Brian at Right Wing Watch flags the Family Research Council's classy reaction to D.C. Mayor Vincent Gray's protest of the provisions in the budget deal that would prohibit D.C. from spending its own money on abortions for women who can't afford them:
And for what? According to the latest D.C. census, the number of African-Americans in the city is alarmingly low. In one decade, "the black population dropped by more than 39,000." Experts say the percentages haven't been this low since World War II. Do liberals think that's a coincidence? Obviously, the local Planned Parenthood clinics are doing their job. So while Vincent Gray rages on about taxation without abortion representation, he should stop and consider where his city would be in another 10 years without the legislation. If you thought that black children were endangered before, imagine if the city could continue promoting free abortions to local women.
I suppose it was inevitable, given anti-abortion activists' bizarre attempt to invoke black identity politics in its attack on abortion rights, that James Dobson's group would ultimately start to sound like Marion Barry.
