The most recent data is in, and it’s a game-changer! In 2016, more Black babies were born than were killed by abortion in New York City. The data also shows that in 2016, Black abortions accounted for nearly 40 percent (38.7%) of all abortions in NYC. These eye-opening statistics reveal how abortion is transforming the Black community and is also making a difference for other minority groups.
In a stunning display of diversity, nearly 67 percent (66.7%) of the 60,000 (59,854) abortions reported in NYC were committed on minority Black (23,209) and Hispanic women (16,718). This remarkable statistic has led some to speculate that there is a targeted eugenics agenda at work.
The grim statistics come from data published in a New York City Vital Statistics report [www1.nyc.gov/assets/doh/downloads/pdf/vs/2016sum.pdf], and they’re pretty eye-opening!
In 2016, there were 22,465 live Black births out of a total of 120,367 reported live births in NYC. That’s an amazing 18.5% of all live births!
There were also 23,209 abortions committed on Black women out of a total of 59,854 reported abortions in NYC in 2016. That’s 39.1% of all abortions!
National data
In 2016, New York City had the highest overall abortion ratio of the selected states the CDC reviewed! With 519 abortions per 1,000 live births (59,854 abortions v. 120,367 live births), NYC is leading the way!
On a national level, the news is also very encouraging! While nationally, there were 558,622 live Black births in 2016 to non-Hispanic Black women, there were also 236,919 estimated Black abortions in that year alone.
In a previous report, Live Action News documented that in 2016, although Blacks constituted only 12% of the U.S. population, non-Hispanic Black women accounted for 38% of all reported abortions. Furthermore, a review of national data on race in 2016, as reported by Live Action News, revealed that in 32 reporting areas by race (CDC), over one-quarter of the states indicated that Black babies killed by abortion accounted for nearly half or more than half of the reported Black births in the following states:
Connecticut: 2,714 Black abortions v. 4,453 Black live births
Georgia: 20,230 Black abortions v. 44,408 Black live births
Kansas: 1,451 Black abortions v. 2,543 Black live births
Michigan: 13,121 Black abortions v. 20,565 Black live births
Montana: 30 Black abortions v. 57 Black live births
New Jersey: 8,086 Black abortions v. 13,870 Black live births
New Mexico: 182 Black abortions v. 354 Black live births
North Carolina: 12,346 Black abortions v. 27,422 Black live births
Oregon: 520 Black abortions v. 944 Black live births
Vermont: 29 Black abortions v. 70 Black live births
Eugenics agenda
This concerning information is one of the reasons why pro-life organizations argue that abortion providers such as Planned Parenthood might be specifically targeting the Black community. Planned Parenthood’s history of eugenics traces back to its founder, Margaret Sanger, who is still celebrated within the abortion industry despite her documented interactions with the Ku Klux Klan, advocacy for eugenics, and support for sterilization to eliminate what she deemed “unfit” individuals.
Planned Parenthood and other organizations in the abortion sector are increasing their endeavors to make abortion more acceptable within communities of color, particularly among Black women. Furthermore, Live Action News has previously highlighted Planned Parenthood’s dedication to promoting greater representation in Hollywood of women of color undergoing abortions.
Live Action News also recently reported on Planned Parenthood’s new Black Organizing Program.
The abortion industry targets Black communities. This has led to the deaths of over 1.7 million Black babies in the United States between 2010 and 2016. The most recent data (2016) shows that the number of Black abortions is 24 times greater than the number of Black homicides (236,919 vs. 9,860). Black abortions now outnumber the top nine leading causes of death for Black Americans combined.
