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.

Margaret Sanger, divine goddess of Planned Parenthood, lives.

When I was a kid, my family was considered weird because we voted Republican and most of our dads were in the military, but today in the area I live in, we fit right in with the others of hispanic ancestry because most of them are in the military and vote conservative/republican-there is still hope this will all come around right (pun intended), I believe.

“The average woman today is pretty much required to have sex without marriage or even a stable relationship.”

LOL... and I thought I knew what ridiculous meant... LOL!

You are among very good company - and I pray that more people will start listening to you and people like Dr. Cosby, Jesse Lee Peterson, Ward Connerly, Larry Elder, Thomas Sowell, Steve Perry....the list goes on and on.

There is, in this climate of the most dangerous weapon of war against our freedoms, the Stealth Weapon: PC, no way there can be 'dialog' between the Black Liberationists and the white community. Anything a white may say can and will be construed as racist - the person will be cut off, labeled and, most likely, loose their job = therefore, they dare not speak honestly.

The modus operandi of the Black Liberationists/Separatists is: "Whitey: Sit down, listen up, shut up and PAY up."

The only dialog at the juncture would be dialog between the radicals and people like yourself, although it will still be difficult as they also use the Communist tactics on you by labeling and sidelining you as "Uncle Toms"

These people don't want dialog. They want capitulation.

I am in awe of people like you who are wise enough to see the truth, have the heart to truly care about the people caught in this velvet cage of liberal double-speak, and brave enough to speak out.

The average guy will usually just go elsewhere if he doesn't get some within a month or so

Why would a woman of virtue WANT one of these "average guys"?

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.”

I would think that your paper could also extend to most abortions no matter what race the person belongs to. When boys/men are raised to believe that there is a way out and that they no longer are responsible what do we expect?

Planned = Premeditated

“parenthood” = Infanticide

Yup. Sanger’s “plan” was that within a few generations, the United States would be an all-White upper-middle-class Socialist utopia. Lower-class White ethnics, Blacks, and other “race mongrels” were to be bred out of existence. As I told my former fiancee, who was of mixed race, if Sanger had had her way, she, and most of her family, would never have been born.

You’d be surprised. There are still men — mostly religious men — who respect sexual morality. Woman have a choice.

Shockingly, the MSM (or at least Rupert) did not suppress this.

“liberal policies that perpetuate the slave mentality.”

Unfortunately, as per the socialist goal, we will all wind up on the new “plantation”. Regardless of skin color.

Just imagine being black and having a Bush/Cheney sign in your yard. You get alot of double takes when you are out doing yardwork.

LOL! I can just imagine what a wicked source of amusement that was-one of my cousins is married to an Air Force officer from Puerto Rico she met when they were stationed together in California. She told me whenever he was driving their SUV with the Bush/Cheney sticker on it, at least one other driver would do a double take and run over a curb when they saw that he was black.

Margaret Sanger wanted to eliminate Blacks, Irish Catholics, Jews and other undesirables (from her perspective).

She liked Adolph Hitler and wanted to learn more about Nazi practices in Eugenics..

An evil woman who proudly established Planned Parenthood.

Any time you remove an alleviation for the consequences of a choice, you’ll get less of the choice

As a general rule, perhaps. But if one of the cures for a sunburn on your arm was amputation, and you removed that "alleviation", would people change their behavior toward sunburns?

This isn't Russia, contraception devices (condoms, the pill, IUD, etc) are readily available and cheaply. People who are too dissolute to worry about pregnancy before abortion was illegal are not going to be worrying about it after it becomes illegal.IMO (methinks there something awry about that "factoid")
