It’s the family, stupid-CDC finds abortion the leading killer of African-Americans


Cross posted at The Minority Report

We have reached the point, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, where there is a full blown war going on in America. We are in the middle of a war for America’s heart and soul, a war that has implications from the coasts to flyover country, land of the bitter, God-Loving gun clingers. However, many on the Left accuse us as conservatives, of ignoring the inner city, and ignoring, in particular the African-American community. They believe that we should be promoting their increases in education subsidies that have proven to do nothing in terms of raising the quality of education, or supporting their War on Poverty that has not moved the number of Americans living in poverty by a full percent in forty years. Liberals are content to believe that their secular, big government programs and ideology are what the African-American family needs, despite the fact that the 40 years of LBJ’s Great Society have proved to be anything but great for African-American society. Once again, the true solution comes not from the village elders top down solutions, but from ground up, conservative values, including the most important value, which is the value of life.

The past couple of times that I have written, I have talked about the disintegration of American society, aided by the moral relativism of our times. Nowhere is this more prevalent than in the African-American community, where Black women are 5 times more likely than white women to have an abortion. However, this is only the beginning of the abortion holocaust that occurs in the Black community. It is not simply the fact that a disproportional number of Black women seek out abortions, but the question of why Planned Parenthood puts a disproportionate number of clinics in African-American neighborhoods. While we certainly have heard the shaky argument that the reason that more Black women have abortions is the lack of contraceptives, the real issue has yet to be discussed-that this was the vision of Margaret Sanger, noted eugenicist, Nazi sympathizer and founder of Planned Parenthood who believed that abortion was to be used to stamp out undesirable races. Ladies and gentlemen, this is not an issue of choice, this is an issue of targeted genocide.

The Center for Disease Control found in their most recent report that “Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC.  During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined.  These were the seven leading causes of death for black Americans that year. So what do we get from the race hustlers, the NAACP, the Jesse’s and Al’s, the first Black President on this issue? Deafening silence. The reason for their silence is because abortion is one of the problems, but is not the main disease. The disease is the breakdown of social, intellectual and cultural capital within the African-American community, which comes out of the breakdown of the African-American family.

When we look at statistics like the fact that over 1500 Blacks are killed by abortion each day, they are mind numbing, but unfortunately, hardly surprising given the state of the Black community. When you have 70 percent of children being born out of wedlock, with 60 percent never seeing a father, is it a surprise that this is a community being adversely affecting by the moral relativism of the village elders? These are the dark days envisioned by the Moynihan report, in which Senator Moynihan famously declared “At the heart of the deterioration of the fabric of Negro society is the deterioration of the Negro family.” This remains true today, with the high rates of homicide, abortion, drug abuse and crime within the African-American community being attributable to the lack of a familial structure that existed pre-1964, when African-Americans made the greatest progess in African-American society. It is not the village, along with the big government subsidies that Blacks need, but the a strong family and communal structure looking to lead  with good examples, rather than with good looks.

The shift in thinking is not simply with acknowledging the problem, but with offering a different solution. It is not enough as pro-family, pro-life conservatives to acknowledge that there is a disease effecting Black America, but we must be willing to step up with our own anecdote. My solution is to engage to rebuild a broken community from the bottom up, rather than top down. Marriage must be at the forefront of the community, and it is something that must be rebuilt, by encouraging marriage, rather than simple cohabitation. Mentorship programs helping fathers realize their roles within the family structure as well as church and pro-life activism seeking to include men within our ranks as positive examples of doing the right thing is infectious. Life begins at conception, but does not end there; if we are to convince more women to choose life, we must convince more men of the necessity of choosing life as well-the lives of their children. As Obama declares swine flu a national health hazard one could only wish that he could see the real health hazard going on in the Black community. One could only hope for his priorities to change-the lives of a dying generation depend on it, and all of us.

It too bad the "leaders" in the black community

bk Sunday, October 25th at 6:04AM EDT (link)

have sold out to their rich white Democratic massahs. As long as people like Rev Al have personal riches, they are more than happy to help the Democrats keep a permanent lower class that knows nothing other than 1) sucking on Uncle Sam’s teat and 2) voting for Democrats.

