As Abortions Skyrocket, Birth Rate of Black Americans Absolutely Plummets

The number of births to Black women in the United States fell more sharply than for any other major racial or ethnic group in 2024, according to final data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

As a result of skyrocketing abortions in recent years due to the expansion of the abortion pill, the black birth rate is reaching levels described as among the lowest on record.

The CDC report, “Births: Final Data for 2024,” recorded 473,377 births to non-Hispanic Black women, a 4 percent decline from 491,494 in 2023. The general fertility rate for Black women dropped 5 percent to 50.9 births per 1,000 females ages 15–44, while the total fertility rate fell 5 percent to 1,501.0.

By comparison, births declined 2 percent among American Indian and Alaska Native women and less than 1 percent among non-Hispanic White women. Births rose 4 percent among Hispanic women and 5 percent among Asian women.

The overall U.S. total fertility rate hit a record low of 1,599.5 births per 1,000 women, well below the replacement level of roughly 2,100.

The birth rate among Black teens ages 15–19 fell 8 percent in that period, and the average age at first birth for Black women has risen to about 25.9.

Pro-life leaders view the sustained drop as the tragic continuation of a demographic crisis long warned about in the Black community.

In a July 27 analysis, Walter Hoye of the Issues4Life Foundation connected the trend to Planned Parenthood founder Margaret Sanger’s “Negro Project,” which she introduced on June 25, 1939.

Hoye quoted Sanger’s December 18, 1939, letter: “We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population, and the minister is the man who can straighten out that idea if it ever occurs to any of their more rebellious members.”

Hoye argued that Sanger’s goal of limiting Black population growth is being realized through today’s low fertility. He noted that a statistically reconstructed estimate of the total fertility rate for Black women in the 1850s was 7.9 births per woman, and that rates far below the 2.11 replacement level threaten irreversible decline.

“Abortion in the Black American community needs to end now,” he wrote.

The CDC figures confirm a multi-year downward path for Black fertility, with births and rates falling steadily in recent years while remaining below replacement.

High abortion rates in the Black community, combined with broader cultural shifts toward delayed or forgone childbearing, are accelerating the very outcome Sanger once sought to achieve.

That was Margaret Sanger’s expressed intent.

[nickcarraway]

Sad.

[nickcarraway]

In a way. I don’t believe Sanger or Planned Parenthood actually supported abortion in her lifetime. But she did talk about using birth control and sterilization to limit the growth of black population, and she said it in a very insulting way.

African-American women are the core of the modern Rat party, and they want to kill their unborn. So, the Rats need to import more minorities from the Third World so they can claim to represent them.

[MIchaelTArchangel]

Where is George Murphy?

[Morgana]

You are correct.

The last forced State sterilization happened in 1977. I’ve often wondered if this was because abortion was legal by that time and the doctors made more money from the abortions.

[Morgana]

You want the truth?
The RATS bring in more minorities because the abortionists are running low so to speak.

[Mr Rogers]

I know of a woman in her 20s, white, 5 kids from different fathers with one with lifelong serious health issues. Can’t work and depends on welfare- particularly for the disabled child.

I’d support the state telling her “ Get sterilized or no more money!”

[nickcarraway]

African-American women are the core of the modern Rat party, and they want to kill their unborn.

Well, I think you aren't giving the whole story. Democrats passed a series of laws that destroyed the black family. (Well, it destroys the white families too, it's just been slower.)

In 1940, the divorce rate among black couples was lower than among white couples.

The important thing is that single mother households were the direct result of these laws, and single mother households increase Democrats being voted in. So, it helped the Democrats greatly, and Republicans just go along with it.

And the greatest protectors of abortion are a segment of white women.

I think you hit the nail on the head. Once abortion was out there, they didn't need it, and didn't need to disturb some of the more squeamish sensibilities.

The progressives were the ones who started eugenics and sterilization, but now they blame it on everyone else?

Murder, Inc.

PLANNED SLAUGHTERHOOD

3.9 MILLION ABORTIONS 2006 - 2018

Maybe Democrat Cecile Richards can show her Lamborghini and
her Democrat Joe Biden Presidential Medal of Freedom to Almighty God...




People definitely DON'T want to NOT be written into His Book of Eternal Life

And at Chuck ‘E Cheese’s everywhere there was great rejoicing.

add communism to that as well... especially older white “educated” women

[Impala64ssa]

Ever spend $7k on an oil change? It's not cheap to roll in a Lambo. Ask Cecille Richards. Pimpin' baby parts ain't easy but someone's gotta do it 🤬🤬

[KitJ]

All democrats rejoice at this news. Sanger is smiling in hell. On Earth, people like Hillary, Chuck, Angela, Hussein, and many more smile.

The people that elite leftists called “weeds” for over a hundred years are being culled. The commies couldn’t be happier.

Over 100 years of Communism. “It just hasn’t been done right.” Stalin, Mao, Hitler, Pol, Kim, Mussolini, Mugabe, Castro and more. Hundreds of millions of people killed to make socialism/communism “done right”.

I’m sick of this ideology.

[Morgana]

Mind you that in every state poor women can still get sterilization for free if they ask or request it. Problem is the abortion industry has their claws into poor women, that will pay for an average of 5 abortions in her life time.

[nickcarraway]

U.S. NGOs have some kind of program that gives a tubal ligation first time mothers in hospitals in Mexico. Except they don't tell the woman, they just do it. And the woman never knows why she never gets pregnant again.

About 22 years ago, I was at some kind of conservative meeting, I think at a restaurant. And there was this women handing out pamphlets from her organization that was doing something like this. I guess she thought conservatives would be into sterilizing Mexicans. She was cold as ice and I was horrified.

[Morgana]

“U.S. NGOs have some kind of program that gives a tubal ligation first time mothers in hospitals in Mexico. Except they don’t tell the woman, they just do it. And the woman never knows why she never gets pregnant again. “

There have been a few Doctors here in America caught doing that. I have posted about it. I have posted about it happening in women’s reformatories in California.

[metmom]

That was my thought as well.

She’s achieving her goal.
