And there's more on the site.










Ahem.


Its funny that the same people who claim through some ass-backwards logic that because AIDS kills more blacks than whites, it must have been `invented' _to_ kill Blacks; and yet, they can't see through those same Libtard glasses that abortion was legalized to kill Black and Latino babies.

Your mom should have aborted you.

 

[Dirty Shoez]

Didn't see that one coming.

Im just messing with you Mr.

heee

http://www.abortiontv.com/Misc/AbortionStatistics.htm#Age Group & Race

This site shows it even clearer.


Why Abortions Are Performed

* The overwhelming majority of all abortions, (95%), are done as a means of birth control.U.S. Abortion Statistics, U.S. State abortion statistics, by Race, by Age, Worldwide abortion statistics, teen abortion statistics

* Only 1% are performed because of rape or incest;
* 1% because of fetal abnormalities;
* 3% due to the mother's health problems.



And then there's the thing about Blacks having well over 30% of the Abortions, despite only representing around 12-13% of the population.

But, Genocide? No way! This is Freedom at its best! Hopefully those damn fundamentalist right-wingers don't ever get their way and stop this righteous act from legally taking place.




Edit:

Err....that site is just a TAD BIT biased. Here go a more neutral one:

http://www.policyalmanac.org/culture/archive/abortion_statistics.shtml

"In the 41 areas for which race was adequately reported, approximately 55% of women who obtained legal induced abortions were known to be white, 35% were black, and 7% were of other races; for 3% of the women, race was unknown"

 

[Lamberto Quintero]

Oh, so outlawing abortions is really meant to help minorities. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

 

[2-0-Sixx]

Assuming those numbers are in fact true, I think it may have to do more with money than race. If the tables were turned and blacks on average made more money and exploited whites for centuries, perhaps whites would be more likely to have abortions (again, assuming the numbers are correct).

Usually a woman aborts because she’s not ready (mentally, physically and most importantly financially) to raise a child.

 

[Dirty Shoez]

^^ So in other words, its almost never because the baby would harm them, or because they were raped, etc. Thanks for making my next point for me

The numbers are all too real, and it has nothing to do with money. Latinos are just about as broke as Blacks, and yet, Blacks are having so many thousands more abortions, despite both representing about equal percentages of the population.

This is a brainwashing campaign. The Left-Wing, supposedly Pro-Black Cabal, really wants Blacks wiped off the face of the planet. This is true. In fact, just answer yourself this one question that really illustrates it: Which is more likely to cause Black deaths: A Republican-Lead War, or a Democrat-sustained 'Right' to Abortion? --- The numbers are not even close.

"You're too poor to afford a child", their nonsense goes. They accuse Conservatives of fear-mongering, and then here they go, using typical Libtard tactics to scare someone into believing that if they have a child, they will be poor and broke for the rest of their lives. And it is sickening.

Countless sociology classes point to money and family structure being the motivation for abortions.

 

[Dirty Shoez]

Good for countless sociology classes. Whatever reasons, over 90% of the time, it is because they just plain "don't feel like it". VERY rarely is it because of potential harm to the mother, interfamilial coitus resulting in germination, etc. Most abortions are cop-outs.

 

[m.w.merlino]

What makes you think you're in a position to judge 90% of abortions?

most "latinos" are catholic, have a mom and dad and are imagrating to america everyday and come here poor

 

[Raider Rick]

I KNOW OF A DUDE IN THE OPEN THREAD FORUM THAT SHOULD REALLY READ THIS...LOL

 

[Dirty Shoez]

Its a poll, sport. I cannot "judge" what is already there in black and white.

If you don't like the results, go do your own poll. Its a free country.

most "latinos" are catholic, have a mom and dad and are imagrating to america everyday and come here poor

Your point being what exactly? That without Catholocism, Blacks are even more prone to Liberal brainwashing and being driven to get abortions?

Thanks...???