 

What I got from reading this:

towerclimber Sunday, October 25th at 7:39AM EDT (link)

1. there’s a political war being waged in America.
I agree.
2. Black children are being killed because of this war.
Again, I agree.
3. Our fundamental views about core values (i.e. traditional family values) play a huge role in our ability to stop these deaths.
yet again, I agree!

My question is this:

Do the folks that step up have to be black? While this is a problem that affects the darker skinned portion of our community disproportionately, it affects us all in one way or another. With the younger generation, color lines are less definitive. More and more folks are integrating in such a way as to give one particular Louisiana judge apoplexy. I think this is a good thing!
But must we all police our own ethnic group or can a conservative black guy mentor a white kid from a broken family?
Might I, as a conservative white guy, mentor and befriend a black child? in the end, children will not see the color of a person who is good to them and they love. they will however see that distinction very quickly with one who hurts them.

take responsibility nothing will ever change.

And that goes way beyond just the [insert race here] community. It goes for the community of Detroit. I just picked that one at random, you can insert the failed city of your choice. They made 95% of their own problems and they want the fed to fix them so they don’t have to. Then there’s the state of California. I didn’t pick that one at random. The problems they’ve got right now are nothing compared to the train coming down the track in the form of unfunded pension liabilities to the cities, towns and counties. Etc, etc, etc.

One on one, your mentoring example, yeah maybe. But the problems are so big that we don’t a generation or two to let that work.

One of Three black lives snuffed out by abortion

LJ "Beaglescout" Miller Sunday, October 25th at 9:45AM EDT (link)

One of Three is the kind of ratio that gets called genocide in any other circumstance. What will it take for civil rights monitoring groups to realize that one of three is always one of three, no matter who advocates for it? Is it possible for the left to ever see a thing as what it is, rather than by the identity politics involved?

JadedByPolitics Sunday, October 25th at 10:58AM EDT (link)

My question is how do WE and normally when I do the WE it is representative of Conservatives however my WE this time is indicative of ANYONE of us who recognize the genocide that is going on in the Black community do to make that community WAKE UP? I personally would have every Right to Life speaker from this moment forward REGARDLESS of color mention that statistic and NEVER let the left define them as racists because the progressive pushback will be that they are a racist. If WE truly believe this is a genocide and I do, then WE have an absolute RIGHT no an absolute DUTY to speak up and heard!

Whoever has his enemy at his mercy &
does not destroy him is his own enemy

The ironic thing Jaded and Beagle is that Blacks are far more socially conservative than the civil rights leadership

BlackConservative Sunday, October 25th at 11:08AM EDT (link)

Blacks voted somewhere upwards of 90 percent for prop 8 in California, and it is known that the feelings are at the same level in terms of abortion. The problem is when you elect a party that is in direct opposition to your morals and beliefs (see the difference in Democrats and Blacks when it comes to school choice as well). We must recruit on an economic and social level, however, and show up. This happened in Virginia, where the AG Democrat blew off the NAACP figuring the GOP candidate wouldn’t show. Unfortunately for him, our guy was sitting in the very front row and RSVPed first. Blacks are a natural Evangelical constituency for the GOP, and one that the Ds keep at armslength because our religiosity scares away the feminists and angry atheists.

Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven.-Jesus Christ

Well a lot of the keep voting for the Dems comes from no real discussions on issues

Richard Mullins Monday, October 26th at 11:17AM EDT (link)

it’s more like shut up in the Black community and agree with what we say. It happens a lot in minority communities, so those that don’t tow the line in their minds are not with them. It’s really sad too. Blacks and other are conservatives, but the must agree with us mentality is killing that. Those within the Black community need to help kill the agree with us mentality.

Bart Stupak

pilgrim Sunday, October 25th at 12:13PM EDT (link)

Great diary BC. I appreciate your bringing out the importance of this issue. I put Rep. Bart Stupak’s name in the title of comment to make a point that some may find discomforting. The point is that this issue for the right to life supporters really does go beyond Party politics.

I know how some say that for a Republican to reach across the aisle is just an opportunity to have their hand chewed off, but I do think on this issue it is not so.

