Black Community News News and Commentary for Christians
Despite representing only 13% to 14% of the U. S. Population, Black Americans account for over 35% of all abortions in the country (http://bit.ly/2hrRecC). That 35% represents 128,682 Black Americans who were deliberately denied the freedom accorded to them by way of our Constitution and brutally murdered. And these numbers are understated.
According to the latest Abortion Surveillance report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), these numbers legally do not include the data from twenty-three (23) states (i.e., reporting areas), including California where more abortions are performed than in any other state in the United States of America.
Nor do these numbers include chemical or “over the counter abortions.” And if this isn’t bad enough, Black women have the highest abortion ratio (420 abortions per 1,000 live births). That’s almost one (1) abortion for every two (2) live births.
And on top of all of this, I’m now hearing Planned Parenthood is pushing “chemical abortions.”
ANY WAY you look it the data…
At this rate Black Americans won’t last.
Without LIFE … Nothing Matters … does it?
Walter B. Hoye II is the founder and president of the Issues4Life Foundation, the founder of the California Civil Rights and the Frederick Douglas Foundations of California, and proponent of the California Equal Rights Amendment.
Mr. Hoye, Black people have survived a lot more hell than the scourge of abortion.
And it’s worse that 13%! If we say black females are roughly 50% of the black population and the child bearing age black females cuts that number even lower, we could have 3% of of the blaack population having 35% of the abortions.
Truth is truth how many and how many ways…God help us!
Ms Hayes, no one survives the scourge of abortion. That’s the whole point. A person has an abortion, and the baby does not survive.
All this “at so many weeks” stuff is just smoke. The true target of any abortion is that fully-formed, often perfect baby they know will be coming in nine months, that they don’t want.
In every abortion, one baby doesn’t survive. In every abortion, her own mother is saying that her life doesn’t matter.
Old white woman here. We have got to try to change hearts and minds to this tragedy! This brain washing has been around for a long time. It was happening when I was in school which is quite some time ago!
May the Good Lord have Mercy on us all!
