POPSAre Prtospective Mothers Eager to Abort their Black Babies? Notice what this bigoted dunderhead, Rep. Todd Tiahart, is suggesting. Notice how his two examples are of the mothers of black children (President Barack Obama and Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas). I think it’s clear. If the prospective mothers of black babies could have their fetuses aborted and have it paid for by the government, they would do so. That is what this--it must be pointed out--Republican congressperson implied.

From the news article: early 61 percent of local and state homeless coalitions say they've experienced a rise in homelessness since the foreclosure crisis began in 2007, according to a report by the National Coalition for the Homeless. The group says the problem has worsened since the report's release in April, with foreclosures mounting, gas and food prices rising and the job market tightening. "It's clear that poverty and homelessness have increased," said Michael Stoops, acting executive director of the coalition. "The economy is in chaos, we're in an unofficial recession and Americans are worried, from the homeless to the middle class, about their future."

It's a way that politicians use the needs of the poor and middle class uninsured to benefit higher income people. This study proves it.
