If your point is, the left is hypocritical and racist… I agree with you.
But, you seem to think that black Africans and, therefore, black Americans have a vital, life-focused culture. The evidence for that is not compelling in the behavior of either culture. Black Americans, in particular, kill all ages, from the unborn to the aged, disproportionately BECAUSE THEY WANT TO. Black Americans kill as they wish, of their own free will, despite the wishes of whites, not because of white Western imposition.
Of that video, there are tens of her “type” at every pro-abortion rally.
Historically, black Americans were deeply life-focused. Our families were often closer-knit than white families, despite the systemic racism that existed at the time. The same can be said for Africans and, really, most if not all indigenous societies. Life was valued, and abortion was an unthinkable concept. However, this is no longer the case today. As you pointed out, many black Americans have moved away from a culture-of-life mentality. That said, this is not the case if you visit a random off-the-grid African tribe.
You added "white" in front of "Western Imposition," not us. Western culture today is not solely a white construct; black people, along with other ethnic groups, have contributed to what is modern Western culture. The point of Connie's argument is that if the left's stance is that colonization is bad and indigenous traditions should be preserved, then the left should reject abortion for black people at a minimum. After all, Africa, the origin continent for most black Americans, remains, to this day, likely the most pro-life continent on the planet, according to the limited data available. Furthermore, if cultural appropriation is defined as adopting morals and practices that are not part of one's ancestral history, then aborting black babies en masse could be considered cultural appropriation.
This is an article that explains why ob-gyn’s cannot ethically help write exceptions into abortion laws because it ignores abortion access for all. It doesn’t matter that the women in question have life threatening conditions that mandate abortions, and the other women do not. Every abortion is life-saving, they say, because childbirth is 14x as dangerous as abortion.
“Limiting access to abortion care by means of exclusionary lists exacerbates health injustices and disproportionately harms disenfranchised and marginalized patients, since more privileged patients are more likely to have timely access to care and to be able to travel for abortion care.”
The focus is on the marginalized. It is ostensibly kindness, but this is applying pressure to those least able to withstand it. Instead of focusing on women with life threatening conditions in states that have abortion bans, they are concerned about the marginalized having access to abortion.

“kill all the white babies”
Disgusting. We love black and white babies. Culture of LIFE. And this means life for all.
Not convinced.

Thank you for this. Very informative.
