According to Right to Life of Michigan...
- Abortion has taken more black American lives than any other cause of death combined since 1973.
- The abortion rate of blacks is nearly 4 times higher than that of whites.
- An average of 870 black babies are aborted daily in the U.S.
- The ratio of abortions/live births for American white women is 127/1,000. The ratio for black women is 435/1,000.
Accoding to Texas Right to Life, more black babies are aborted than born in some regions.
Once again, blacks are not given equal opportunities - and in these cases, the babies are not even given a chance to live.
By killing a baby, that is a person's way of saying that the babies life does not matter, that they should not be treated fairly, and that they are worthless. Sound familiar? These babies are in many ways facing the same kind of discrimination that blacks face in society today.
Because abortions take so many black lives, it is often referred to as Black Genocide. According to BlackGenocide.org, the largest abortion provider, Planned Parenthood, was actually created by a racist hoping to essentially get rid of as many African Americans as possible.
I am in no way trying to point fingers at blacks, because I know it is a problem among all races. It is just so sad to me that anyone would kill a precious baby. Black lives matter - even soon-to-be-born lives.
Here's a video addressing the problem, if interested.

I liked how you brought up a topic I never thought about before. I feel like it would be more beneficial to the reader if you were to go into more depth about this topic so more of your ideas about it can come up and be seen. it seems like this is an example of same race racism since it is the black mother who is aborting her own child, so maybe clarifying that would make it more clear. otherwise I thought it was an interesting topic!
ReplyDeleteI didn't know any of this! I wonder why so many black mothers get abortions. Finding some information on that or even speculating on why you think they choose that path would have been a nice addition in my opinion. But you brought up some really great statistics that drive your point. I also liked how you pointed out that the black babies that are aborted face discrimination when aborted. Very interesting post indeed!
ReplyDeleteI love that you brought up this topic because it is something we haven't discussed at all yet, and it is super relevant. You were able to tie abortion and racism really nicely, and you had some great things to say. I would like to know why so many black mothers get abortions - wow. Great blog, well done!
ReplyDeleteI wonder why so many black mothers get abortions? This post left me with a question and wanting to learn more, which in my opinion is the result of choosing a very interesting topic. Good job.
ReplyDeleteThis is such an interesting thing I've never thought about before. The connections you made were really good, although your post might have been stronger had you suggested possible reasons for this discrepancy. Overall though, it was really good!
