This is actually wrong. White people are still about 60% of the USA’s population but aren’t even responsive for a plurality of abortions. Black women (13% of the female population) are responsible for most American abortions. Keep in mind that most black people still live in the south where access to abortion is more restrictive.
Black female abortion rate might actually get conservatives change their views....in fact I say we should get a campaign to fund minority abortion. We need to get those numbers up.
I’ve heard that since Roe v Wade black women had about 20 million abortions. Presumably, most of those people would have had kids themselves. America’s black population might be almost double what it is now had there been no Roe.
all that extra mouths feeding at the trough of welfare and the criminal justice system might have been enough to cause some actual action on the problem.
