Abortion in America is a multibillion-dollar industry run primarily by doctors working in or near black communities. It is estimated that these doctors gross up to $60,000 a week. If there are no changes to America’s current policies and lifestyles before the end of the century, abortion will significantly reduce America’s over all population growth and will decimate America’s black families and communities.

President Obama’s recent pronouncements indicate that he will try to continue the dangerous abortion policies of some past administrations. For example he has directed that Planned Parenthood be given tax payer money to extend its abortion services to the rest of the world.  

Planned Parenthood was founded in 1916 by Margaret Sanger. A few years later she created the “Negro Project,” under the guise of a “birth control for health” campaign. In reality, this program’s purpose was to reduce the number of black births.

Sanger viewed Negroes as being racially tainted and inferior. In her 1932 “Plan for Peace” Sanger wrote concerning Negroes that she was in favor of, “a stern and rigid policy of sterilization and segregation to that grade of population whose progeny is already tainted.”

Since then abortion has become a scourge to America, but especially to the black community. For example, in Detroit there are eleven abortion clinics. According to Michigan Right to Life, nine have mostly black clientele or are located within black neighborhoods. Poorly informed, confused and conflicted young black women are being preyed upon by a profit driven professional abortion industry.

So because Planned Parenthood started off targeting pregnant black women, most of its abortion clinics are still located in or near black population centers – the result is that African American communities are inadvertently being targeted and black babies are being aborted at a horrible rate. In 2004 the United States was home to approximately 40 million African Americans. If you were to add the approximately 15 million black babies who were killed through abortion in the previous thirty years, in 2004 America’s black population would have been around 55 million.

According to the Department of Health and Human Services in 2004 over 450,000 African American babies were aborted. This compares to 165,000 African Americans who died from all other causes combined, including cancer, heart disease and HIV/AIDS.

Updated census reports show that African American women are 4.8 times more likely to have an abortion than white women. In 2004, there were 161 abortions per 1,000 white women performed in America, compared to 472 abortions performed per 1,000 African American women. It is estimated that women who have an abortion, experience a suicide rate six times higher than women who carry their babies to term and are sixty percent more likely to later miscarry later in life.

It used to be that we African Americans were the second largest ethnic group in America, but now 1,400 black children are aborted every day and which has dropped to third. If abortion keeps the black population rate as far below replacement levels as it does, by the end of the century black Americans as a percentage of the American population will have shrunk dramatically.

The 1973 Supreme Court ruling of Roe v. Wade unwittingly became part of a move that has significantly reduced the number of black Americans in our nation. Its specter is aided and abetted by President Obama and by pastors and political leaders who, though perhaps well-intended in their own minds, still champion the scourge of abortion.

Fortunately there is still time for America to restore respect for life and the human and constitutional rights of all races that it has refused to accord in the past. But that will not happen unless the nation reverses its abortion policy.
