Content: 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. A
 
recent
 
study
 
released
 
by
 
Protecting
Black
 
Life,
 
an
 
outreach
 
of
 
Life
 
Issues
 
Institute
 
concluded
 
that,
 
“79%
 
of
 
Planned
 
Parenthood’s
 
surgical
 
abortion
 
facilities
 
are
 
strategically
 
located
 
within
 
walking
 
distance
 
of
 
African
 
and/or
 
Hispanic
 
communities.” vivii

the
 
mid-1900s,
 
“[argued]
 
that
 
the
 
most
 
effective
 
way
 
they
 
could
 
advance
 
their

would

to

Historically,
 
blacks
 
have
 
been
 
the
 
unwitting
 
victims
 
of
 
a
 
hidden
 
racist
 
agenda
 
of
 
those
 
behind
 
abortion
 
and
 
birth
 
control
 
organizations
 
because
 
of
 
they
 
believed
 
they
 
were
 
receiving
 
a
 
new
 
civil
 
right
 
–
 
choice. In
 
fact,
 
pro-abortion
 
forces
 
have
 
created
 
messaging
 
that
 
reinforces
 
the
 
notion
 
of
 
abortion
 
as
 
a
 
civil
 
right,
 
as
 
seen
 
in
 
a
 
2012
 
meeting
 
of
 
the
 
Congressional
 
Black
 
Caucus
 
and
 
Pro-
Choice
 
Caucus.
