The following comes from an August 10 Campus Reform article by Autumn Price:
A recent University of North Carolina at Charlotte study shows the devastating consequences of abortion on minorities, revealing that voluntary infanticide is by far the leading cause of death for both blacks and Hispanics.
The paper, “Induced Abortion, Mortality, and the Conduct of Science,” was written by James Studnicki, Sharon J. Mackinnon, and John W. Fisher and was published in an online edition of the Open Journal of Preventive Medicine.
The authors take issue with the fact that abortion deaths are not included among the nation’s mortality statistics, pointing out that abortion is the leading cause of death for Hispanics and African Americans, and that the 1,152,000 deaths from abortion in 2009 made it the nation’s leading cause of death, accounting for almost a third (32.1 percent) of all deaths recorded that year.
“We considered induced abortion as the proximate cause of death and we subtracted the estimated number of natural fetal losses from the number of abortions to arrive at births averted by abortion,” they explain. ‘We used 2009 data because it was the most current year for which official group-specific fetal loss estimates were available from government sources.”
Perhaps the most impactful results of the study show that minorities are most affected by abortion, which the authors demonstrate using data from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS), and the Guttmacher Institute, which together show that of the nearly 6.5 million pregnancies in 2009, 35.5 percent of African American pregnancies were terminated, along with 17.1 percent of Hispanic pregnancies.
When considered in relation to other causes of death by race and ethnicity, abortion is by far the leading cause of mortality for Hispanics, accounting for 64 percent of deaths, as well as for blacks, among whom abortion is responsible for 61.1 percent of deaths—meaning close to two out of every three deaths in both communities are attributable to abortion.
Stop the bullies @ PP & VOTE them out! How did they get so much power anyway? Supportive POTUS, to be continued under Hillary? Info. on all critical issues see @ https://www.Catholics4Trump.com/ It is about LIFE & so MUCH more. Do you want UN global Elites running the USA even more? This is just one of many articles of what is at stake. Let’s NOT become poor attacked Europe! From a Swede top priest: @ https://www.infowars.com/top-swedish-priest-islamists-have-declared-war-on-christianity/ Not a sin but a DUTY to put America first. We are given life, liberty & a free country by our Creator Treasure & protect them! God deliver us from all evil. Vote all of them out!
I never thought this could happen. Pope Francis has just said, “Trump is a Christian & Catholics CAN vote for him”. Could it be, all the attacks in the Middle East & Europe, plus pro-life, pro-christian, pro-law & order values are starting to make more sense to the Pope, as he experiences the M.E. & Europe in ever increasing turmoil?? As he sees the escalated WAR on Christian & Catholic values in the USA? Anyway, for the PC (perpetually confused) crowd & other nay sayers, see the POPE’s words for yourself @ http://www.Catholics4Trump.com/
And may God always bless America.
Thank you, FTP for your posts and for the informative links!
South African cardinal calls US abortion rate ‘a genocide’ for blacks
(RNS) A South African cardinal who recently rejected calls for the Catholic Church to apologize to gay people has said the abortion rate among black women in the U.S. is “a genocide” and added: “Isn’t this something we should be apologizing for?”
In a series of tweets late Friday (July 1), Cardinal Wilfrid Napier of Durban cited Guttmacher Institute estimates that there have been more than 57 million abortions in the U.S. since the Supreme Court legalized abortion in 1973.

Catherine of course these abortion rates are a genocide the likes of which have never been recorded in human history. Over a million murdered unborn baby children in America every year cries out to Heaven for the judgement from Almighty God. If America does not stop this mass slaughter of these unborn baby children God will withhold his hand of protection. Planned Parenthood has no plan and needs to find a new plan assap. Pray for these precious unborn baby children. Pray for America because a severe judgement and chastisement is coming sooner than you think. Vote only for politicians that will protect the unborn. . .
Barack Obama’s first act as President of the U.S. was to sign into law the Mexico City Policy which gave funds to the U.N. for abortion. He promised he would do it and he did. It was George Bush who did not vote for this. America wake up and think when you vote in November. If HIliary Clinton is elected POTUS, the abortion rate will soar even higher if this is possible. Listen to what she and othesr like Nancy Pelosi and Jackie Spier have to say. Uunborn babies are worthless and deserve to die – even those born alive during an abortion. Put them on a tray in a utility closet and let them die like then Senator Obama advocated in Illinois.
C, So TRUE! You bring up sad reminders of our moral decline in 7 1/2 yrs. of this POTUS. Some folks are aware of the UN agenda because BO & HC brought more of Sodom & Gomorrah upon Christian America & the world. But we need a mandate of votes to win against crooked HC’s machine & the continuation of the UN/Obama global networks. The U.S. is @ tipping point that goes beyond party affiliation. Our ‘best’ way of life, the judicial system + law/order hang in the balance, as well as supporting pro-LIFE over unholy PP & ‘other new’ death initiatives. Note: Assisted suicide & euthanasia are up NEXT for global elites that plan to un-populate Earth. Let’s make sure they don’t win again & VOTE THEM OUT across the ballot!
Cecilia you are very confused. There was never any such law. It was an executive order by Reagan, who used his executive authority. Obama, in his own executive authority, recinded the action. Presidents had signed and recinded the same authority several times in intervening years. It was never a “law”.
Bush could not have “voted” on anything: He was not a legislator.
There are other errors in your post, but I’ve got more important things to do.
I liked the article, but did not like the demeaning of African Americans, by referring to them as blacks in lower case. Throughout the article, the word Hispanics was referenced in uppercase, whereas blacks was lowercase, with the exception in paragraph three. People are nouns, not adjectives, and African Americans are proper nouns as well.
Just STOP killing your babies. Tragic. Stop ‘mob’ thinking too. Listening to good Sheriff Clark as he gets the Milwaukee ‘mob’ under control. He has seen it all, knows so much & does not hold back. He said, the ‘riots’ are not about race, it was a ‘thinly disguised planned POLITICAL attacked’. (He is a common sense, no-nonsense Black Sheriff & has dinged BO for not whole heartedly getting behind law & order while openly supporting Black civil unrest groups with visits to the white house.) Sheriff Clark is a spokesperson for every law & order citizen in our country & should be respected for his efforts. ………..
Continued…………Did you know, the Milwaukee ‘mob’, has been coordinated by paid professional political agitators via facebook/snapchat? Nothing is what it seems to be as these people in the ‘mob’ are being used. Who does that & why? Support this good man, your Sheriff. Ask yourself, why hurt your own community? God bless Sheriff Clark for his efforts for peace, justice, law & order. Pray.
Hillary CLINTON is dangerous in many ways.
She will nominate Supreme and Federal Court Justices that will VIOLATE RELIGIOUS FREEDOM.
If elected her “executive orders” will do the same.
Regarding abortion:
“…..And deep-seated cultural codes, religious beliefs and structural biases have to be changed. …..” – Hillary Clinton 2015

In the 2016 National Democrat Platform (policy) adopted at their recent convention –
Clinton has included wording for ALL taxpayers to pay for abortion – repeal of the Hyde Amendment.

For any reason, at any stage of development.
