– Abortion kills more black Americans than the seven leading causes of
death combined, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease
Control and Prevention for 2005, the latest year for which the abortion
numbers are available.
Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities
(New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by
race in 2005, according to the CDC.
During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks
nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents,
diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined.
These were the seven leading causes of death for black Americans that year.
A total of 49 jurisdictions reported their abortion numbers for 2005 to
the CDC. These included all 50 states–except California, Louisiana,
and New Hampshire–and New York City and the District of Columbia. Of
these 49 jurisdiction, only 36 states plus New York City and the
District of Columbia reported the number of abortions by race.
Of these 36 states, Georgia reported the largest number of
abortions–18,325–among African Americans. Idaho and Montana reported
the fewest, 16 and 17 respectively.
Among the large states not reporting abortions by race–and thus
where the number of blacks killed by abortions is not included in the
national total of 203,991–are California, Florida, Illinois and the
rest of New York state outside of New York City.
According to the CDC, the total of 203,991 blacks killed by abortion in
2005 also does not include those aborted by "private physicians’
procedures.”
Every year since 1969, the CDC has amassed abortion data by state or
area of occurrence, requesting information each year from the 50
states, the District of Columbia, and New York City. The CDC attempts
to collect data on abortions by the age, race and marital status of
the women who undergo them as well as the type of abortion procedure.
However, the “CDC is not a regulatory agency,” Senior Press Officer
Karen Hunter told CNSNews.com. “So while we are required by Congress to
collect this information, states are not required to provide any data
to the CDC, including abortion surveillance.”
In 2005, a total of 820,151 legal abortions were performed in the 49
jurisdication that reported abortions to the CDC, according to the
“Abortion Surveillance” report, which is published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, or MMWR, for Nov. 28, 2008. (Scroll up to top of report)
The report states, “Approximately 1 in 5 U.S. pregnancies have ended in
abortion,” and also notes some limitations on the data: “The overall
number, ratio, and rate of abortions are conservative estimates; the
total numbers of legal induced abortions provided by central health
agencies and reported to the CDC for 2005 were probably lower than the
numbers actually performed.”
In Table 9 of the report, it states that there were 203,991 blacks
killed by abortion, which comprises 35.5 percent of all abortions
reported for that year.
Rev. Clenard H. Childress, Jr., founder of BlackGenocide.org, told
CNSNews.com that according to numbers gleaned from statistics provided
by the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion group, 1,784 blacks are
aborted each day. Also, he notes on his Web site that three out of five African-American women will obtain an abortion.
Childress said the information and sources on his Web site have never
been challenged by abortion-access supporters. “This is because they
can see that themselves, and they know them probably to be far worse
than we’re reporting. The facts come from the pro-abort/pro-choice
community,” he said.
“You want to go to a reliable source where people can’t dismiss what you’re saying,” Childress said.
“Yet the Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP, Urban League, and the
National Action Committee of Al Sharpton fail abysmally to report not
only the decimation but the health ramifications which are questionably
very pertinent and provable,” said Childress.
“It would be one thing if we were talking about something
hypothetically, but these are actual empirical proofs. … We simply want
the health issues of abortion to be discussed,” Childress added.
Susan Cohen, director of government affairs at the Guttmacher Institute, said that black women are inordinately targeted.
It is the high number of unintended pregnancies among black women that
explains the disproportionate number of black abortions, she stated
in a policy analysis, “Abortion and Women of Color: The Bigger Picture (2008),” which was provided to CNSNews.com by Guttmacher Institute spokeswoman Rebecca Wind.
