These folks are not really anti-abortion. They don't want young black women to have abortions or birth control -- because the percentage of the population that is black is dropping. They want to increase the percentage of black people. They are the elite of the black community -- they are black politicians, church and civic leaders - they need black voters to exist.

They don't care about young black women. They care about their eroding power base. They blame the lack of growth of the percentage of black people in the over all population on abortion and birth control -- and that is why they are against both.

They are not to keen on mixing the races either, or a kid with a drop of African-American blood identifying themselves with any other ethnic group.

The only racist issue, is the real reasons they are against birth control and abortion -- the one they call the genocide of their race, which is silly since it is the individual choice of black women of all economic levels - rich and poor to decide how many kids they are going to have -- that this group is against. If they could they'd force young black women of all backgrounds to have more kids in the name of God, Race or whatever else suited them.

In the Netherlands were it is legal, as many a tourist knows, they have a unique problem, more demand than women willing to go into that line of work, but hey the Russian mafia has a solution, they kidnap young girls from the refugee camps in Eastern Europe and force them into prostitution. Or a nice Dutch couple puts an ad in an Eastern European newspaper saying they want a housekeeper or a nanny and would pay alot, except when the girl shows up guess what?

Interpol and UNICEF put trafficking in human beings for sex slaves 3rd after drugs, and gun smuggling for profits. And point out that it might over take the other two, due to laws being slow to recognize the problem. The women/kids don't speak the local language and rarely can ask for help. And if they do are sent back home to were they are endanger.

Legalizing it, when there are not enough women who want to volunteer to meet the need - makes the illegal kidnapping more of a problem. Yes it happens in all of Europe and the US - but it is whose in the one country where it is legal, because the activity is hiding behind the legal. And it is hard if not impossible to make laws to deal with this that don't also impact legal prostitution.

So by legalizing it - the Netherlands has a worse human traffic problem than the rest of Europe. And while you're at it look at the rate of rape in Nevada - it is not bucking the trend that sexual violence against all women is higher in places where sex work is legal.

Is there anything wrong with doing it? No

Is life fair? No

This will haunt you, people will post pictures to MySpace or FaceBook pages, they will put it out on the net where future employers will find it. You are getting a PHD -- probably to teach or research, two of the most conservative, and negative publicity adverse types of employeement. Future students will find it and not take you serious. The many of males in your life will not treat you as a real human being if they knew. Is that fair? No -- but look around you, listen to them, and really think about.

You can't keep this secret, it might already be to late -- not to mention your tax records are public, and leaving off employeement is fraud... how do you explain this to future employers? So how are you going to put these jobs on your resume, and its is a risk to leave them off, if the job checks

your history -- and people who hire PHD's tend to check.

Dancing is a temptation to a lot of poor female college students -- it sounds good. But it doesn't go away, and will be used against you later in life, bad divorce -- it will come up, child custody -- it will come up,, even if you stopped long before having kids. It will have an impact. You will be judged for it. They will never want you for a foster parent, odds are it will be an issue in adaption.. and when your boyfriend finds out he'll either be turned on for the wrong reason, or turned off. It is never worth the price for the short term gain.

It only empowered you in the short term. It only enriches in the short term -- but life is long.
