A study has been published claiming that lower life expectancy among African-Americans has led to one million fewer voters in elections from 1974-2004. From The Atlantic story on the study:
A new paper, “Black lives matter: Differential mortality and the racial composition of the U.S. electorate, 1970-2004,” argues that the racial gap in mortality rates could have a major impact on national politics.
The premise of the paper, by researchers at Mathematica Policy Research, the University of Michigan, Stanford, and Oxford, is simple: Unless you live in Chicago, you can’t vote when you’re dead.
Since overall black health outcomes are worse than white ones, and life expectancies are lower for black Americans, that must have an effect on the results of elections.
Our African-American brothers and sisters do indeed have a lower life expediency, and we should work assiduously to remedy that problem.
But if you really want to find the source of missing African-American voters, it is estimated that more than 16 million African-American babies weren’t born because of abortion.
If you really want to find missing black voters, that’s where I think the finger should be pointed. Because of Roe v. Wade, and what some believe to be the targeting of African-Americans by the abortion industry, there are millions of black voters who never had a chance to cast a ballot.

They don’t matter . . . except as political props and blind voters. The Demonrats have fifty plus years of experience
Black lives matter - except in the womb.
Exactly. That doesn’t fir the narrative.
Media?
16million less cops prosecuted or worse.
Nonsense. WHEREVER there are Democrats, the dead can and do vote.
Tissue masses DON’T matter. After all, didn’t the lyin’ king once say something about “being burdened with a baby”? Too bad stanley didn’t take advantage of a back alley doc.
Fetuses do not vote and can’t be counted on by community organizers to flood an office or bank with threatening chanters. The mothers...excuse me, women burdened by a baby, can be relied on to be the foot soldiers of the Democratic mob. They are paid in welfare, EBT and Obama phones. This allows them to indulge in not working, sex, drugs and alcohol. If the blacks themselves are not concerned then why should anybody else be concerned? (Consider the context before responding to that last sentence.)
Those aren’t really “lives”, doncha know.
That propaganda was really effective, as these are just “tissue growth” no more importance than getting, say, a hair cut, or having liposuction done.
Think of it as a sort of appendectomy, just inside the womb. (Still a piece of that same propaganda.)
93 Percent of blacks murdered in America are killed by other blacks - nobody cares.
I’d venture to say that 93 percent of all blacks killed by abortionists are killed by WHITE abortionists - still nobody cares.
Yet some criminal/thug/teen is killed by a white cop - suddenly Black Live Matters.
It is important to note: For liberals babies are not babies until sometime after they are born, regardless of what flavor they are. Truth be told, Liberal don't appreciate any life, black, white, brown, etc. They play lip service to problems that they create as an instrument to influence further growth of their domination over all subjects. Their first and last objective is to RULE and be served. Their "For the Children" mantra was cured on the abortion issue by redefining when they actually can be called children.
But alas, their already converted and loyal subjects have already bought the farm and subjected themselves to the new slavery under the weight of tyrannical government. What's worse, they were talked into it and voted for it.
Black wives matter.
I believe it was "punished" with a baby.
Molech is pleased with the sacrifice.
I’m sure Satan is also pleased with the level of chaos and murder that occurs because of the dearth of black fathers as well.
90% of Baltimore’s black children have no father in the house.
Definition Of Irony:
Democrats support all abortions, including elective, non-medical abortions.
Republicans and conservatives want to end abortions of all, or almost all, babies, including blacks even though 90% or more of the black babies would have grown up to be solid democrats and vote democrat all their lives.
HEY THE DEMS ARE TWO STEPS AHEAD AND ARE IMPORTING ILLEGAL VOTERS TO REPLACE THE BLACKS..... BLACK VOTES MATTER ... NOT BLACK LIVES.... GOT OT???? OK
