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.

“abortion didn’t destroy the family unit ... the great society did ...”
Oh I more than agree with you on that but abortion also had a hand in it.
Paul VI’s ENCYCLICAL LETTER HUMANAE VITAE. It’s amazing this guy saw it coming.
(Over one hundred fifty years later black communities provide voting plurality to the Democrat party and adopt their Pro-Choice sacrament of abortion.)
🔝🔝🔝
“If you want to both limit abortions and limit government coercion, tell these women that the only way they’d be eligible for an EBT card and other welfare benefits after several kids is to voluntarily consent to a sterilization. “
What about the MEN? Sorry I have to ask but several years ago a man in Tennessee was in child support court. The guy was the father of 29 children (that we know of) by several women. The judge had his gravel tied in that he could not force the man to be sterilized or stop having sex because he could not pay for all his kids.
Some of the women were only getting 52 cents a month because that is what it came to.
At that point, castration.
Simple solution to that problem: give them a choice of A. paying child support in full, B. going to jail for non-payment, or C. opting out of B by agreeing to have a vasectomy.
“Daddy” would be a great reason to bring back the old New England stock.

Lock the guy in the stock for a few years—it would keep him from having any more kids.
Lol.
Went back and check up on that guy.
In 2009 this story broke, here was the 2012 update.
https://wreg.com/news/tn-man-fathers-30-kids-but-cant-support-any/
“Desmond Hatchett is pleading with the state of Tennessee to help him pay for child support.
With 30 kids, who could afford to pay child support?
Yes, 30 children by 11 different “baby mamas.”
Desmond explained how it all happened, well you know what we mean, “I had four kids in the same year. Twice.”
The children range in age from toddlers to 14 years old.”
“opting out of B by agreeing to have a vasectomy.”
For that to happen it needs to be written into our laws.
Is it though?
That's kinda funny. I wonder if we knew the same gal back in the 80s? Five kids, 5 fathers.
One was a white kid. The others were black, Hispanic, Asian, and Native American.
It's like she was trying for the whole set!
Nice letter.
Does it ever get published?
You might also point out that black *females* only account for roughly half the black population. So that’s about 7% of the population accounting for 25% of abortions. Ouch.
There’s an imbalance in there somewhere...
Thanks. One year it got published by World Magazine, but overall, I have to settle for annually irritating a couple dozen people on editorial staffs.
“World Magazine”?
I subscribed to a ‘World’ magazine back in the 70s. Same one?
Keep irritating those editors!
It is news magazine with a strong Christian bent but has lot of stories well researched and not seen elsewhere.
Life News needs to find headlines where they can.
