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.

I’m pretty sure my uncle, who was a staunch conservative, has been voting Democrat in Detroit for the last 6 years. Why? He died 6 years ago. (Sadly not joking.)
“Black lives matter”...apparently that only matters when bad guys are killed by white cops, not when babies are slaughtered or that 7,000 Black People Murdered Each Year By Other Blacks.
Much better term than burdened. I guess babies are evil?
And black votes won’t matter much longer when all the immigrants get legalized into genuine “gibsmedats”.
In broader terms,
to a leftist,
CONSEQUENCES are evil.
No wonder so many blacks have anger issues...their black parents often kill them before they are born.
“I killed your brother, but I love you”
doesn’t make a lot of sense.
LOL Silly rabbit..when they say black lives matter they dont mean those silly lives, they mean lives they can use for political gain

Legalized abortion is working out exactly as Margaret Sanger intended. Sanger, the founder of the nation’s largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, was part of the eugenics movement back in the 1930s. Her goal was to use abortion to cull what she considered inferior races from the human gene pool. According to Sanger, “Colored people are like human weeds and are to be exterminated.” She opened her first abortion clinics in inner cities, and it’s no accident that even today, “79 percent of Planned Parenthood’s abortion facilities are located in black or minority neighborhoods.”
And you want to take the vote away from necrosis-challenged Americans?
Haven’t you heard? All “real” African-Americans are pro-abortion, and only “racist rednecks” are against it. [/sarcasm]
Seems to only black lives that matter are those of thugs killed by police officers.
Money power and influence matters.
It’s not just babies who are being killed. Some mothers also die, including one in the unlicensed facility in Chicago. Black male leaders apparently don’t care if black women are killed.
