Abortion Barbie changes stance on abortion

[Quantum Windbag]

This woman is so stupid she can't even wait to get elected to contradict herself. Then again, she is claiming it wasn't her fault.

State Sen. Wendy Davis http://www.mysanantonio.com/?contro...cal&search=1&inlineLink=1&query="Wendy+Davis" got widespread attention when it was reported this week that she said she could have supported a Texas ban on abortion at 20 weeks if the legislation included enough deference to a woman and her doctor.It was notable because her filibuster against a measure that included that ban and other tighter abortion restrictions launched her as a national political figure before she began her race for the Democratic nomination for governor.
Davis, however, told the San Antonio Express-News editorial board that she doesn't think it's possible for a 20-week ban to give enough deference to the decision-making of a woman and her doctor, and that she wouldn't advocate for such a ban.

Naw. She's like all the rest. Pandering to anyone to get elected. Even if that means taking advantage of the poor women she marched to the Texas capital building in opposition to the bill. Just like Obama, she was against it before she was for it. What a load.

Sounds like she is trying to pretend to be open minded about it without actually doing any heavy lifting at changing her position.

Blacks have triple number of abortions as to percentage of population...

CDC: 35% of Babies Aborted in 2013 Were Black
November 28, 2016 – Although black Americans make up 13.3% of the U.S. population, they comprised 35% of the total abortions “reported” – 128,682 babies killed -- in 2013, according to the latest Abortion Surveillance report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).

That number, 128,682 black abortions, comes from only 29 reporting areas, according to the CDC. It does not include black abortions from the following states: Arizona, California, Connecticut, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nebraska, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming.

Those states “did not report, did not report by race/ethnicity, or did not meet reporting standards,” said the CDC in Table 12 of its report. The header for Table 12 reads, “Reported abortions, by known race/ethnicity of women who obtained an abortion and reporting area of occurrence — selected reporting areas, United States, 2013.” According to the CDC, there were 664,435 abortions total – white, black, Hispanic, other -- reported in 2013 from 49 reporting areas. But that number does not include abortions from California, Maryland and New Hampshire.

For those abortions known by race, in addition to the 128,682 black babies killed, there were 134,814 white babies, or 37.3% of the total reporting. Whites make up 77.1% of the population, according to the Census Bureau. For Hispanics, who comprise 17.6% of the U.S. population, there were 68,761 abortions reported, which was 19% of the total. For “other abortions,” there were 29,334, or 8.1% of the total reporting, according to the CDC in Table 12 of its report.
