A Culture Mired in Callousness

The human cost of the high black abortion rate.

I write before Christmas, but our first African-American president should have been sworn in and the inaugural festivities completed by the time you read this. On a more somber note, an auxiliary bishop in Washington has drawn attention to something we don’t hear enough about: the terrible toll that abortion has taken on the black population.

A recent report by the Guttmacher Institute shows that black women now have abortions at five times the rate of white women. Among the 1.2 million babies aborted in the U.S. each year--at least it’s down from 1.6 million in 1990--37 percent are black, 34 percent are non-Hispanic white, and 22 percent are Hispanic.

“As an African American, I am saddened by evidence that black women continue to be targeted by the abortion industry," said Bishop Martin Holley. "The loss of any child from abortion is a tragedy, but we must ask: Why are minority children being aborted at such disproportionate rates?"

An answer of sorts was given years ago by the Black Panthers, a militant group (since defunct), who were vehemently opposed to abortion. When New York State legalized abortion in 1970, the Panthers warned that the “oppressive ruling class” would use the new law to unleash a black “holocaust.”

It’s hard to recall that many black leaders were once pro-life, among them the Rev. Jesse Jackson. “There are those who argue that the right to privacy is of a higher order than the right to life,” he wrote in 1977. “But that was the premise of slavery.” By dismissing the importance of abortion, he also said, we were in danger of becoming “a Sodom and Gomorrah.” (He wouldn’t dare say that today!)

Alveda King, a niece of Martin Luther King Jr., remembers when Jackson went around the country “calling abortion genocide.” She said, incidentally, that two of her famous uncle’s grandchildren were aborted. Other abortion opponents at that time included Julius Lester, Dick Gregory, and H. Rap Brown.

Bishop Holley says that abortion is the leading cause of death for blacks, with 13 million abortions so far. That is one-third of the present African-American population. With most Planned Parenthood clinics concentrated in inner cities, it is reasonable for Bishop Holley to believe that blacks are being targeted.

 How things have changed. In the 1960s, activists forced the closing of a Planned Parenthood clinic in a black Pittsburgh neighborhood and threatened riots if it were reopened. In Cleveland, a family planning clinic was firebombed and several others were closed in response to threats.

It is said that Jackson changed his position when he ran for president. Maybe, but there was also something else. The leadership realized that a black/feminist coalition would have the votes in Congress to deliver taxpayer dollars to constituent groups. Since then African American and women’s groups have stuck together, and there hasn’t been a peep about abortion from the Congressional Black Caucus. Dissenters like former Rep. J. C. Watts refused to join the caucus.

Maybe President Obama will pay attention but my guess is not. The issue just doesn’t compute for him anyway. Most blacks will vote for him whatever his position on abortion. But without his support on the issue, the feminists would turn on him.

Rhetorically and in every way, the “pro-choice” movement today is dominated by feminists. Their code words are part of our political discourse: “reproductive rights,” “reproductive freedom,” “reproductive health needs.” These are the pro-abortion euphemisms of our time. The Panthers, with their ruling-class talk, seem almost clear-headed by comparison. Today’s activists are within the citadel and what they demand is money and still more money. I personally would love to see the blacks turning against their feminist overseers, with whom they have so little in common. But it won’t happen. The black leadership has been showered with programs and money and sees no reason to change.

The underlying problem is the collapse of the black family--a consequence of the welfare that black leaders support. The self-interest of leadership groups is in this instance at odds with the interest of the rank and file. Publicity about group victimhood will fill coffers and help the bosses, but the rank and file will suffer because victimhood, whether real or imagined, is never beneficial to those who must play that role.

In 1950, about 15 percent of black children were born to unmarried mothers, but by 1965, with millions of new jobs available, that had increased to 24 percent. Fatherlessness was undermining the family. Warnings by Sen. Daniel P. Moynihan and others were attacked as “racist myths” and “blaming the victim.”

Since then, the black family “has unraveled in ways that have little parallel in human cultures,” Kay Hymowitz wrote recently. About 70 percent of black children are born to single mothers today, and before birth they are a constant target for abortion.

Obama gave a Father’s Day speech lamenting the fathers who are missing “from too many lives and too many homes,” and told of the price he had paid for growing up without a father. Yet Jesse Jackson lashed out and actually said he would like to castrate Obama.

Reagan's Ghost| 2.11.09 @ 7:50AM

Whenever one throws in with evil, evil takes over. There is not a compromise with evil, except ALWAYS on the part of what is good and right.

