In Top 10 States With Most Abortions, 60% of Babies Killed Were Black or Hispanic

As LifeNews previously reported, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) released its national abortion report last month and the new statistics show the number of abortions in the United States have declined to a historic low.

However, unfortunately, a new analysis reveals that out of the ten states where the most abortions occurred, 60.48% of the babies killed were African American and Hispanic.

blackbaby6According to the Census Bureau, Blacks and Hispanics comprise only 13.2% and 17.1% of the population respectively; however they get 37.3% and 22% of all abortions. Additionally, while it definitely isn’t news that Planned Parenthood targets minority groups, the new statistics confirm a pattern that has been going on for years.

In the media, Planned Parenthood is praised for being “diverse”, but 79% of all their abortion facilities are located near minority neighborhoods. There is no way that’s simply “coincidental.” Since 1973, approximately 13 million black babies have been lost because of abortion, and out of the approximately 4000 abortions that are performed daily in the United States, 1452 of them are performed on African American women and their unborn children.

The new report from the CDC is based on information gathered from central health agencies of 49 reporting areas including the District of Columbia; New York City; and 47 states, excluding California, Maryland, and New Hampshire.

CNS News shares more:

The CDC numbers come from the agency’s latest Abortion Surveillance report, published on Nov. 28, and covers the year 2011, the latest for which the abortion data are available.

In Table 12 of that report it shows “Reported abortions, by known race/ethnicity of women who obtained an abortion and reporting area of occurrence – selected reported areas.” The abortion numbers are from 25 states, the District of Columbia, and specifically New York City.

The report does not include numbers from 25 other “reporting areas,” such as California, Florida, Massachusetts and other states because those areas either are not required to report to the CDC, or they “did not report by race/ethnicity, or did not meet reporting standards,” said the agency.From the numbers available, they show that the top ten states in terms of total number of abortions – white, black, Hispanic, and other — in 2011 were as follows:

1) New York, 103,339 abortions

2) Texas, 71,658

3) Georgia, 27,942

4) New Jersey, 25,857

5) Virginia, 24,004

6) Ohio, 23,608

7) Michigan, 21,513

8) Tennessee, 15,623

9) Minnesota, 10,562

10) Alabama, 9,454

Total: 333,560

How is it white privilege when Gosnell was a black abortionist?

I was going to be mightily disappointed if Minnesota wasn’t on that list.

I’m pretty much being sarcastic.

Liberals always talk about “white privilege”, but if you look at it, virtually all of the evils that befall black Americans originate from liberalism.

“Gosh, if only free birth control were available on every street corner”

You mean they sell it at Rite Aid or Wallgreens? Who knew?
