I'd like to understand the problem so we as Americans can fix it. This is obviously a big problem. I'd rather not put my head in the sand and pretend it's not true.

Someone already pointed this out: Statistics show that on a per capita basis, blacks have more abortions than whites or hispanics.
2007-03-24 11:02:53 · update #2
A number of reasons: Poor cultural expectations, poverty, lack of access to contraception, sex at earlier ages, more prevalence in sexual abuse of black children (?), different standards for childbearing and raising kids.
This is not meant as a diatribe against any race. I'm merely floating ideas about this particular statistical permutation.

That isn't true, its for teen births, not pregnancies... white girls get pregnant but have abortions. Look at teen abortion rates....that'll give you more honest statistics.

Because white mothers have more available cash for abortions.

Because whites pay for abortions.

Are you going to try and do something to change your findings?
No?
I didn't think so.
So, why do you feel the need to point that out?
Do you feel better about yourself?

Good God! I hope you don't expect these people to get jobs and work for a living do you? They have these babies so they can collect the welfare and foodstamps for them.
