not a fetus
a failed abortion
a live baby, outside the womb - that which we devote extraordinary effort and resources to save in the NICU
Is White Privilege Real?

Is the only type of white privilege you're willing to grant the one that's written into law?
Maybe reflective clothing is the key
"Obama opposed the 2001 and 2002 "born alive" bills as backdoor attacks on a woman’s legal right to abortion, but he says he would have been "fully in support" of a similar federal bill that President Bush had signed in 2002, because it contained protections for Roe v. Wade."

That works for me.
There's Indian privilege
There's Native privilege
There's female privilege
There's Jewish privilege
These things are highly evident just by looking at a homeless shelter, or the student count of a college, or recipients for government aide, or clemency for crimes, or social/financial safety nets.
There is no white privilege- a lot of white people inherit legacies that, without, would have nothing more or shown any more favor than a black person. A white person who perpetuates the bogus 'white privilege' lie simply throws their own disadvantaged white people under the bus.
calling one a 'sell out' isn't so racist once you acknowledge REALITY :wave2:

All one need do is take note of the skin color of all but 1 president, members of the Supreme Court, Senators, House members, billionaires, millionaires, CEO's, military leaders, etc. throughout American history and it doesn't take "rocket science" to determine who has been in control of its power and wealth!

in other words, bammy voted against the bill that was intended to protect babies because he didn't want to damage the "legal" right to kill babies

the conversation is not about historical holds on power
the discussion at hand is whether today - generations after the end of slavery, jim crow, legal discrimination - whites have an unfair advantage
At least someone knows what it means.
By very definition, affirmative action programs are a privilege.

Sure, some might say "it" as in "get it outa me!" :idunno:
They could...but you righties have laws against such things. So, she takes your tax money instead.
No. It has nothing to do with abortion.

they both involve the deliberate killing of a human being
One involves gestation....or more to the point, a rightful denial thereof. Use that impressive noggin of yours to discern betwixt the two.
