The racial aspect of abortion

When we look at abortion and its statiscis, abortion is a racist institution. That's not to say that all of those who support abortion are racists. Looking at many of the founders and locations of where abortions take place there is a racial motive. It has everything to do with the simple, undeniable reality that in the United States, abortion kills minority children at more than 3 times the rate of non-Hispanic, white children.


According to the most recent census data, black women make up 12.3% of the female population in America, but account for 35% of all U.S. abortions – that according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). The Guttmacher Institute (AGI) puts the percentage of black abortions at 37% of the U.S. total. Similarly, AGI tells us that Hispanic women account for 22% of all U.S. abortions, though they make up just 12.5% of the female population. Compare those numbers to non-Hispanic, white women, who make up 62.6% of America's female population, but account for only 34% of all U.S. abortions.

Looking at the location of the majority of Planned Parenthood's abortion clinics, they are located in communities with minority populations that exceed the city or state averages. This can merely be seen as an extension of the eugenic principles that seem to have driven Planned Parenthood's founder, Margaret Sanger, a founder who is documented as saying, "We do not want the word to go out that we want to exterminate the Negro population." This statement, was written in a 1939 letter to a colleague. The facts of what abortion has done and how it is being used as a racial weapon is seen in its Statistics and what it has done to the culture.
