It may be true. Thing is: all the pro-life activity happens in lily-white places like Orland Park and New Lenox. I’m white, but my brother’s autism prohibits me from living in places like this. These places still have restrictive covenants. There are several places where activity like this might occur where we, the different, have to live. There can be a life-chain along route 30 from Chicago Heights to Matteson. While there is no Planned Parenthood, (that’s in Lily-white Orland Park), there are several women’s clinic in the area. One is across Joe Orr Road and down the street from Marian Catholic High School. I ‘m in that area all the time going to and from work, I never see anything occuring. Another is on route 30 a little west of St. James Hospital in Chicago Heights. There is never any activity there, either. There are several Catholic churches close by. St. Agnes comes to mind. There are several Kinghts-of-Columbus groups there, also. This makes me think that the pro-life movement is more concerned about a 15 year-old middle-class girl getting an abortion than anything remotely concerning blacks. Maybe the pro-life movenent thinks that if a black girl has an abortion, the middle-class will have to pay less in welfare costs.
