Then why are abortuaries typically located in lower-income areas? Why are 35% of abortions done on Blacks when they only make up 11-12% of the population?

Why is there air? Why is grass green and the sky blue?? Let me start deconstructing your argument with the first question

Then why are abortuaries typically located in lower-income areas?

Abortion clinics, like gas stations, grocery stores and post offices gotta be located SOMEWHERE. Some are located in lower income areas to be closer to prospective clients who live in those areas, just as some are located in more upscale areas to be closer to prospective clientele that live in THOSE areas.

Why are 35% of abortions done on Blacks when they only make up 11-12% of the population?

Same question back at ya - why are prisons disproportionally filled with black American inmates?? Perhaps, as a partial result of their environment and their "role models", they are committing a disproportionate share of the crimes!!

Is this your opinion or do you actually have some facts to back it up?

I don't have facts at my fingertips, waggle, but I have seen any number of news stories on television and in the papers that address this very issue and they have stated that, based on their research, black Americans are less likely to adopt than any other single ethnic group.

How are these fact "non-related"? And why question Dr. King's comment? You seem to conveniently ignore what Nixon actually said.

Not at all, I ascribe Nixon's comments to the opinion of one person - Nixon. That doesn't mean that I share that opinion or that I agree with him. Nor, by hysterically screeching to the press, can any rational person generalize his comments across racial boundaries and make them apply to all persons of a given race, creed, religion, hair/eye color or diet!!! People with access to the press say stupid things all the time, it doesn't mean that those things are true or that they apply to everyone.

All you have offered is OPINION while ignoring the history of abortion in America. Have you considered that the collapse of black families coincided with LBJ’s welfare programs and Roe v. Wade?
