Black History Month

A lot to memorialize, remember and challenge

Planned Parenthood is the largest provider of abortions in the country. And over 36% of the abortions in the country are black babies, so do the math if it's primarily the poor who come to Planned Parenthood. Minority women constitute only about 13% of the female population (age 15-44) in the United States. According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute [research arm of Planned Parenthood], 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.

Interesting isn't it, that women who aren't getting a disproportionate share of dental care, or chest x-rays, or pap-smears, somehow get so many abortions.

Now, I wouldn't testify or preach that Planned Parenthood is a racist organization, but only because they're doing a pretty good job of doing that with their own statistics.

Many of the medical research articles I read include race and poverty. But for some really odd reason, I can't find any breakdown by race or income of the clinical trials for mifepristone (RU-486), done in the early 1990s. Poor and minority women are often used in tests for all manner of things. For the life of me I don't know how researchers found the women who had been pregnant such a brief time in order to include them in the experiments.
