Civil rights argument of "Black Genocide" is a divisive stance for those individuals who passion for human rights. It disgusts me that pro-lifers have pulled civil rights activists into their stance against women's rights. Yes, we are all connected, and historically problems have come out of differences between ally groups, however, when one human right is fought in favor over another seems wrong to me. How can I argue for what I feel is right unless there is opposition. Yes, opposition is important but not to this degree.
What I feel is wrong is that the pro-lifers are using the civil rights activists to create an argument against a right that belongs to us all. A human right, abortion, is the same right as the right to vote for black people and women, the right for equality of men and women and black wo/men and white wo/men. But these two rights are used against each other in an attempt to win the argument or in this case the vote of Congress peoples.

how to cook a revolution: melt together human rights, women's right, civil rights, and GLBTQ rights in a huge pot of discussion and thought.