Those rare few minority race hustlers that actually recognized what Planned Parenthood founder, and eugenisist Margret Sanger actually admitted - that abortion was for the purposes of controlling the numbers of minority races in America - have compromised so with the evils of liberalism that they are prisoners of its wickedness and can no longer represent what is good and righteous. Evil owns them.

At some point, with a wicked communist semi-blackish president, and shrinking numbers as a race, especially in comparison to Hispanics,
blacks have sold themselves back into slavery (which, ironically, is how a good many of them got into America as slaves to begin with...sold by their own race)and will suffer a backlash against the arrogant, PC-bullying attitude white guilt has encouraged them to adopt. A people that lives on hand-outs and table scraps are slaves.

“As an African American, I am saddened by evidence that black women continue to be targeted by the abortion industry," said Bishop Martin Holley."

So that's it...and here I thought black men were just too hypersexual and black women just a bunch of hoe's...afterall, it CAN'T be thier own fault now can it?

Crusader| 2.11.09 @ 8:20AM

Greg, you're right--you can't be targeted by the abortion industry if you're not pregnant. The problem with the American victim mentality is it addresses symptoms and not the cause.

Rick Josey| 2.11.09 @ 8:34AM

Reagan's Ghost is correct. "A people that lives on hand-outs and table scraps are slaves." And it looks like we are all headed for the plantation.

America is becoming socialistic. Newsweek's cover article says we are all socialists now. The Big Government "Nanny State" is on its way...if we don't stop it. And abortion is population control, from the top down. The liberals pushing for bigger government have been passing out taxpayer-funded condoms, especially among the black students. The group that has supposedly championed "civil rights" believes that those who are on their way into this society, via the birth-canal, have no right to life. They are terminated, because they are unwanted. Unwanted by both the slaves and the plantation owners. What a wonderful, compassionate society we have become.

America, the land of the free?

Give me liberty.

Any discussion of the tragically high abortion rate among black Americans must always be paired with the following question:

Why do blacks continually give >90% of their vote in national elections to the Party that directly supports the infanticide of black babies???

Somewhere, in hell, Margaret Sanger is laughing.

And don't look to the Apprentice-in-Chief for guidance on this horrific issue - he considers unwanted pregnancy to be a "punishment" that he wouldn't want his own daughters to endure, should the situation ever arise.

Any abortion is a tragedy...But the systematic elimination of millions of black babies since 1973 is nothing short of genocide.

wes| 2.11.09 @ 10:23AM

Yes, they have been targeted. First the nuclear family is destroyed, thank you "Great Society", by setting up social program requirements that force the exclusion of the father from the home to obtain any sort of legitimate assistance. When the father is gone, who will raise the boys to be men? When the sense of pride and idependence gone and the one influence that, by force if needed, taught restraint of base urges - promiscuity, crime, acceptance of low standards of conduct -
a new slave class is created and kept in bondage.
And, as the Bishop stated, targeted. Dismiss these conclusions, but there was no spike in crime amongst blacks during the tough times of the depression years. Fathers are a stabilizing influence. That is why the left has attacked the nuclear family and sought to destroy it or at least lower it's standing.

Louis Jenkins| 2.11.09 @ 11:11AM

If we are pro-life we are against the black population, but if we are pro-choice we support them? Or vice versa? So to be a socially conscious individual and affirm the justified struggle for black freedom you must support the abortion of their off-spring. Choke on a gnat and swallow a camel. The rhetorical left wing argument brands pro-life supporters as white supremist, of the same ilk as the KKK's hanging of blacks in the 19th-20th century. In reality pro-lifers cannot support wholesale murder. Who has the moral high ground here? Now it's time for the "who will support all those unwanted babies (?)" lamblast.

ed moran| 2.11.09 @ 12:51PM

Given their ideological roots in Margaret Sanger's eugenics, what is about Planned Parenthood and their prominent location in downtown Black communites you DON'T understand?

Gerard E.| 2.11.09 @ 2:04PM

As the Obama Administration stumbles and bumbles, as President Obama and President 1A Geithner make further excuses about the economy and the need for more Porkapalooza bills, this issue will come up. It may emerge in a few pockets. It may be seen in women's magazines sold on supermarket shelves. It may be fueled by an increasing number of Baby Boomer women who have reached menopause with childlessness. The President's erstwhile ally Oprah Winfrey may devote quality air time to victims of abortion. But it will happen. And much of that anger will be triggered within the African-American community. How amazing that Mr. Bethell quotes Black Panther activists predicting a 'holocaust.' Proof that a stopped clock is right twice a day. When it happens, every single Democrat in any position of authority in Washington will be on the griddle. This is not Europe. We will not bury our feelings on the matter.

