"Are you claiming that black women are being forced into abortion ? If not , then how is `` genocide `` being committed if they themselves are choosing abortion ? By the way , the rates of abortion in whites vs blacks are similar to the rates of teenage pregnancy between whites and blacks . From http : //www.teenpregnancy.org/america ... sp ? ID=3 & amp ; sID=20 , there is a roughly three times higher rate of teenage pregnancies among black women than among white women ( 153/1000 vs 55/1000 ) . From http : //www.abortionfacts.com/statistics/race.asp , the abortion rate for whites is 12/1000 while it is 31/1000 for black women . Note , the 1000 refers to 1000 women of child-bearing age ( or 1000 teenage women in the case of teenage pregancy rates ) . Since there is a much higher rate of teenage pregnacny among black women , it makes sense that there would be a much higher rate of abortion among black women . So , the main question is `` Why is there so much more teenage pregnancy among black women ? '' . I would think that poverty is a main reason . African Americans started off poor because of the legacy of slavery and stayed poor for ages because of unbridled discrimination . The last few decades have produced enormous changes in laws and practices governing discrimination . Unfortunately for African Americans , just as they were gaining more freedoms from discrimination in law and practice , socio-economic changes in the US made it more difficult for anybody who was poor ( black or white ) to get into the middle class . However , I hope that more African Americans will be able to take more advantage of those opportunities that they do still have to advance to higher levels ( in education , sports , etc . ) ."
"Ok , I 'm going to have to question your statement as far as this post goes . I really do n't like the fact that you brought out , how African Americans , abort because of poverty , and low education . But white people abort for different reasons . That is basicly what you said . I find that to be an insult . My cousin , was not poor , nor was she uneducated when she had her abortions . As well as my sister . I think that is some kind of rasist idea that alot of people like to keep as regards to black people . Because I never saw you pin a reason , on why white people abort . But in your mind its understandable . But WOE ! To the uneducated black folks ! Then you go on to state that black people should in fact take advantage of the higher education , and sports provided for them . By that statement , it seems to me as if you 're implying that black people do n't take the oppurtunity to benefit ourselves . Need I remind you , that black people are leading in the sports world . And that there are thousands of black people who are taking advantage of higher learning . And what is your advice for those who are white , who lead uneducated lives , and abort because of being poor . Believe it or not , there are alot in that situation . So do n't you dare classify one race . And assume , they are uneducated , and poor . Thus they have abortions . Expecially since I see that with people of all races . It seems to me like you never took that into consideration ."
