The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention says that heart disease is the leading cause of death among both men and women in the United States. But new research suggests that might not be true for minorities.
A recent University of North Carolina study found “voluntary infanticide,” better known as abortion, is the leading cause of death among African Americans and Hispanics.
Researchers argued the federal government doesn’t take abortions into account in its mortality statistics, something these scientists took issue with:
“The appropriate role of science is to inform this societal dialogue with objective information. Labeling abortion as a preventable death is not an argument for restricting access to a legal abortion. However, refusing to acknowledge abortion as a death undermines the role of science and the value of transparency so fundamental to a free society.” In their study, researchers compared the latest pregnancy, abortion, and death data recorded by the CDC, the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and the Guttmacher Institute in 2009, which painted a pretty stark picture.
Of the 3,589,163 deaths across all races and ethnicities, 61.1% were attributed to abortion among African Americans and 64% among Hispanics. Non-Hispanic Whites reportedly had an abortion death rate of 16.4%.
One of the co-authors of the study, James Studnicki, told Campus Reform that the study is one that is sorely needed in the academic community, even though it hasn’t been well-received:
“Abortion as a death is an inconvenient and uncomfortable truth for pro-abortion advocates.”
“The science/academic/public health communities overwhelmingly support legal abortion,” Studnicki added, “The academic community has greeted this research with profound silence because any debate about the paper would give it a higher visibility — and this is something that the majority of academic/science/public health ‘thought leaders’ want to avoid at all costs.” Though abortion isn’t currently included in mortality statistics, Studnicki and his co-authors made it clear that excluding that information might be “the ultimate case of science denial.”
Kudos to Sarah Palin for the heads-up.
Well this won’t stand.
Snarling Feminists in Washington will be threatening to cut-off their research grants by dinner time, and they’ll be in full retraction mode by this time tomorrow.
In the case of blacks, did they include black on black murder as a cause of death? Well, of course, blacks aborting their babies is the heart of the article, but what about grown blacks killing each other and sometimes hapless children who get caught in a cross-fire.
Somewhere, amidst the flames, Margaret Sanger is smiling.................
In that case, they could blame Glock pistols.
I guess, if you can smile in hell, which I think you can't. Maybe Satan is smiling. But he can't smile either. But I get your point. The ultimate point may be that people in life think they'll be smiling at such-and-such act of evil, if they can pull it off. But they're wrong, because the devil and their own self-absorption and anger have deceived them and led them to where they are.
It is working just as Sanger intended.
Is anyone else having trouble reconciling that statement?
If the unborn babies are considered non-people, devoid of the right to life and therefore able to be discarded without due process, how can their numbers be included in statistics about people who do have a right to life?
Depends on whether an unborn baby is considered a human being or not. And that is what the article addresses and the UNC research takes into account.
Verbose unprofessional headline of article:
“UNC Researchers’ Striking Report: Heart Disease Is Not Leading Cause of Death Among Minorities. It’s Abortion”
ABORTION is Margaret Sanger’s idea for GENOCIDE of Negroes
and poor “white trash”. Seriously. Get a clue! Wake up!!
The groups aborting their young ultimately control their own destiny, whether they accept responsibility or not. No one is putting a gun to their head to make babies or abort them.
I’m sorry. You were just a handy punching clown! Twinkie
hurts lots of people’s feelings in her careless path each
day. :o( Mr. Robinson used to ZOT! me; but now he ignores
me; even when I say words like “Hitler-y is a ASS!”
In a world full of idiots that know all the women on “the Real Wives of Ottumwa,” but can’t name their congressman, a message like this is powerful. It frames the order of magnitude of this problem. When it makes lefties freak ask them how, in this era with planned parenthood, and free Obamacare, that blacks and Hispanics can’t access free birth control. Liberals are failing their constituencies and falsely blaming the right.