Marc Jeric| 2.11.09 @ 2:42PM

One universal law still holds: You get what you pay for. So if you pay for children without a father you get 75% of black children born as bastards. What's a poor black girl to do? Work from time to time as an $8/hr maid or beget children who bring her $800/month each, food stamps, and free apartment and utilities? With 6 such bastards she can join the middle class. We paid for that and that is exactly what we got. That such children without a father become criminals in large numbers is another "benefit" of such compassion. Our Abu Hussein from Kenya, well educated by Alinsky, Ayers, and other "thinkers", is engaged in more of the same type of compassion.

Africa Unite| 2.11.09 @ 3:05PM

The whole thing comes down to birth control. Adultry, lack of abstinance, underage. Example being set for the young. Teenage magazines with the wrong message.

Womens magazines should be banned, all it promotes, is fashion, has no content. Women should read the Economist Magazine, New Scientist, magazines with content.

Women need to say no, and mean no. Know one thing Men are interested in themselves, they don't get pregnant. Women need to set higher standards for themselves.

On another note it's time Black Americans start to look to Africa. Africa needs Electricans, Plumbers, builders, engineers, Doctors, Nurses, Teachers, Construction workers, Designers, planners, Shops, Railway Engineers. Hygienist, Health Care workers. Hospitals needs building, Schools Roads, Bridges, Railway lines, infrastructure, homes. All those who are Unemployed needs to look at their options.

Africa don't need bombs, guns, tanks missiles, or land mines. But Resoviours, drains, clean drinking water. Extermination of mosquitoes, education, people planting and growing crops, selling to other neighbouring countries. Africa needs to develope.

For a Black man to spend his life in prison, because he is Black in America is a waste of a life, when there is so much work to be done that is not going to be done. Africa needs to unite with all Black people world wide.

Europe & America is developed, and has nothing left to do, so they buy and sell debt to each other, which has created a mess of their own economic system. It's time for a CHANGE, and it's time for people to look at the world and say what can I do in this world to create a better future for the next generation.

Killing one another, is not an investment in the future. I know it's American foreign policies, but it's flawed, because it's none productive, the only people who gain is the people selling DEATH & DESTRUCTION. When disease kills millions every year, in war torn areas and the land mines go on killing. The Amount of money spent on ARMS each year is wasted, while children starve and die from disease, and lack of clean drinking water, lack of education, and propper living conditions, and good diet. Its time to Wake up and ask the question, what are we doing, why do we waste so much on such stupidity. There is too many Black men in prisons in America, and America has the largest prison population in the entire world, more than China and all of Europe. The prison system is designed to cripple a race of people, and the women end up aborting the children, because they cannot affort the family they would like to have.

To Africa Unite, how can Africa have all the projects you want for it when they have leaders and governments which are communist slave states, one party ruler, or just plain dictators with very large Swiss bank accounts for the foreign aid money we send to them? The country in Africa which was the jewel of the continant and had many of the things you wanted was Rhodesia.... and we helped to kill it!

Gill O'Teen| 2.11.09 @ 3:37PM

Last time I checked, Blacks are Americans, so this is not a Black Problem; it is an American Problem. We are all responsible for ending this genocide.

Pat| 2.11.09 @ 3:37PM

Wealth can create a condition known as "chronic irrational vertigo" or CIV for short. Americans are particularly susceptible to a common ailment like CIV as this article demonstrates. One minute we're individualists and sworn to uphold all and sundry Ayn Rand style tenets glorifying individual rights. Then CIV flares up and we go seamlessly into a paternalistic mode where individuals become "groups" and we worry excessively over the current problems of the affected "group".

As a nation we're the most prolific child killers throughout history (47 million and counting) - and all in the name of an individual's right, specifically the right to make a free choice and a choice only an individual, not a "group", can make.

Then we tut-tut ourselves into a scratching frenzy no amount of calumine lotion can ease over the accumulated results of our choices - and, being addicted to paternalism, we begin to denounce the effects of the aggregate sum of our choices on a specific group of individuals.

