CDC: Black abortion rate triple U.S. average
Charleston (WV) Daily Mail ^ | November 1, 2011 | Don Surber

Posted on 11/01/2011 8:03:51 AM PDT by Mustang Driver

Adjusted for population, the abortion rate among black women is roughly triple the national average. Citing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention statistics, Cybercast News Service reported that African-Americans account for 36.5% of the nation’s abortions while making up 12.6% of nation’s population.

Views among African-American leaders on abortion are split.

President Barack Obama is a long-time advocate of abortion,who in the 2008 said he did not want to see his daughters “punished with a baby” if they became pregnant at 16.

Republican Herman Cain is against abortion under any circumstances. He has attacked Planned Parenthood, the nation’s largest chain of abortion providers, as targeting and marketing to black women.

Say what you want about Herman Cain, but he is shedding light on this issue. Thank God.

The obvious question is:

“Is this due to the easy availability of abortions in Black neighborhoods, or is this due to the inability of Black ‘mothers’ to make wise decisions?”

Or, is this a nefarious plan to reduce the number of blacks, or is this simply a response to a market demand? I suspect the latter.

I’ve never understood the Dem’s desire to kill future Dem voters.

Not quite. There are still black people in this country.

Regardless - the root cause is the welfare state destroying the traditional black family.

The endless flood of illegals more than makes up for it.

Why hasn't this same state destroyed Asian, European, Hispanic and other White families? If the root cause is truly the Welfare system; one would expect similar reactions across all races and cultures, wouldn't you?

I submit that the root cause lies in 'Black Culture', where they worship living the 'Gangsta' and 'Thug' lifestyle, where 'Ho' is a compliment, getting away with a crime is something to be admired, and continual discontentment is maintained by claming 'victimhood'. This culture requires no effort, no education, and no effort to actually 'earn' money - emphasis is placed on remaining ignorant, and getting everything 'free' that you can - whether it is stolen, or a welfare check, makes no difference at all.

You don't see this same of 'ethics' in many Asian, European, Hispanic or othe White cultures. In these cultures; the concept of 'honor' actually has meaning, however this concept is dimminishing in the Hispanic culture in the past generation.

The culture to which you refer actually came after the welfare state,

and I believe the left intentionally targeted the black population (community organizers or whatever they were called back then) for dependency, because they viewed them as inferior sub-humans incapable of thinking for themselves.

The culture I'm referring to is alive and well in Kenya and a large portion of Africa. Not much Welfare going on there. It's not unique to America - you see it in Nigeria, Haiti, and pretty much anywhere you find a large Black population. It's a culture of laziness and victimhood.

Seriously, I hadn’t heard that the hiphop culture was pervasive in non-American countries.

I’ve met some Africans that vehemently keep their kids away from American Black culture.

“Margaret Sanger’s dreams have come true....”

Yes they have. The collective stupidity of rank and file leftist serfs never ceases to amaze.

“I’ve met some Africans that vehemently keep their kids away from American Black culture.”

There is a real divide there.

It’s not hip-hop, per se; it’s an attitude of selfishness above all else. Worship of force, violence and theft, gang affiliation ahead of morals or ethics. Where people flock to warlords, whether they be a local gang, or a regional military force.

Where predatory behavior is considered strength and a virtue, where ‘honor’ has no meaning at all. Nigeria, Zimbabwe, Haiti, Somalia, South Africa, Sierra Leon, Nambia, Liberia, Jamacia, Ghana - the list goes on and on. Want to see desperation, poverty, misery and oppression? Take your pick. Despite international aide, none of these countries has ever advanced itself; the aide has been stolen by anyone with the means to steal and hold the aide; no consideration is given to help the less fortunate. Never has happened, never will.

When you mix a culture that worships laziness and selfishness and mix it with a Gov’t program that promotes dependance without self-reliance; you will have a natural melding of causes.

But, it’s not the Welfare state that is the root cause; it’s a Black cultural issue.

Perhaps their reasoning goes beyond something like future votes.

They didn’t mention the white numbers or latina numbers. I would guess that whites also are over represented in the abortion numbers and that latinas have an extremely low number of abortions.

Could it be that black girls have more abortions because they are more sensitive to being labeled “welfare mom”? THat is the stereotype, isn’t it? When people say “welfare mom”, I don’t think they have a mental image of a mexican girl.

Just a thought.
