Content: Black
 
women
 
have
 
the
 
highest
 
abortion
 
ratio
 
in
 
the
 
country,
 
with
 
474
 
abortions
 
per
 
1,000
 
live
 
births. Percentages
 
at
 
these
 
levels
 
illustrate
 
that
 
more
 
than
 
19
 
million
 
black
 
babies
 
have
 
been
 
aborted
 
since
 
1973.iv
 
According
 
to
 
the
 
Departments
 
of
 
Public
 
Health
 
of
 
every
 
state
 
that
 
reports
 
abortion
 
by
 
ethnicity; black
 
women
 
disproportionately
 
lead
 
in
 
the
 
numbers. For
 
example,
 
in
 
Mississippi,
 
79
 
percent
 
of
 
abortions
 
are
 
obtained
 
by
 
black
 
women; in
 
Washington,
 
D.C.,
 
more
 
than
 
60
 
percent; in
 
Georgia,
 
59.4
 
percent; in
 
Alabama,
 
58.4
 
percent. In
 
state
 
after
 
state,
 
similar
 
numbers
 
are
 
found,
 
with
 
black
 
women
 
aborting
 
at
 
two,
 
three
 
or
 
more
 
times
 
their
 
presence
 
in
 
the
 
population. At
 
every
 
income
 
level,
 
black
 
women
 
have
 
higher
 
abortion
 
rates
 
than
 
Whites
 
or
 
Hispanics,
 
except
 
for
 
women
 
below
 
the
 
poverty
 
line,
 
where
 
Hispanic
 
women
 
have
 
slightly
 
higher
 
rates
 
than
 
black
 
women.v
 
The
 
prevalence
 
of
 
abortion
 
facilities
 
within
 
minority
 
communities
 
serves
 
as
 
a
 
major
 
contributor
 
to
 
the
 
rate
 
in
 
which
 
black
 
women
 
obtain
 
abortions. Accordingly,
 
black
 
women
 
are
 
5
 
times
 
more
 
likely
 
to
 
have
 
an
 
abortion
 
than
 
white
 
women.
