Abortion and Racism are evil twins

Abortion has taken a gruesome toll on the black community, killing more than AIDS and crime combined. Some 14 million black babies have been aborted since the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court Roe v. Wade decision that legalized abortion in all stages in all 50 states. That’s equal to one-third of the number of blacks living today.

By the abortion industry’s own statistics, black women are 4.8 times more likely to abort than are non-Hispanic white women. Blacks comprise about 13 percent of the population, yet have 37 percent of all abortions.

When dramatic racial disparities like these appeared in employment and education, it was enough to conclude that institutionalized racism and discrimination were present in our corporations and colleges. Why should we apply a different standard to the abortion industry?

I’m confused. Is this suggesting that doctors abort black babies more often because they seek out black mothers to perform abortions on? Or is this suggesting that black women are culturally more disposed to seek an abortion? If so, how is that racist and not just a cultural phenomenon? How is it racist for doctors to perform abortions on black women who come in to get abortions? These are not evaluative questions. I’d like to see facts. My inner sociologist needs to know.
