I am saying that the majority of the people below the poverty level are black or minorities, which is not exactly the same.

Well, technically, this is misleading. According to this site, there are 26,494,800 white people, 16,702,200 Hispanics, 12,897,900 black people, and 4,844,100 other minorities living under the poverty line.

The difference in raw numbers is; 34,444,200 / 60,939,000 = 56.5 % of the impoverished are minorities. But, as a percentage of their respective populations, the rates are higher for blacks and other minorities.

The big problem with your proposal is that the people who oppose abortion are for a large part the same that oppose use of contraceptives and have much more conservative women rights ideas. So I don't see this happening.

I can't solve the political system, but I can have a rational debate with smart people. We can resolve to change the world for the better, and it begins with having a vision of how that world looks. I really do appreciate it when people from all sides poke holes in our arguments to make them better, and more reasonable.

We can probably agree on what the problems are, and we may agree on some potential solutions, but considering our collective power -- it is hardly likely any of our best ideas would ever be realized. But... I'm an optimist.
