We’d like to think even Alabama has gotten more progressive but… to hear Alabama State Rep. Alvin Holmes tell it — the very Republicans pushing to ban abortions would have their own child have one rather than welcome a black baby into their family…
Via AL.com reports:
A debate Tuesday over a bill to ban abortions after a fetal heartbeat is detected turned to race after Rep. Mary Sue McClurkin, R-Indian Springs, compared her bill to Brown vs. the Board of Education.
But during the debate, Rep. Alvin Holmes, D-Montgomery, said that his Republican colleagues would support abortion if their daughters were impregnated by black men.
“Ninety-nine percent of the all of the white people in here are going to raise their hand that they are against abortion,” he said. “On the other hand, 99 percent of the whites who are sitting in here now, if their daughter got pregnant by a black man, they are going to make their daughter have an abortion.”
Do you agree with him? He is the same character who called Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom for having a white wife, btw.
Either way you’ve got to listen to the audio:
His whole tone is pure comedy. He’s like “Really???”
Have times changed on Alvin Holmes, or nah?