Some speak out citing the cost to society as the basis for their paternalism - it costs taxpayers too much, too much in welfare payments, too much in correction facilities, too much in multi-generational ignorance. Others claim it's a stain on our "group" morality. But in the end, CIV has us firmly in its grip, our emotions are thoroughly exercised and nothing really changes.

Gill O'Teen| 2.11.09 @ 4:47PM

One of the great mysteries of our time is why so many Catholic Dumbocrats support unrestricted abortion completely contrary to their church’s teaching. As I previously expressed in a comment to another article, Jonathan Swift is one of my favorite writers. He penned this little ditty “ON SEEING A WORTHY PRELATE go OUT OF ST. Ann's church, in the time of divine SERVICE, to wait ON HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF DORSET ON HIS ARRIVAL.

“Lord Pam in the church (could you think it?) kneel'd down.
“But when told the Lieutenant was just come to town,
“His station despising, unaw'd by the place,
“He flies from his God to attend on his Grace.
“To the court it was fitter to pay his devotion,
“Since God had no hand in his Lordship's promotion.”

Africa Unite| 2.11.09 @ 5:26PM

Michael.

You raised some good points, these dictators must be removed, for progress to take place.

There needs to be propper Governance put in place, in order to move forward. Corruption in Government is not only an African one it's a worldwide one. We have to find a war around these things for the good of the future generations.

Interloper| 2.11.09 @ 5:48PM

I've said it before and I will say it again. There is something really perverse about the Right Wing's focus on black embryos, considering your contempt for black people. The last thing you are in favor of is a larger African-American population. Second? A larger Hispanic population. This silly deflection to zygotes is a way of pretending to 'support' blacks without actually doing any such thing. Conservatives will be taking seriously when they grasp civil rights for actual people. It appears that won't happen in the foreseeable future.

There's no mystery about why minority women have higher rates of abortion. Their lives are much harder due to poverty and discrimination. Instead of assailing women will a greater need to control their lives, we should be working to end those scourges.

It is also strange to see feminism and civil rights advocacy being treated as if they are contradictory. Black women are well-represented in the women's movement and identify with gender equality even more than white women do.

In summary, this article represents the biased beliefs of a white, male conservative who knows next to nothing about the people he is trying to lord it over. They're reproductive decisions are theirs to make, not his.

Conservative Curmudgeon| 2.11.09 @ 6:49PM

Liberals claim abortion is a right. Blacks have been waiting for reparations handouts because sometime in the past people whom are now ashes and dust violated their rights. For the moment, let us overlook all of history and the massive rights violations and deaths inflicted upon non-Blacks and just consider Black rights violations and reparations. In this time of thrift instead of monetary payments let the USA give Blacks “rights” payments. Obviously some Balkanized group of Americans will have give up their rights that will be granted to Blacks; however, like what Biden said about paying taxes we must make our rights payments to be patriotic. Setting things right sometimes hurts but we must suffer for justice and the common good comrade.

The right that will be solely granted Blacks will be the right of abortion. A fifty year grant of this special liberal right will probably be enough to accomplish justice but an extension period can be considered later if needed. I do not see how liberal white women would be upset because they are willing to make monetary reparations right now. Loss of the abortion right would save them money. Of course they would have to finally learn something about judgment, responsibility, and anatomy. Conservative white women do not need the right or abortion because they never have abortions. Other minority women typically have enough smarts to not kill their young so lack of the abortion right will not be an undue burden for them. Of course there will always be exceptions that will also need rights payments if the abused minority group so desires. No sense being stingy when we can be so generous.

American Blacks will finally have their reparations. Their joy should be immense except there will not be many Blacks around after fifty years to celebrate the final reparations payment. Dear reader do not be sad, the private celebrations of white liberals will more than make up for the aborted Black celebrations.

Alan Brooks| 2.11.09 @ 7:04PM

but poor people of any race ought not have many children because they cant take care of them.
birth control for the poor,
aye.

Interloper| 2.11.09 @ 10:11PM

"Conservative white women do not need the right or abortion (sic) because they never have abortions."

Nonsense. Political identification does not correlate with whether women have abortions. Nor does religion. In fact, Catholic women have a higher rate of abortions than non-Catholics. What does correlate with the abortion rate is education and work achievement. Educated and achieving women have fewer abortions and fewer children, largely because they are more likely to use contraception, and, become involved in committed relationships or marriages later.

