Should the media report the number of abortions so far to date., example 300,000 blacks so far in 2015 ?

    Considering the fact that the CDC reported 730,000 legal abortions in in 2011 (the last year records are available), I find it highly dubious that 300,000 TOTAL abortions were performed in total so far this year, let alone that many of one race. Since we're less than four months into the year, there likely have been no more than 250,000 abortions total so far this year.

    I think your source website is of the opinion that lying is justifiable if it gets people to do what they want. I suspect you may feel the same as they do.

    Really and your source is something that pushes "Christian" books without any backup at all.

    I've got to get a site I can put up any old thing that I like. How's this?

    Number of abortions so far to date, example, 3 blacks so far, 299997 Republicans, and 0 Democrats.

    See, wow, I got that on the web now too.

    Trust my numbers, because I've got the same backup that stupid site has.

    That's a very suspect site. The number of abortions is down considerable, probably because of the availability of the Plan B pill. If you really want to reduce abortions, fight for better sex ed in schools and better access to birth control, so that no one becomes pregnant when they don't want to be. If you are against abortion AND you support politicians who limit sex ed and companies that don't provide health insurance with coverage of birth control (like Hobby Lobby), then clearly your agenda is just to control women, not to reduce abortions.

    Here are some figures from the Guttmacher.org site- a more reliable source: "• Non-Hispanic white women account for 36% of abortions, non-Hispanic black women for 30%, Hispanic women for 25% and women of other races for 9%.[3]"

    In other words, more abortions are had by white women than black.

    Perhaps they should tell how many Republican fathers force their unwed daughters to get abortions in order to protect the family's good reputations amongst the their friends at the country club and the bank.

    Why? Do you think it would bring back any of the fetuses aborted? Do you think a group of numbers will shame the women who chose it as the only solution? The only thing I can see that it would do is give people who want to judge women who have abortions, especially if they aren't white, a chance to whine and moan.

    I agree. We need far more black people in the US so we can take over (I am not physically black, but I am spiritually black).

    No.

    That would be in conflict with the mantra of, "Black lives matter".

    No nor should such numbers be even kept.
