  They were  so freaked  out  they compared  The Orville  to Star Trek  Discovery .  Guys chill out ,  future  happens . 

OWS dead? Again?

I am so angry at this moment I cannot type straight. http://townhall.com/columnists/susanbrown/2011/11/30/we_are_not_the_99_percent/page/full/ I am sick of false stories planted in the media to kill a real people's movement (OWS). OWS is not dead nor is it dying. Please read the article. We must get more real stories into the media about Occupy. This woman has not been to Occupy she is only repeating a lie created in the MSM to kill Occupy. The people of Occupy are too busy attempting to make a change to think of orgy and the like. MSM is being irresponsible to all at Occupy as Occupiers. There are those at Occupy camps who are not Occupiers but people intent on killing the movement by any means necessary. Please spread the good of Occupy. We must be the media until the media reports truth.
