Abortion
“More Blacks Aborted Than Born – It’s no secret that minorities make up a disproportionate number of abortions, but new statistics out of New York City shed a different light on the startling figures. According to the city’s Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, black and Hispanic babies totaled 73%, or 54,245, of the city’s 73,815 abortions in 2012. Some 31,328, or 42.4%, of the aborted babies were blacks. Most disturbingly, this equates to 6,570 more than the number of blacks who were actually born. Somewhere, eugenicist Margaret Sanger — founder of Planned Parenthood Federation of America and a staunch proponent of the forced sterilization and abortions of black and minority children — is smiling.” (Source: The Patriot Post, 2/22/13)
