Abortion Rate Among Black Women Far Exceeds Rate for Other Groups
Fox News ^ | 04/09/2008 | John R. Lott, Jr. and Sonya D. Jones

..."80 percent of Planned Parenthood clinics are in minority neighborhoods."

Planned Parenthood officials did not produce a response to this claim. The organization performed 22 percent of all abortions in 2005 (260,000 out of 1.2 million abortions).

-snip-

Blacks do, indeed, have much higher rates of abortions than whites or other minority groups. In 2000, while blacks made up 17 percent of live births, they made up more than twice that share of abortions (36 percent). If those aborted children had been born, the number of blacks born would have been slightly over 50 percent greater than it was.

The comparison with whites and other minorities is striking. Whites made up 78 percent of live births, but only 57 percent of abortions. Non-black minorities had 7 percent of live births and 5 percent of abortions. If the aborted children had been born for either group, the percentage increase in the number of children born to these groups would have been less than that for blacks: 16 and 32 percent, respectively.

Data from 1973 on indicate that black women's share of abortions has consistently been at least twice their share of live births.

But not all those babies would necessarily have been born if abortion were illegal or harder to obtain. A number of recent academic studies have found that making abortion more difficult results in less pre-marital sex and fewer pre-marital pregnancies.

-snip-

In 1973, the year the Supreme Court rendered its Roe v. Wade decision, there were 11 abortions per 1000 women aged 15 to 44. Eight years later, that number doubled for the same group to 22. In terms of the total number of abortions, 615,831 legal abortions took place in 1973; 1,300,760 in 1981.

Liberals like Obama support the Planned Parenthood racists.

Obama uses the black community as a means of political support to attain power. What has Barack Hussein Obama ever done to actually advance the black community?

If you are surprised by this genocide , I would suggest your life is blessed by the absence of liberals . I have been told dozens of times by liberals their pro-abortion stance is founded on the fear of black on white crime .

The truth about Margaret Sanger

(This article first appeared in the January 20, 1992 edition of Citizen magazine)

How Planned Parenthood Duped America

At a March 1925 international birth control gathering in New York City, a speaker warned of the menace posed by the “black” and “yellow” peril. The man was not a Nazi or Klansman; he was Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, a member of Margaret Sanger’s American Birth Control League (ABCL), which along with other groups eventually became known as Planned Parenthood.

Sanger’s other colleagues included avowed and sophisticated racists. One, Lothrop Stoddard, was a Harvard graduate and the author of The Rising Tide of Color against White Supremacy. Stoddard was something of a Nazi enthusiast who described the eugenic practices of the Third Reich as “scientific” and “humanitarian.” And Dr. Harry Laughlin, another Sanger associate and board member for her group, spoke of purifying America’s human “breeding stock” and purging America’s “bad strains.” These “strains” included the “shiftless, ignorant, and worthless class of antisocial whites of the South.”

Not to be outdone by her followers, Margaret Sanger spoke of sterilizing those she designated as “unfit,” a plan she said would be the “salvation of American civilization.: And she also spike of those who were “irresponsible and reckless,” among whom she included those “ whose religious scruples prevent their exercising control over their numbers.” She further contended that “there is no doubt in the minds of all thinking people that the procreation of this group should be stopped.” That many Americans of African origin constituted a segment of Sanger considered “unfit” cannot be easily refuted.

While Planned Parenthood’s current apologists try to place some distance between the eugenics and birth control movements, history definitively says otherwise. The eugenic theme figured prominently in the Birth Control Review, which Sanger founded in 1917. She published such articles as “Some Moral Aspects of Eugenics” (June 1920), “The Eugenic Conscience” (February 1921), “The purpose of Eugenics” (December 1924), “Birth Control and Positive Eugenics” (July 1925), “Birth Control: The True Eugenics” (August 1928), and many others.

Imagine the outrage if some white guy were to announce or “claim” the corollary of this data:

Black women:
- are sluts
- can’t keep their legs closed
- are bad mothers
- kill their babies
- hate their babies
etc.

Planned Parenthood uses abortion as birth control.

Were it not for Roe there would be fully 1/3 more Black people in America and of course 1/3 more Democrat voters. The rat is eating his own.

Exactly, eugenics and genocide. Black folks are suckers for our continued support of the Democrats who favor a platform that wants to wipe us out. .... either before we are born or with liberal policies that perpetuate the slave mentality. That is one of the reasons this sister and many black people that I know have broken away. It is still not enough though.

Then he would just be another “typical white person” denying the “obvious truth” that the government is somehow encouraging abortion to wipe out the black race.

In this day and age of readily available and in many cases free contraception, there is no excuse any more. But people refuse to be responsible and are left coping with the difficult and tragic decision of ending a life.

Hope the sex was worth it.

We do not want word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population

Such human weeds clog up the path, drain up the energies and the resources of this little earth.
