Today I was handed an anti-abortion flyer as I was walking to catch and bus and I was reading some facts concerning when the different body parts of a fetus develop, how early the heart starts beating, how early the fetus responds to touch etc. and then I came upon fact number ten which is something like this:
80% of planned parenthood clinics are located in minority communities. Then they provided a website called blackgenocide.org which says this on the front page:
"The purpose of this website is to reveal the disproportionate number of black babies exterminated by the abortion industry in America.
Although black women constitute only 6% of the population, they comprise 36% of the abortion industry’s clientele. The leading abortion providers have chosen to exploit blacks by locating 94% of their abortuaries in urban neighborhoods with high black populations.
This high rate of abortion has decimated the black family and destroyed black neighborhoods to the detriment of society at large."
This group actually blames the high rate of abortion for destroying the black families and neighborhoods, rather than blacks' family values, family planning skills, disrespect for the institution of marriage, crime, welfare, laziness etc.
Isn't the fact that so many black women decide to have abortions a good thing? They already have so many children that they can not afford to take care of, and they already rely to such a large extent on welfare, so wouldn't outlawing abortion be a catastrophe for the black community and the entire United States?
Most of the black women who get abortions are not capable of coming to reasoned decision on whether they should get pregnant or not given their financial situation. If abortion is made illegal, the fact that they will be required to carry a pregnancy to term will not act as any sort of incentive for safe sex or preventing pregnancies because most blacks are not capable of being deterred from having children in any way. They are already are so poor, have such a low marriage rate with such a low amount of financial support from husbands, and they are popping out babies at such high rates which creates such a tremendous drain on our welfare system and taxes. Do we really want to outlaw abortion for black women? Think of how catastrophic the situation would be, they would be in even worse poverty, and the children would be even more neglected, creating an even more destitute and crime-ridden black underclass. This would be devastating for blacks and devastating for EVERYONE.
If abortion was made illegal, would you be willing to accept these consequences? Would you be able to accept that a huge chunk of the women who are forced to keep their babies would be black? It would be like a state-sanctioned population EXPLOSION.
What are your feelings on this?
