I'm guessing that the large % of PP in minority neighborhoods reflects the general lack of access of minority women to reproductive health care. I'm a bit skeptical about the statistic of more black babies aborted than born. It could be true, but it rings more like propaganda than fact to me.
I'm guessing that there's a reasonably strong correlation between income/wealth and abortions. I can think of a number of hypotheses why this would be the case.
I believe, however, that the trends line for # of abortions is falling.
I'm just curious, IF you were made King of the world with absolute power, would you force women with unwanted pregnancies to carry to term and deliver?
What about if the woman was a very poor single mom with 4 children already? What about if a prenatal screen found serious defects in the unborn child, such as a defect that would make it's life miserable and short but would impose significant medical care costs on the parents? What about if the parent was a poor, single mother?
I understand you oppose abortion, but I'm just trying to understand how dogmatic you are about it, or if you allow that there are circumstances where you (as absolute powerful King) would allow it, or if your proscription against it would be universal.
I would pose the same question to others who are staunch anti-choice advocates.
(You may have already answered this in another post, if so, forgive me.)
Fwiw, the stats came from New York, an unbiased report. I'll try to find and link it.
To answer shortly and bluntly because I'm lazy, I view abortion as murder. I cannot support it, unless it is necessary for the mother to live (ie, giving birth will kill her).
