The racist founder of Planned Parenthood, Margaret Sanger, would be pleased. I think it is despicable that innocent children are being murdered in the womb, no matter WHAT race.

..."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).

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.

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.

Or put another way, there would be more low income young Americans from broken homes needing low wage low skill jobs. So the illegal immigrant “solution” to America’s employement woes would not be needed. And there would be the same number of Democrats.
the government is somehow encouraging abortion to wipe out the black race.
There are people in the government (liberals) and judging by this thread, even some Freepers who wouldn’t mind if that actually occured.
I find that extremely hard to believe. There are lots of other easier means of contraception out there.
I just wish that the people in some poor black communities would just wake up and break the chain that is in constant motion. I personally feel that some politicians(namely democrats) like to keep minorities uneducated, totally dependant and poor just so they can manipulate them. They also don't mind offering an unlimited supply of abortions to these communities so that they keep their numbers in check. It is sick!
If these statistics don't wake people up out of their stupor I don't know what will.
If your culture had been told for generations by liberals that your present condition is not due to anything YOU are doing or deciding, and everything to do with what another group is doing or has done to you,
you’d tend to make irresponsible decisions too.
Right you are-and the bastards are STILL hoping all of us who are of racial/ethnic minority background will either be aborted or on their welfare plantation someday. It hasn’t worked quite as well with hispanics, though-maybe because most of us are Catholic. The real racists/white supremists in this country are the leaders of the democrat party.
I would say a big “WRONG” to your assertion.
“Liberals” & leftists are Blacks’ worst enemy, and even worse, under the guise of “helping” and “compassion”.
I always though that the “father on the door step with a shotgun method” worked well.
You’re referring to “white people” or “[insert here] people”...
What CULTURE is promoting this behavior?
Traditional Western culture, or some other culture?
Don’t count on these babies growing up to actually fill a minimum wage position.
They’ve been inculcated with the idea that welfare is the preferred choice.
It’s amazing that black activists like Sharpton, Jackson and Obama support using Medicaid to fund poor black womens’ abortions. It’s self-imposed genocide. What nitwits.
Might be some that truly are racist,
but many, like me, are more “culturist” than anything.
In other words, its the behaviors that we don’t like, not the melanin content.
Word
Any time you remove an alleviation for the consequences of a choice,
you’ll get less of the choice. It’s inherently logical.
I believe it.
It just is not that obvious!
ACTUALLY IT IS
But I don’t want to digress. I did a paper in Eng 111 about the root cause of all of the ills in the black community. It is “fatherlessness”. Fatherlessness has a negative effect on graduation rates, crime rates, teen pregnancy and poverty. It has become a viscious cycle in my community. I feel like so called black leaders are wasting energy chasing law suits when all of our resources should be spent on promoting the black family unit. In 1890 over 80% of all families were headed by married couples. In recent years it is only 38%. What happened? The New Deal, Welfare and down we went. It is time we stop being slaves to this government and stand on our own two feet.
Judging by the trend I have noticed on FR in the past few months - I suspicion FR has been widely infiltrated by liberals
wow, good thing we are not liberals
Abortion is a symptom of social decay and not the disease itself.
The average woman today is pretty much required to have sex without marriage or even a stable relationship. The average guy will usually just go elsewhere if he doesn't get some within a month or so. Contraceptives aren't 100% effective or used properly so these women often end up pregnant with no good path to choose.
Thank you femnists and the sexual revolution.
