Minority women constitute only about 13%

of the female population (age 15-44) in the

United States, but they underwent

approximately 36% of the abortions.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute,

black women are more than 5 times as likely

as white women to have an abortion

On average, 1,876 black babies are aborted

every day in the United States.

This incidence of abortion has resulted in a

tremendous loss of life. It has been

estimated that since 1973 Black women

have had about 16 million abortions.

Michael Novak had calculated “Since the

number of current living Blacks (in the U.S.)

is 36 million, the missing 16 million

represents an enormous loss, for without

abortion, America’s Black community would

now number 52 million persons. It would be

36 percent larger than it is. Abortion has

swept through the Black community like a

scythe, cutting down every fourth member.” A highly significant 1993 Howard University study showed that African American women over age 50 were 4.7 times more likely to get breast cancer if they had had any abortions compared to women who had not had any abortions. by _vanglorious_ http://ift.tt/O9GfnC
