“We can teach our young people, ‘Yes, I believe in abstinence only,†but I also believe I have to be realistic enough to tell my young people how to protect themselves and to keep from becoming pregnant,â€...

When asked by Cybercast News Service, Veazey said he disagrees with statistics cited by black church leaders who oppose abortion, which say that African-Americans represent 13 percent of the U.S. population, but 36 percent of the abortions performed annually.
“They talk about abortion, and I tell them ‘you are the ones who believe in the fetus, you all worship the fetus, and then when the baby really gets here you all abort them,’†Veazey said.
“I say you abort them every time I drive through southeast Washington, where there’s a lack of health care, lack of housing, lack of opportunity. Some of those kids are aborted walking around. And do you know where they go when they are aborted? They go to jail. They go to the criminal justice system. They go to drugs. But these are the same kids that they were so anxious to bring here.

The soft (or in this case hard) bigotry of low expectations. "Our kids are too stupid to abstain. Our kids are jail-bound and that can't be stopped."
