Barefoot & Progressive: some abortions are evil

I blogged the other day on Nixon finding a racial justification for abortion.

Now, Barefoot and Progressive has declared Nixon's views on this to be "evil".

Since they strongly support "abortion rights", I've asked whether there are other occasions when they would see an abortion as "evil". (I can imagine a range of possibilities.) It'll be interesting to see if there's any reply-- and if so, what categories they'd include with what justifications.

I didn't ask these questions, but it'd also be interesting to hear their objections for specifying race as a reason.

In addition, it'd be interesting to hear clarification of any uneasiness they might have with the historical promotion of abortion on racial grounds by Margaret Sanger and others; the highly disproportionate practice of abortion in the African-American community today; and the ambivalence to allow people to target race in (at least) some quarters of Planned Parenthood.
