Gladly! According to the CDC, about 36% of legal abortions in the US are performed on black women [1]. However, only about 13% of the US population is black. This disproportional rate amounts to one black abortion for every two black births. If you accept that a fetus is a fully-fledged human being, this means that a third of black children are killed in the US every single year.

Now to clarify, I don't think that an early-term fetus is a fully-fledged human being [2]. I do, however, think that an early-term fetus has an aspect of personhood and should therefore be treated with the utmost care (can I use the term reverence? It is not an inherently religious word, but I'm afraid it will be interpreted in a religious way if I say it). In my estimation, the difference between abortion and murder is simply a matter of severity.

This is where we come to the term genocide, or the mass killing of a group of people on ethnic lines. We've already seen that a third of black pregnancies do not come to term because of abortion. Now, if a third of all black newborns were rounded up and killed, I can't think of a single person who would hesitate to use the word genocide. Again, I don't think this scenario exactly describes what is happening to black children in America, but since I think abortion is similar to killing the fact that a third of black fetuses are aborted is horrifying.

I know that black women are not choosing to abort because they're black. They're choosing it more often than not because they're living in crushing poverty and don't want their children to be born into a life where they'll likely be forced into crime and violence in order to survive. I am highly sympathetic to their plight, and as a society we must address these problems in a responsible and sustainable way (contraception, sex ed, public aid for impoverished children, access to inexpensive education and job training, and lowering prison sentences for nonviolent drug use and sale). Abortion does alleviate the symptoms of this sort of problem. However, it does nothing to address the root cause of the problem, which is that for hundreds of years blacks have been marginalized by whites. This is a great tragedy. Because the symptoms are being treated, the underlying causes are left to fester unchecked because all appears well enough on the outside.
