Minority women most affected if abortion is banned, limited

JACKSON, Miss. (AP) — If you are Black or Hispanic in a conservative state that already limits access to abortions, you are far more likely than a white woman to have one.

And if the U.S. Supreme Court allows states to further restrict or even ban abortions, minority women will bear the brunt of it, according to statistics analyzed by The Associated Press.

The numbers are unambiguous. In Mississippi, people of color comprise 44% of the population but 80% of women receiving abortions, according to the Kaiser Family Foundation, which tracks health statistics.

In Texas, they’re 59% of the population and 74% of those receiving abortions. The numbers in Alabama are 35% and 70%. In Louisiana, minorities represent 42% of the population, according to the state Health Department, and about 72% of those receiving abortions.

“Abortion restrictions are racist,” said Cathy Torres, a 25-year-old organizing manager with Frontera Fund, a Texas organization that helps women pay for abortions. “They directly impact people of color, Black, brown, Indigenous people ... people who are trying to make ends meet.”

Because minority women can’t keep their pants on?

They mean minority babies.

Also, they are assuming the women won’t adjust.

In 50 years, Leftists will accuse America of racism because its government allowed, promoted and protected the disproportionate killing of minority babies.

You can’t win with Leftists.

So is the Associated Press arguing in favor of a reduction in the number of minorities born? That’s what it sounds like.

Birth control and abstinence are still options.

AGAIN: WHERE ARE THE YELLOW PEOPLE IN ALL THIS?

OH...oh...they don’t do that? Oh, then I guess that won’t help our “racist” narrative.

“Abortion restrictions are racist,” said Cathy Torres, a 25-year-old organizing manager with Frontera Fund, a Texas organization that helps women pay for abortions.”

I wonder what Cathy Torres would call a deliberate plan to reduce the number of minorities being born.

“Minority women most affected if abortion is banned, limited”

Well, duh. The whole point of birth control and abortion rights was to reduce the ‘colored’ population.

For all the worship of Margaret Sanger it’s a shame none of these people have read her books. It’s like reading ‘Mein Kampf’ and then looking at what the Nazis did and saying, “Well, okay.”

I would have thought that this would be good news for the Dems. The permanent underclass they created will multiply. So many ballots to harvest, so little time.

Minority women were always the target of Margaret Sanger’s plan.

Eugenics

The study of how to arrange reproduction within a human population to increase the occurrence of heritable characteristics regarded as desirable. Developed largely by Sir Francis Galton as a method of improving the human race, eugenics was increasingly discredited as unscientific and racially biased during the 20th century, especially after the adoption of its doctrines by the Nazis in order to justify their treatment of Jews, disabled people, and other minority groups.

Look at their stupid graph.

Now tell me, how do those #s pair up with the demographics of those states?

Uh huh.

Depends on how many blacks you have, and how many whites, etc. AZ has hardly any blacks - so “latinos” win the prize of most-aborted!

MS has a whole lot more blacks than latinos - so there you go.

Look how many lily-white states are dominated by whites killing babies!

So it’s not racist, you troglodyte. Unless you’re worried about white Wyoming women losing their “rights”!
