Blacks comprise about 12 percent of the US population, yet Black woman are sold roughly 25 percent of abortions. (Strange, since Black women are more opposed to abortion than are their white sisters.) But most disturbing is this fact: Black women account for at least 50 percent of known abortion deaths. (Of abortion deaths identified by Life Dynamics, Black women accounted for 50 percent of deaths in which the race was known; a CDC study found the death rate among Black women to be even higher.)
This bears repeating: A young Black woman is twice as likely to be sold an abortion as a young white woman, and once she gets on the abortion table, she is at least twice as likely to suffer fatal complications as a white woman.
[Emphasis added.]
So, I hope that this gets shouted from the rooftops, all around america, so that black women can know how loved and cared for they are by the Pro-Choice lobby.

The thing is, the really vocal pro-choicers are usually liberal white men and women who don't have abortions. It's all well and good for them so long as it's a theoretical "right" they're fighting for... they've not dealt with the ugly reality of it. They've not felt the pain.
somehow, this message never gets out to those who need to hear it most.
(Would you consider linking my site to yours?)
I have heard that since Roe was decided, some 9 million Black babies have been murdered by abortion.
Don't we call that . . . genocide?
I once brought up Sanger's racist views in a class discuion, the shit hit the fan and I NEVER HEARD THE END OF IT. I lost any hope of civil treatment from the professor.
Darrel, they may or may not be getting abortions, probably just the Pill and the morning after pill. These liberal white folks do not go forth and multiply, they are disapearing fast. Where are New York's electoral votes going they should ask.