President Obama's intention to focus family planning on educating youngsters about their bodies, and, providing contraception to anyone who wants it are exactly what will reduce the need for abortions.

Jeff| 2.11.09 @ 10:33PM

I am a white consevative who was formerly a member of the GOP before Denny Hastert decided that Mark Foley's house seat was more important than the teenaged male pages in the halls of the House of Representatives and Larry Craig decided he did not need to resign for his perverted behaviour in a public restroom. You know, the "old" GOP that fought a civil war to end slavery in the 1860's. Ask President Obama.He knows about it and our president of that era.

I say all of that to say this. Why are black people's lives worth so little?

If someone kills a white person they have a real possibilty of getting the death penalty but it doesn't seem to be true if the victim is black . The proportion of the black population has DECLINED to around 10% through abortion and murder and which Liberal cares? I haven't heard a peep out of anyone except Bill Cosby. What did he get for speaking out about that and the treatment of black children by their parents? He was viciously attacked and hounded until he gave up and went on with his life.

Do African -Americans actually wish to become extinct? I do not see any other result being possible if current trends do not reverse themselves somehow.

Interloper| 2.11.09 @ 11:45PM

The main reason for the 'decline' of the African-American population is the increase of the Hispanic and Asian populations, not homicides. The white American population has a higher rate of decreased population than the black American demographic. Also, not because of homicides. The upshot is that minorities will soon be the majority of the American population. Perhaps then even conservatives will grasp that white people are not some kind of norm every other group should mimic.

Alan Brooks| 2.12.09 @ 12:12AM

it is about those who can AFFORD to take care of children-- not about race.

if you cant afford kids, use your tiny little brain and figure out how not to have the wife get pregnant.

Oregon Mom| 2.12.09 @ 1:30AM

Interloper....forgive me, but you are a MORON. The fact that you make the statement: "There is something really perverse about the Right Wing's focus on black embryos, considering your contempt for black people." proves my point. The only people to whom conservatives feel comtempt are lying liberals. And the color of one's skin has nothing to do with it. If you actually knew the history of civil rights (instead of the brainwashing/history theft done by liberals...who only want votes, I might add) you'd know that it was the Republican Party that fought for the rights of our black brothers and sisters throughout the last century and before. Even LBJ's Civil Rights Act was written by Republicans. Heck...Martin Luther King was a Republican!

Your party trades the truth for a lie to satisfy their lust for innocent blood...all the while calling it "a woman's right". Have you ever once seen the gory result of an abortion? Are you man enough (if indeed you are a man) to take a glimpse at the pathetic remains of an American whose right to LIFE, liberty and the pursuit of happiness was stolen before her first breath? Do you even give a rip? Ya know what I see? I see a perfect little body...mangled for one reason only...GREED (thanks to the Abortion Industry that is alive and well in America and making millions upon millions every year by preying on young women). Go ahead and believe your fairytales....live in La La Land...hug a tree if it makes you feel better...but those of us truly care will continue to grieve for the little ones who had no one to love them.

I cannot find a reference, so, was the Prelate a Catholic?

Interloper| 2.12.09 @ 4:31PM

Oregon Mom, you simply are not capable of intelligent discussion of this topic. One must at least grasp that only persons, not embryos, are Americans, to even begin to understand these issues. The correlation between being not very bright and rabidly anti-abortion is probably quite high. I will leave you to your emoting.

ColinG, if you are referring to the conveniently black reverend referenced in the article, yes he is a Catholic saying what the Vatican tells him to say...and having it ignored by most Catholics of all races.

Steven| 2.12.09 @ 7:57PM

Interloper: One must at least grasp that only persons, not embryos, are Americans, to even begin to understand these issues.

You have the same position as the early slave owners had. You are saying the unborn child is not a person.
You are the one who is not very bright and will not face the fact that pregnancy is not a disease, or is the child within the womb simply a non-entity.
But then again it is obvious that you are of the opinion that you are intellectually above anyone else who is not of your "humble opinion."

Jeff| 2.12.09 @ 9:07PM

INTERLOPER,
With all of the name calling and personal attacks you indulge in you have to be a Liberal. Whether you are Liberal or Conservative personal slurs are no substitute for rational debate.
Oregon Mom made several rational points and your your personal slur about her intelligence was completely uncalled for.
Usually a person who does not believe in objective truth does not do so because of an intellectual discovery but because of of some moral failing that they do not want to give up.

I await your venom.

Jeff| 2.12.09 @ 10:48PM