Stupak is not a conservative, but he does stand with us on the issue of abortion. http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091023/ap_on_go_co/us_health_overhaul_abortion

It is a great advantage to a president, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know that he is not a great man.Calvin Coolidge

While that's nice, it's not enough.

mbecker908 Monday, October 26th at 9:14AM EDT (link)

He may appear to be “with us” on abortion, but he’s firmly entrenched in the enemy camp and frankly, I don’t give a damn about his position on abortion. He stands and supports the people who have insisted that genocide is a “right”. He’s as guilty as Dr. Tiller. The only reason I would reach across the aisle to take his hand would be to hold it firmly so I could chop it off. He deserves no cover.

Oh, and what will happen will look like this. Stupid Stupak and his buddies will force the majority to take abortion funding from the bill. Then one of two things - or both - will happen. A court will find a reason to require funding for abortion and/or congress will modify the plan in a year or two to include it. It will be part of a budget bill that can’t be filibustered and “must” be signed.

Sorry pilgrim, people like Stupak are the enemy, and even more so than the Pelosis of the world.

I stand with EPU’s declaration that obamacare will fall in the US House. The only way that is going to happen is if members who have the letter D after their name, like Bart Stupak, vote it down.

To take the position that each individual member of the US House with a D after their name are an enemy that needs to have their hand chopped off is just plain silly and defeatist.

It is a great advantage to a president, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know that he is not a great man.Calvin Coolidge

You give this putz a pass on his support of Marxism because he’s a pro-life (sort of) Marxist.

Will Obamacare fail in the House? Not likely. They’ll pass something. And then they’ll modify it to get to where the far left wants it.

He's right. The democrats built "concrete plantaions."

archer52 Sunday, October 25th at 12:14PM EDT (link)

As soon as the Democrats figured out how to garner the votes of black America by buying the votes with programs, the black family was doomed. The worst offense is the hypocrisy of the democrats claiming love and compassion for the blacks they were paying off, but in reality didn’t want them anywhere nearby. This is why they built the projects, or as we like to call them “concrete plantations.” Do you think a lower income black family lives anywhere near the Kennedys? Never. And it is never to be if they have their way. The blacks are in existence for one purpose, returning democrats into office again and again. To their own shame, the blacks in America eagerly agree to this devil’s bargain, killing off their own sense of initiative and responsibility.

Now, black America is facing not only the challenge of how to get away from generations destructive behavior, but they also face the fact they are no longer the chosen minority. Hispanics are the new up and coming minority and voting block. It took a little time for the black leaders to see the writing on the wall and they don’t like it one bit. It is a horrible thing to witness when you see the light finally pop on over someone’s head. Yep, you got played, and it will be interesting to see, as the Democrats spend what little money we have left on courting the Hispanic vote, how the blacks will respond.

This internal war is going to throw off some fireworks and may result in a very low black turnout. Oh, they aren’t capable of changing parties, there are far too many generations of habits to break there. Still it will be interesting to see what happens when the fracture occurs inside the black voting block as the blacks who have made it up the economic ladder realize they have little in common with those who are content to stay on the dole.

how many people living in projects vote

mom2oneson Monday, October 26th at 9:39AM EDT (link)

for a Senate race? I’ve lived there and I never ONCE heard a political discussion even something remotely close to one. The closest came to some campaigner leaving a flyer at my door about a free bbq in a nearby park. I don’t think most would go pack up the kids take the bus. Unless it’s at a church or firehouse within walking distance or something.
I understand this idea but apart from Obama I really wonder how many people living their vote? I’m not the great judge of how politically minded people are sorry if I sound like that. That is one thing about Obama he did that I wish McCain did is he gave people a vision of life under him and assumed the sale or the vote, People were ready to take action after listening to him.
Apart from this recent election If there is support of the democrats it is with the older families that do have a husband, father and are not in projects. It’s the men working 2 jobs to support their families are the ones I hear political conversation from.

mom2oneson Monday, October 26th at 9:47AM EDT (link)

I definately now see what Achance called the “dependent class” support for democrats though. Some way either with SCHIP and EITC and/or foods stamps or section 8 there are a lot of people not in projects but dependent on gov aid that are for the dems in general and this is with both whties and blacks. I almost fell over when I was tlaking with a friend about Hilary vs McCain and abortion how awful it will be and she said but I think she would do more for us. Of course it is not automatic I’ve never been a dem but I do see the connection. Archer you are SO right too about them not wanting to be near a black family or anything. They don’t even understand the real issues facing people or what help is already avaia;ble but they are making these decisions, so dumb.

