Black History and Abortion

Every year in February, the USA celebrates Black History Month. Daily facts are posted to educate the masses of Americans that are unapologetically ignorant of Black history. Town hall meetings and roundtables are had to discuss the plight of Black people, who are called African-American even during Black history month, in America. Ideas are brought forth to put an end to things that fatally harm Black communities around the US, like obesity, unhealthy eating, lack of doctor visits, and gang violence. On the flip side, education and the UNCF (United Negro College Fund) are bolstered to the public via media with a greater emphasis on college grants given to the “urban” potential students. CNN even has a show titled “Who’s Black in America” as if there are certain criteria one must meet in order to qualify for said status.

One thing that I almost never hear about is the astronomical rate of abortions attributed to a people group that make up 11-12% of the US population. In addition to the assumed thinking of Blacks, African-American studies programs, and urban advocates, Black people are deemed very religious and faithful churchgoers, to which I offer a hearty ‘I doubt that very much.’

Just one day, I’d like to hear about the day when abortion became history during Black History Month
