Some people fear the “replacement “of white people by individuals of color. Many of the same people are anti-abortion.

People of color will be negatively affected by the states that now forbid abortions. They will be forced to give birth to children, adding additional stress to their lives.

Can anyone explain how forcing these women to have more “people of color” results in less “replacement” of whites?

More confusion: I wonder who writes TV commercials. There’s one commercial for a windshield replacement touting how the service person notifies the customer when to expect him. The announcer says a woman is on her MORNING walk with friends. She gets a text saying when the service person will arrive. She turns to her friends and says, “We have more time; let’s go.” She must love walking. The time shown is 4:00 PM.
