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.”

Well, between them aborting their babies and shooting each other they will be minimal soon. Actually Hispanics will far outnumber them and soon we will no longer hear about blacks being of high importance because Hispanics will take that over. Then every commercial I see will no longer be blacks.

Margaret Sanger is the truth.

In 2000, I noticed that in NY City, black women were aborting just under 50% of their children every year. Recently, it was shown that blacks are around 45% (?) of abortions for their population.

How do black Pastors continue to support this sin, this evil, when their own people are killing 50% of every single generation? Even from a non-Christian point of view, that is self-genocide.

"Because minority women can’t keep their pants on?"

There's that and then there's the age of pregnancy. Basically, "equality" won't happen as long as way too many black babies are born to "parents" who aren't grown yet (as well as no father in the house).

Everything you need to know about problems with "equality" across races can be summed up in this graph of birth rates among teens broken down by race. Asians are the smartest about keeping their genes in their jeans until they're grown, followed by whites (non-hispanic). Then everybody else has trouble holding off on the baby-making till their grown.

They can just get a mRNA booster according to pfizer data it is 10% effective at spontaneous aborting pregnancies.

Maybe don’t use it as a means of birth control and it wouldn’t be that big of a deal to begin with.

Abortion itself is racist. It targets minorities, thereby reducing their population.

“they won’t be able to make ends meet” is the hollowest talking point imaginable, since the flow of Federal taxpayer funds to these people has been the incentive to HAVE the babies.....the flow of taxpayer dollars has also funded the Planned Parenthood abortion mills. SO what are we really talking about??

Kind of makes it tough to be pro-life without exception.

There are a few black pastors who are not supporting this evil and see things clearly. NOT a popular point of view and it takes great courage to say it in public.

Or maybe because so many of their men regard them as hos?
