OMG! Racist Gov of Mississippi defends Hyde-Smith - calls black abortions "Black Genocide"
Governor Calls Abortion Black Genocide, Defends Hyde-Smith on Hanging Tape
JACKSON As state and national controversy swirls around U.S. Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smiths comment about a public hanging in her race against an African American opponent, Gov. Phil Bryant opened a press conference this morning implying that black women are participating in the genocide of 20 million African American children through legal abortions.
See, in my heart, I am confused about where the outrage is at about 20 million African American children that have been aborted. No one wants to say anything about that. No one wants to talk about that, Bryant said, with Hyde-Smith and National Right to Life President Carol Tobias standing nearby.

It is absurd that a governor in a state that has one of the worst maternal and infant mortality rates in the country, where it is one of the most dangerous places for women to give birthblack women to give birth, specificallywould talk about abortion being black genocide, Mississippi Reproductive Freedom Fund Executive Director Laurie Bertram-Roberts said today.
First of all, black women are not committing genocide when the same women hes talking about are the mothers of black children, she said. To commit genocide, you have to be trying to eliminate a race of people. By definition, that cannot be black mothers. The majority of women who have abortions are also mothers. Number two, Phil Bryant has never made a policy or endorsed a policy that helps black babies in this state.
