72% Of Babies Aborted In Mississippi Are Black, Even Though Whites Outnumber African-Americans In The State 2:1

 


In late April or early May, a federal appeals court hearing is expected to face arguments regarding a lawsuit
challenging a 2012 law that could potentially close the only abortion
clinic in Mississippi. However, with such strict abortion laws and a
larger white population of 2-to-1, black women account for 72 percent of all abortions.


According to data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 1,646 black abortions and 451 white abortions were performed in 2010.

These abortions are defined as legally induced as performed by a
licensed clinician (a physician, nurse-midwife, nurse practitioner, or physician assistant) that is intended to terminate an ongoing pregnancy.
The U.S. Census Bureau estimates that the population of Mississippi for 2012, was 2,986,450 — whites
comprised 59.9 percent, or 1,788,883 persons.  Blacks comprised 37.4
percent of the population, which equals 1,116,932 persons — totaling a
671,951-person difference in population. The rest can account for
Hispanics, Pacific Islanders, and Asians.   
There is also a high rate of abortions among black teenagers; however, no
study has been done do determine a direct cause. According to The Huffington Post, “poverty and a lack of attention given to teenagers at high risk for
teen pregnancy could be potential causes for the high abortion rates
among African-American teens,” said Rachel Jones, a senior research associate at the Guttmacher Institute.
However, there is still not enough information to correctly determine why there is such a disparity. Take a look at the chart below to see the abortion numbers and percentages for white and black women in Mississippi from 2000-2010.

Deuteronomy 28:
56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set
the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness,
her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her
son, and toward her daughter,

57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward
her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of
all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy
shall distress thee in thy gates.

58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written
in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord Thy God;

Lamentations 4:
3 Even the sea monsters draw out the breast, they give suck to their young
ones: the daughter of my people is become cruel, like the ostriches in
the wilderness.

Jeremiah 44:7

Therefore now thus saith the Lord, the God of hosts, the God of Israel; Wherefore commit ye this great evil against your souls, to cut off from you man and woman, child and suckling, out of Judah, to leave you none to remain;
