NASHVILLE, Tenn. — “Adulting” was not going great for Tia Freeman. She had lost her scholarship at the University of Tennessee and enlisted in the Air Force. As she finished training to be an analyst, she got pregnant despite being on birth control.
Both her parents worked, so the child care they could provide was limited. Day care would have eaten most of her paycheck. And even at age 20, Freeman knew that as a Black woman she would have more difficulty climbing the economic ladder than some other women would.
So she had an abortion.
“I’m at the bottom of the military rank system. I barely have enough to support me,” Freeman, now 26, recalled thinking at the time. “I knew this wasn’t going to be the kind of lifestyle that I would want to provide for a family.”
Black women disproportionately use abortion services across much of the South — where access is largely set to vanish if the Supreme Court this term overturns its 1973 Roe v. Wade decision. And the consequences may be as much a risk to their economic opportunities as their health.
The Supreme Court is expected to issue a decision soon in a case about a Mississippi law that bans most abortions after 15 weeks. A draft opinion that was leaked suggests that a majority of the justices may be willing to overturn Roe.

I’m always curious about women who get pregnant while “on birth control”. Most methods, if used competently, are hugely effective, so why do so many women use “failed birth control” as their reason for needing an abortion?
She sounds pretty dumb.
Which is it?
I will amend my statement: It is extremely unlikely that a woman who regularly takes the pill can get pregnant.
She just magically got pregnant?
Bingo the pro abortion Murder Inc. always try’s to come up with a sob story to keep the multi million dollar business going fear of losing government funding ensues.
So I guess black women don’t know how to keep their legs together or use birth control? I would never have thought as a group they just don’t have any self control!
Of course Blake FarmerIdiot and Margaret Sanger would agree too.....
Those of us who were in the USAF know that what women do to get out of their enlistment contract.
Go abort your future crimms. Though in the next state over where it is legal.
“Margaret Sanger isn’t the one walking into clinics.”
Nor is Margaret Sanger the one spreading her legs for unprotected sex with all ‘da brothas’ in the hood.
Just more enrichment from “black culture”. 13% of the US population but responsible for over 50% of all murders and violent crime as well as 50% of all abortions.
I live outside Philly and went to public school in Wilmington DE.
I am very aware of their wonderful culture and actions.
They are mostly way beyond help.
Tia! God keeps calling you. Follow his plan. Look what running away like Jonah has gotten you.
Abortions for only blacks is the answer. They appear ok with this path forward. No more black babies. Abortion for them all. That would be racist … or would it.
I see it every day during my commute on the Metro rail. It begins about 1 block from where I board the train and continues for another 2 blocks after I exit the station.
Gee, if only black women had access to some kind of pill that would prevent pregnancy.
Black Women Have Much at Stake in States Where Abortion Access May Vanish
The blacks who are killed before they take their first breath have much more at stake while Roe v Wade is in effect.

If only we had some form of birth control available
Tia Freeman of Nashville, Tennessee, credits her two abortions with allowing her to establish a career in the Air Force and return to college using her military benefits.(BLAKE FARMER FOR KHN)
She’s queer and said she never saw herself as a mother
1. She killed two black babies, allowed one to live. So does that mean 2/3 of black lives matter?
2. She says she's queer. I guess women can now be sperm injectors for other women. I keep forgetting the laws of biology have suddenly changed.
