(e.g., "You are not a man because you can make a baby. You’re only a man if you can raise a baby, protect a baby and provide for a baby.")<BR/><BR/>Not that Jackson has to be consistent. Back then he also opposed abortion, especially in the black community, and said that the arguments in its favor would also justify genocide and slavery.DWPittellihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02809996471988559374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8852689.post-31157824556230469042008-07-18T17:30:00.000-07:002008-07-18T17:30:00.000-07:00This is precisely the Jesse Jackson we all know: a race-baiting bigot.
