I'd hardly say I was being manipulative, as I included the link to the whole shebang. We can also look at it as there are far fewer black women in America.... black Americans make up roughly 12% of the population, but have 35% of the abortions.
 
I'm not trying to take a dump on black women, or anyone else; the only reason I posted anything about black women and abortion is because that's what the topic of the thread is. In other threads dealing with abortion in general, I only posted general info.
 
And I surely hope no one is saying I'm a member of the religous right.....

This is one of the ways the religious right pro-lifers try to gain sympathy/votes from otherwise liberal voters.
I know, cause I used to be one.

BINGO!     Abortion is higher in the black community because poverty and poor education are higher in the black community (reasons we'll skip for the moment).
This is a huge plot on the side of religious right to get blacks/minority to vote in support of a moral group who in no way cares about black life/death after winning the election.   Unfortunately a whole lot of people will buy into it without questioning it any further, because it looks like the liberal supporters of abbortion rights are trying to do away with black babies given the abortion ratio among the races.   M

And I thought the problem was that liberals want to keep blacks angry and preoccupied with racism because that is the only way that they will get their vote.
