What Is The Leading Cause Of Death In The African American Community?
AIDS? Heart Disease? Cancer? Violent Crimes? Accidents?
The correct answer is Abortion.
The fact is that more African American babies have been killed by abortion during the past 27 years than the total number of African American deaths from all other causes combined.
Approximate number of African American deaths since 1973:
AIDS 203,695
Violent Crimes 306,313
Accidents 370,723
Cancer 1,638,350
Heart Disease 2,266,789
Abortion 13,000,000
Here are the facts:
Abortion services have been deliberatly and systematically targeted toward African Americans. A disproportionate number of the nation's abortion clinics are located in minority neighborhoods.
(The Destiny of the Black Race, Carlisle Peterson; Planned Parenthood)
35% of abortions in the United States are performed on African American women, while they represent only 12% of the female population in the country.
(US Centers for Disease Control Abortion Surveillance Report 7/30/99; US Census Bureau)
The abortion rate among married African American women is 4.4 times greater than it is among married white women.
(Centers for Disease Control National Vital Statistic Reports, Vol. 47, No. 29)
According to the 2000 Census, Hispanics have replaced African Americans as the largest minority group in the US. The loss of 13 million African American children through abortion has played a significant part in this population decline.