One of the arguments against abolishing slavery pre-Civil War was very similar: Most slave owners don’t mistreat their slaves. They were adequately cared for, that all slave owners shouldn’t be punished for the actions of a “few”, yada, yada, yada.

How is that argument dissimilar to what Democrats were saying during the Civil Rights Movement or today with their “love and compassion”?

the slaveholders are Black and Latino. They hold plantation down and but down dissent. When there is someone that opposes them, the Agree with us mentality shut down the opposition.

I think we shouldn't use the slave comparison

mom2oneson Monday, October 26th at 12:10PM EDT (link)

Because it’s a slap in the face to people who are slaves and secondly we are sort of like the other side not seeing people with choices. Much harder or more difficult than someone else in different circumstances does not mean no choice. I know I’ve gone ’round and round on this board about this but people still make decisions and can make good or bad choices no matter their circumstances. Even in bad circumstances some choices will make things harder than necessary. The slave comparison also does not call out character traits that may lead to worse circumstances like laziness or no perserverance.
I get what y’all say that social programs lead to that but I still say people have choices. Getting food stamps or EITC or an apartment does not force people into illigetimacy or robbing stores or not visiting the library.
Iit sometimes has shocked me as I’ve gotten older when I see how easy some people seem to have it financially from their own parents and I sort of see the so called “disadvantage” that is talked about but we need to see people with what resources they have around them. BT Washington wrote about how the families lived on ground that could grow every type of vegetation but they grew cotton up the house walls and bought pork (or something unhealthy) at the store. I see a lot of resources - especially human and educational resources when I lived in the projects. If they are good or bad there are A LOT of tax funded educational resources available like book mobiles, libraries, pell grants, JTPA, TRIO, daycare assistance, food stamps to eat that people can utilitze.

Now dear your explanation is a slap in the face of those that didn't hop on board with this

Richard Mullins Monday, October 26th at 12:33PM EDT (link)

so being PC on this isn’t going to help. The agree with Us mentality is quite the same as slavery except that they are not property. Gone are the days of Fredrick Douglass and others that prided themselves for not being withholden to the government. It’s no secret that those area run by the New Slave holding class, have high unemployment and more crime. We need to be color blind society but we can’t PC on the way to that.

It's an enslavement of the soul, Mom2.

Achance Monday, October 26th at 12:44PM EDT (link)

The young black in the doughnut city has no more vision of any other kind of life than did the young black in the slave quarters a century and a half ago. He or she has no more vision of escaping that life than did the slave in the quarter seeing only dogs and whips should he or she try to escape.

I saw the same lack of vision in Alaska’s rural villages when I worked with the Bureau of Indian Affairs. The Native village in rural Alaska is just as doomed as the 12 mile towns and clan communities of the rural South, but the death of the village is made longer and more painful by the villages’ being kept on the life support of State and federal aid. There’s no economy, no jobs, and no future, but people don’t have a vision of living any other way or any other place. Not suprisingly, alcohol and drug abuse and suicide are rampant.

And finally, I grew up with that same lack of vision in the rural South with my parents and many of their peers. My parents and their peers were stuck somewhere in the late ’40s, early ’50s, were comfortable there, and they weren’t about to change a thing. I watched the World simply pass them by and doom them to an ever diminishing life style and relevance and respect in the community. It caused a terrible relationship between me and my parents by high school. I wanted nothing to do with keeping up the place, working in the store, going to their church, participating in all the reunions and other family rituals. By that time the primary ritual was going to funerals. To this day, death and dying seem to be the only growth industry in my little town. As soon as I got out of high school, I ran like Hell as did most of my peers, but the old folks just sat there doing the same old stuff, thinking the same old thoughts, and as the result of that mindset and the loss of all the youth, the town just spiraled down into insignificance even as those around it prospered relatively. Simply lack of vision or as my Dad once said to me as we argued about his continuing to try to duke it out with his small store agains WalMart and his wanting me to help him financially, he said of the life he was living when he could be retired, “I’m satisfied.”