It has nothing to do with the actual poll results. You took the results and applied your own personal views on the situation.

So crowd the orphanages?

There's so many kids out there who never knew their parents. Went from home to home. Maybe they turned out all right. Poor conditions. I guess in the long run it's better to lead a bad life than no life at all.

Poor people can't afford to raise a child, so it's either abortion, adoption or trying to raise the child themselves. There's no conspiracy to wipe any race out going on.. It's just that too many people rush to get an abortion. That's their choice. You're saying that they've been brain washed into believing that it's the only choice, or their best choice? Well, let's say they stop choosing abortion and they adopt out. There's now a lot of children looking for homes. There's already a lot of those. Yes, there should be more funding for adotion agencies. I just don't see a conspiracy in the numbers. I see a sad reality, but no evil inner workings.

Thing is, there should be more options. Education on how to prevent, and to help situations already in the works. Sometimes things happen even when you used every precaution. In a world with so many childless couples who would love to adopt, they should spend more money in that area.

 

[surcaliman]

what a trip how many hispanic women have abortions..while at the same time the majority of them are catholic....hypocrites like a mutha...i bet they go to church the following sunday.

Looks like someone has no clue what the word Elective means.

Go look it up, re-read this entire thread, and then get back to me. Thx.

Ahem.....

This isn't a matter of not having money. That is a blatant misconception that is spread by Liberals and propagated by the Liberal media to keep the poor's numbers low, seeing as though they are predisposed to being Religious and Conservative. (I'm not joking around here)

They run around all day long talking about how the government is underfunding this and neglecting that, and the net result is that people just NATURALLY ASSUME that help is not available and they cannot afford to raise children.THIS IS A LIE!

If Liberals would spend HALF the energy they spent on terrifying people into getting abortions, and instead put that energy towards RESEARCHING the amount of money and aid and help out there, and spreading THAT information...maybe Blacks wouldn't be getting 30+% of the abortions.

Then again, thats what Blacks get for being 90% Democrat: Massive self-genocide that you believe is for your own "betterment". -- It won't be long until Blacks are pushed out of every single job in America but Sports and Entertainment. Because there'll be plenty of other people who will do the job, and for less, and work harder, and won't bitch about the pay.

Thing is, there should be more options. Education on how to prevent, and to help situations already in the works. Sometimes things happen even when you used every precaution. In a world with so many childless couples who would love to adopt, they should spend more money in that area.

Strong Families are the key. Not any of this other crap. Ask Atheists, even. They'll shit on everything: Actors, the Media, Religion, Schools. The one thing they cherish the most is, guess what...Families. They don't celebrate Christmas, but when they get those days off, guess who they go visit? Their Family!

Putting money into Adoption is a mixed signal. Putting money into abortion is a HORRIBLE signal. Putting money into Families is the only way to go.

 

[CannibalCrow]

Ok, so put money into families. Abortion doesn't need to be the main option. So a poor family has a child, and they are doing their best to raise the child. If it's not enough, they turn to the government for help. So now they're expecting another child..

The message should be that the family should be helped up, so that they don't need the support of their government. Is the initial financial support for the family to help them afford the new baby what you're talking about? Funding for family programs to pay for bigger homes for new parents, and to pay for the extra food and child care items? Basically government funds or tax money to go into Families to support their children? And what if they have another, and another..? Is there a point where they would have to fly on their own?

What sort of programs do you imagine would help build Strong Families? Programs to help the parents find good work.. to train them.. to help them manage their lives so that they can be good parents? Programs to help them raise their child(ren) independent from assistance?

blah blah blah , liberal bad , blah blah blah brainwashing liberal bad bad blah blah blah

Thanks...???

point is we are a diffrent culture "latinos" are still closely tied to their country theres alot of dads who feel pressured by family,religion, and tradition to marry the girl they nock up, there is also the same pressure for women to keep the baby for the same reason even if the dad leaves.
