Abortion is racist genocide in action

Study: Abortion Most Consequential Issue Determining Socioeconomic, Demographic Composition of United States
by Dr. Susan Berry 11 May 2014, 1:57 AM PDT post a comment
A new study has concluded that, while largely ignored by the scientific community, abortion is undoubtedly the most consequential issue determining the socioeconomic and demographic composition of the United States.

The study, conducted by Dr. James Studnicki, professor of Public Health Sciences at the University of North Carolina, and colleagues Sharon J. MacKinnon and John W. Fisher, utilized data from the 2008 national summary of pregnancy outcomes, which indicated that 64.6% of all pregnancies ended in a live birth, while 18.4% ended in abortion.

According to the national report, the overall pregnancy rate for non-Hispanic black women (144.3 per 1000) was 65% higher than the rate for non-Hispanic white women (87.5 per 1000). In addition, black women have an average of more pregnancies in a lifetime (4.3) than white women (2.7).

In 2008, while 69% of white pregnancies resulted in a live birth, only 49% of black pregnancies led to live births. The abortion rate for white women was 12.4%, and the rate for black women was nearly three times higher, at 35.6%. Thus, despite a higher pregnancy rate than whites, black pregnancies are much less likely to result in a live birth, largely because of their dramatically higher abortion rate.

I'm anti-abortion. Castration of men is cheaper and less traumatic for women. Not really a race issue, more a gender one.

[mistermack]

Yes, it is genocide, if you count a fetus as a person. Which it ain't.

I'm not sure how it gets to be racist though. I'm assuming that the pregnant woman is the same race as the aborted fetus. They usually are.

Studnicki said his research makes the following points in a completely valid and objective way: Abortion is not contraception, but the termination of a developing life; induced abortions account for more years of potential life lost than all other causes of death combined; and the black abortion rate and rate of years of life lost to abortion is more than three times that of whites.

“Why is a year of life lost to abortion less valuable or worthy than a year of life lost to cancer, heart disease or diabetes?” Studnicki asks. “Remember, this nation routinely spends billions of dollars annually for therapies which may extend the lives of terminally ill patients a few weeks or months.”

“Why is this gigantic racial disparity ignored while others such as diabetes mortality, childhood obesity, and geographical proximity to fresh foods (none of which have a fraction of the mortality consequences of abortion) are constantly in the news and attract vast amounts of programmatic resources?”

Why? Because measuring abortion in terms of years of potential life lost is fucking moronic.

The point is the racial disparity involved. I told you long ago that Margaret Sanger, the founder of Planned Parenthood was a racist and eugenicist and that PP still follows her notions of aborting "defectives" from society, which is why they locate most of their abortion facilities in black and minority neighborhoods.

What did you told us so?

[JimC]

By my calculations, black women are averaging 2.15 pregnancies leading to live birth, while white women are achieving only 1.76 pregnancies leading to live birth.

Scarcely the stuff of genocide of black Americans via selective abortion...

Women of any race may have the same issues of poverty, lack of resources to rear children or a fear of loss of personal freedom with excessive numbers of children to rear. If black women are having, on average, more pregnancies, they are simply using abortion as a tool to reduce their overall birth rate. Effective contraception would be a better method for many reasons, but any port in a storm.

Racist genocide this is not...

[cronus]

Let's start an abortion thread.

[JimC]

I'd rather abort this thread...

[mistermack]

which is why they locate most of their abortion facilities in black and minority neighborhoods.

Seems to me that there is more demand there anyway, and the rent is less.
Would you set up a butcher's stall at a vegan conference?

And if someone's supplying what I want, who cares why they do it? There are very few compulsory abortions these days.

[piscator]

Liberty=choice. How can a Libertarian reject individual freedom of choice?

[Svartalf]

Because he's a closet religious pro lifer

[laklak]

OK, we got abortion and religion, how about we add guns to the thread?

Or maybe Broadway musicals. I love a good musical.

[Seth]

Liberty=choice. How can a Libertarian reject individual freedom of choice?

Because that particular decision, at some point or other, involves initiating force upon someone else.

Which is beside the point, which is that PP is a racist organization that springs from the poisonous tree of racism and eugenics and has put on a gloss of faux-concern about women's rights to conceal it's rather more prosaic and cupidinous agenda which involves making lots of money and killing black babies by the truckload.

Even leaders of the black community happen to agree with me about the horrible effects of PP's activities on black families and culture.

For every abortion there is a man somewhere who for his pleasure put a woman in emotional stress enough to seek a abortion, Seth. The initial impetus is a man and the answer is to seek errant fathers and love-rats who have not provided the emotional support and cut their gooleys off. Won't need to happen much for the majority of men to read the signs and provide supporting structures for their women so they can be complete women in every measure.