It appears to me that these people whose souls are enslaved are satisfied because they simply don’t know how to live any other way.

as long as young blacks portray making good grades as “acting white,” blacks will stay on the Dem plantation…

as long as single mothers (of all colors) get a bigger check and an apt for having children without benefit of husbands, blacks will stay on the Dem plantation…

as long as black proponents of change, such as Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas and yourself, continue to be vilified as “Uncle Toms” and “hankerchief heads”, blacks will stay on the Dem plantation…

as long as young black kids are provided ready made excuses for failure, i.e. “whitey done it to me” and “I can’t get ahead without government assistance,” blacks will stay on the Dem plantation…

as long as professional race baiters like Al, Jesse, Jimma Cata, Henry Gates, etc are given credence and a platform, blacks will stay on the Dem plantation…

For a very good compendium of black progress up until the “Great Society” (for instance, blacks had a LOWER rate of illegitimacy than whites) and the destruction of the black family afterwards, read Thomas Sowell’s “The Vision of the Annointed”.

Liberal social policies have decimated black families to a far greater extent than slavery ever did. The Klan couldn’t have instituted programs with more ominous results for black families.

The only logical conclusion one can draw is that the Dems purposefully keep the race kettle brewing and the entitlement train rolling to keep blacks feeling helplesss without them…

Especially when no white statistics are included in the article for context. I read that Russian women have far more abortions. As long as the State takes care of you in a moral vacuum you will probably feel like you can’t afford another kid. People have abortions for economic reasons, period.

BC-I posted a story about the black abortion stats and btw added a link to your post here and on your blog. A commenter left this link. I went to check it out, the documentary seems inflammatory and still (from what I saw) excludes the black community from any responsibility. It’s all victimology.

To get the full picture of Black Genocide watch a new film called: Maafa21 – short clip here: http://www.maafa21.com

Have you seen it or are you familiar with it? Read the comments.

 

BC - great diary

azred Tuesday, October 27th at 8:40PM EDT (link)

However, the emphasis on the black community should not hide the broader picture. Based on census data extrapolated from 2000 female population and projected with a constant demographic growth rate to a total est pop of 300M, 1 out of every 184 white females age 14-50 will have an abortion every year. 1 out of every 51 black females age 14-50 will have an abortion every year. Yes, the black abortion rate is 3.5 times higher. But is the comparison to genocide accurate for only black communities, or is really economically depressed (and dependent) communities, which are certainly higher proportionately black? Being a numbers guy, I like to see what the underlying stats show. IMHO, this really indicates a primary and secondary finding. Primary, which you have pointed out in the black community, is the destruction of the family. But the destruction of the family is not an exclusive black problem. It is a general societal problem. What just saddens me is the the numbers of 1 out of every 130 combined has an abortion every year!!! And that’s the reported numbers! I’m sure drilling down more, the metro city areas will be beyond ugly.

 

Personally, this is news to me

marshmom Wednesday, October 28th at 12:14PM EDT (link)

Growing up in the South, blacks here are praised for having children, no matter what their financial or social situation. There are many who try to get pregnant in high school and don’t think it’s a big deal at all–mainly because they know they can get assistance from the fed gov’t and that there will be someone available (aunt, grandmother, mother, etc.) to take care of their children. If they have to drop out of school, that’s fine with them too.
I’ve never known any black girl to have an abortion because the ones I know are always TRYING to get pregnant. The ironic thing is…….they are also very “socially conservative” when it comes to things like gay marriage, etc, but having babies out of wedlock is a-okay. As long as they know that there will be a paycheck for each baby, they will keep having them.
I wholeheartedly agree with what Achance said about it being an issue of “enslavement of the soul”. What has caused them to be repressed, the democratic party has convinced them has “freed” them, or vindicated them in some way.
I don’t believe in the murder of babies in any color, race, or creed, so the story is a sad one and the even sadder thing is that the “poor”, whether white, black, hispanic, etc. are being lied to, manipulated, repressed, and coerced by the democrats but they’ve been made to believe these things are all associated with the GOP, so they are almost always very strictly anti-Republican.

BlackConservative, great diary and I totally agree that the breakdown of the fabric of the family in this country is the main contributor of most of our country’s problems.
