The Most Dangerous Time to Be a Black Baby

Anne Hendershott:
It's never been a more dangerous time to be a black baby. While overall rates of abortion have declined to the lowest level since 1974, the Guttmacher Institute recently reported alarming increases in racial disparities between the rates of abortion for black and white women. Analyzing more than 30 years of data collected directly from abortion providers, Guttmacher found that black women's abortion rates are now five times greater than those of white women.

Currently, white women's rates of abortion have declined to 10.5 abortions per 1,000 women while black women's rates are an alarming 50 abortions per 1,000 black women. Put in terms of actual pregnancies, the figures are shocking: Nearly half of all African American pregnancies end in abortion. Since 1973, the number of abortions by African American women has totaled more than twelve million.
I would say read the whole thing, but I haven't yet. I simply couldn't move beyond that devastating line: "Nearly half of all African American pregnancies end in abortion."

May God have mercy, and may he give each of us fresh resolve to do something to stop this black genocide.
