You are right. I used to date a very religious black woman but she could not see that abortion was wrong. Most of the children in her family(sisters, cousins, etc.) were fatherless and the women had abortions frequently. All of the women(except for my girlfriend)had multiple children with multiple fathers. They all voted Demorcrat and wouldn't think of changing.

The decline of the black family encourages otherwise good-hearted and religious people to accept abortion, IMO. When you see a 20 year woman pregnant for the third time by a third father, relying on public assistance to support herself and her children, it is very tempting to see abortion as a neccessary evil or even as a good thing. In addition, there is perception along many blacks that a black baby put up for adoption would languish in foster care, and there is the reality that there is a shortage of intact black families willing to adopt.

The main issue is to change the culture of sexual irresponsibility. Black women are not more blood thirsty than their white counterparts, however we tend to put ourselves in situations where an abortion would be a serious consideration. Reduce the number of teen pregnancies and unwed pregnancies among blacks, and the abortion rate will plummet, and those blacks babies born will have a real chance at a good life.

Amen to all of that. That's where the Culture of Life comes in. If Blacks--and all of us--would turn away from sexual vulgarity, promiscuity, and divorce, and embrace traditional marriage, family, and children as a blessing, not a curse--many of the problems of the inner cities would go away.

A society of intact traditional families doesn't need government help--and that's why the government gives people incentives to break up.

In the real world, black women see ranting against contraception as not living in the real world. Black inner city women have terrible problems with irresponsible males.
