explain their extra large families then. certainly not being cantankerous but common sense says blacks and hispanics are NOT having the bulk of abortions.

I just took in a foster child. He’s hispanic. His mother is pregnant for the 9th time. She’s 37. Plenty more birthin’ years to go too.

I found some statistics that might be helpful here. While it's true that white women have the majority of abortions, it is a consequence of white still being the demographic majority. Black women and hispanics have abortions at a higher RATE relative to their demographic percentage of the population. It's the same issue that we see with black males committing homicide at 8 times the rate of white males. The measure is the number of acts divided by the number of individuals in the population.
