Trending & News The short answer, although the question is somewhat provocatively phrased, is yes. In fact, black babies in general fare far worse than any other racial demographic when it comes to abortion.
While comparative data is hard to come by in terms of the number of abortions compared to, say, homicides for example, it is true that at a ratio of 474 abortions per 1,000 live births, black women have the highest abortion rate of any female demographic in the United States. Thus it is that the abortion rate for black women is almost five times that for white women.
Suffice to say, the data for black males in terms of homicides is similarly not reassuring. While black males between the ages 16 and 24 comprised only about 1% of the population age 12, they experienced 5% of all violent victimizations.
Nevertheless, when the data are compared, and there are abortion rates among black women as high as 62% in Alabama and 34% of all women nationwide, it is hard to argue that black men (or women for that matter) are any more secure in their mother's wombs than they are on the street. The data, again, argues otherwise.
Of course, there are other variables that come into play. Income level - the lower the income level, the higher the abortion rate. Similarly, illegitimacy rates play a part, though here again "out of wedlock" pregnancies are highest in the African-American community.
Interestingly, by contrast, among church going African-Americans - a population that tends heavily Methodist and Baptist - the abortion and illegitimacy rates are actually below the average not just for blacks, but for whites and indeed below the overall national average. This making the key point that it is less about skin color or other racial factors than it is about the character of the cultural environment in which a girl is raised and in which she lives.
This, suffice to say, makes a mockery of the so-called "Black Lives Matter" movement, one of whose postulates is the abolition of the traditional family unit. The data being quite clear that women raised absent that family unit are far more apt to get pregnant out of wedlock and abort their babies, both relative to other African-Americans and to the population overall.
In effect, those who imbibe the ideology that is "black lives matter," in resisting what they regard as a white imposed traditional morality, are literally rendering the lives of those on whose behalf they are nominally advocating as effectively relatively valueless. Thus more likely to be eliminated.
It is ironic, to say no more. Though perhaps tragic is the better word. The degree to which black lives matter being contingent not on their heritage or skin color, but simply on where they are in the gestational process.
Is that or near any other black males. considering the high amount of black on black violence and death
I believe it's false. I guess that's the safest place at not just for a black man, it's for everyone. Once he's born, he starts facing all the hardships that come from being black.
The point completely went over your head. The point is that a black people is a lot more likely to be aborted when compared to babies of other races.
*that a black baby
Oh, I'm sorry. Yes, I've heard about before and it's really sad.
Are u pro life?
Yes I am.

IF referring to the United States, this is statistically true.
Most dangerous place for any man. Gotta be committed
No, the most dangerous place would likely be in a war zone in active combat with hostile forces 👌
The most dangerous place for a black man is in a black neighborhood.
False, in the streets exposed to gangs, or growing up in a toxic/violent household would be more dangerous.
The most dangerous place for a black man is in his "hood" as a teenager.
Lol i know what you’re doing here. And you’re wrong
Black babies have more of a chance of being killed than other babies of other races do.
Why? Cmon spit it out
Because black women love to preach about black lives while also killing black babies? That is just my guess. I don't honestly know why black people are unwanted. Maybe it is better to ask the left as they are the people who love to kill them in the womb.
Of course it is. A black baby life does not matter when a woman has it. Women are kilelrs.
Planned Parenthood was made so that black people would abort their children so yes it is
The most dangerous place for them is most likely with the police.
Not whenever you have a 25 percent chance of getting killed if you are black and are unborn. Can you state any statistics that shows that black men have a 25 percent chance of getting killed if they are with the police?
Huh oh yeah why is that?
What? I asked you a question and then you asked me why is that? What are you talking about?
You brought up the statistics, now give me a explanation as to why black people have a 25 chance of getting killed. Are you just stating an article you read and not backing it up?
I said black babies not black people in general.
The abortion rate is 5 times higher for black women than it is for white women.
This article is from over 10 years ago. Don’t you think these have changed over the years
Okay and this guy gets his sources from 9 to 10 years ago, he isn’t grabbing at any recent studies or evidence.
The article I linked is from 2020... The first one was from 2008
Yeah and if you actually read the article, he only gives sources from 2011 and 2010.
So if I get an article from 2021 what are you going to say then?
Find an article or a study that uses recent data from maybe this 2020 or maybe 2019 since we had a pandemic and the numbers may be off.
Are you trying to say that you don't believe that more black women have abortions when compared to white women?
I’m saying that you need recent data. Times change and the fact that black women may have had more abortion the past but it’s been ten years since these studies have been done. They are outdated
You do realise that statics don't go out of date that quick.
2019 static
*statistcs
Actually you could creat a mean of women that have abortions overtime but you can’t get an accurate display of data for recent times
2019
Did you read the full article? she proceeds to go into the reasons why abortion rates are higher
Doesn't really have anything to do with what I was trying to prove. Black women get more abortions when compared to white women. Period.
But the reasons why affect the rates
Statistics don't lie.
No. The ghetto.
True.
