The following is from a June 13 release from Christian Newswire on behalf of Walter Hoye’s Issues4Life Foundation.
Our best estimates, based on a projection of the most recent data through the current period, is that the current cumulative number of abortions from 1967 through June of this year is 59.4 million, of which an estimated 20,350,000 are Black American abortions.
Considering that the total current Black American population is about 42,000,000, the 20,350,000 Black American abortions are equal to 48.45% of the total Black American population. If not for abortion, the total Black American population would be approximately 62,350,000, or 48% greater than it is today.
This is based on an analysis of data from the U.S. Statistical Abstract for 2013 and the National Vital Statistics Report, Vol. 64, No. 1 dated January 15, 2015. This analysis was done recently by Dennis Howard, President of the Movement for a Better America who has written extensively on abortion demographics.
In 2015, there were an estimated 9,168,000 Black American women in their childbearing years between age 15 and 44 which make up around 14% of all women in that age group in the United States of America.
These women experienced:
- Births: 621,679
- Abortions: 423,000
- Pregnancies: 1,044,679
Resulting in:
- Abortions as a % of all pregnancies: 40.5%
- Abortion rate per 1,000 women: 46.3
The number of Black American births is a dramatic change from the earlier trend between 2000 and 2009, when births grew from 623,000 in 2000 to 671,000 in 2009. That’s a growth rate of 0.83% a year. If that trend had continued, Black American births in 2015 would have reached 705,000 in 2015, or 83,400 more than were actually born.
The blacks love & support the D (Death) candidates for giving them free access to abortion. And hate the R candidates wanting to stop the practice. Do the Revs. (Sharpton and Jackson) ever address this concern with their people? Far as I know, the Rev. Kings niece (sorry don’t know her name) is the only prominent black warning her people @ life marches/events. The POTUS insures this practice (abortion/baby body parts) continues unabated with PP funding ‘or else’, mostly against his own people, per this article. All lives matter. But apparently Black leaders do not see it that way for Black Americans.
Alveda King, who Is the niece of Dr. Martin Luther King, is active in the pro life movement. I think many African Americans were influence by Thurgood Marshall, who was the first African American Supreme Court judge, He was for the legalization of abortion.
Many refuse to believe it, but Martin Luther King himself was a recipient of the 1st Planned Parenthood Margaret Sanger Award in 1966.

I did not know. That certainly puts a whole new light on things.
I do know that there is at least one woman pro abortion senator who told another pro life senator that if his daughter were raped, he would want her to have an abortion.
On the contrary, I believe he would have supported her, helped her bring the child to term and possibly considered adoption.
I really, though, do not think that most of these abortions are about rape, but from the thoughtlessness while engaging in illicit affairs.
As I have said before, somewhere in each person’s history, he/she is a child born from rape, and it is only by the grace of God that any of us are alive today. We need to think about that when making decisions about abortions, lest we condemn ourselves..
WHERE ARE THE ‘BLACK LIVES MATTER’ GROUP WHEN IT REALLY MATTERS????
“The Blacks love..”. Did you just really say that?
Racism is alive and well my friends. Alive and well.
If a race chooses policies that furthers its own extinction and someone points that out HE’S the racist? Of course – because the one who tells those practicing perversion that they risk Hell for their evil practices is a hater! Gotta love liberal logic!
A race doesn’t choose anything. A race cannot choose anything. Yes, if you treat people who belong to a race as though they have no individual identity, as though they are all the same, that is racist.
Are you aware that Voting studies show– blacks vote ‘overwhelming’ for Dem’s in almost every election? Technically, the black race, has spoken and made a decision and a choice BY their VOTES. Easy concept to follow. So a RACE can choose. Just a logical conclusion based on voting decisions. Actually, that’s why studies are done after votes are tallied. To see ‘who’ was supporting ‘what’ platforms, etc. Their is no racism involved in the study of trends. You are ‘off’ point.
Anyone alive who does not stand for the life of innocent unborn humans is a hypocrite and guilty of genocide, murder and is a false witness….
Race is just a hot wire button for the global socialist New World Order. Obviously the elites couldn’t care less about blacks as evidenced by the Margaret Sanger eugenics agenda, etc., so the obvious question is why are they always screaming racism allegations. The answer is that in the NWO no distinctions among humans, racial or otherwise, are allowed. That includes, race, class, creed, ethnicity, orientation, etc. That way all human life is undifferentiated, equally worthless, and equally subject to disposal.
The Democrats are the real racists considering they support aborting Blacks. More black little girls/boys killed in NYC than born alive. Between Hispanics and Blacks they make up more than half of all abortions and over two thirds of all abortion clinics are located in minority areas.
Margaret Sanger, founder of PP…”more from the fit less from the unfit.” Her dream (a nightmare for Black girls/boys in the womb) has come true.
YFC, Hope you aren’t sipping racist Kool-aid? Studies reveal that ‘Blacks’ vote @ a high percentages (85% or more last election) for Dem’s, & the culture of PP, Death, Abortion. The premise, the point you missed, is: That IS showing the (D) candidates some ‘love’, as they say. Yet, SADLY THIS ‘SUPPORT’ IS LITERALLY KILLING THEIR future members & numbers, in a BIG way! Your suggestion: ”Racism is alive and well my friends. Alive and well.’ is disgusting BUT actually all too true IN THE LIBERAL WORLD, those who support PP, death, abortion. Don’t FOOL yourself into thinking it is an unintended consequence by PP abortion supporters. This sad study confirms that PP & ABORTION is harming the black race the most.
Racism runs through every race at times, YFC. Albinos are being murdered for their body parts in some parts of Africa now because of a superstition that using them is lucky. The Arab Muslims are still taking Africans and other slaves in their countries if they do not convert. It is terrible what humans do to one another.
Nevertheless, this is the only country I know where brother fought brother to end slavery. One Northern white woman lost five sons in the Civil War. Quite frankly, I think enough blood has been shed over it.
Americans all need to return to regular church attendance, and all of the ministers and priests need to DUMP LEFTIST-LIBERALISM, and return to Christianity! Everyone needs to be taught faith in God, and Christian morals, and to have a good moral conscience, from babyhood! The Traditional American Marriage, Home, and Family, needs to be fully supported and encouraged, by all the churches, ad by our government, Strong laws need to be enacted against immorality and evil. A law should be passed (and maybe a Constitutional Amendment, too!) celebrating and guaranteeing the right to life, of all Americans, from the moment of conception to natural death.
Ahh yess, Traditional American Marriage. Just ask Sally Hemmings about that one!
Yes, ask Sally Hemmings. I have no doubt she’d recognize slavery by another name as it is presented by Dems who purport that killing off black babies is some sort of freedom.
YFC, I apologize for what I said about your opinion not mattering to me. It really does.
I was very angry at what was done to the older woman who was run out of business because she refused to bake wedding cakes for some people after she had given that young man a job. Nevertheless, I did not want anyone to die over all this. I will pray for all who were involved in the situation at Pulse.
It was LBJ and his infamous war on poverty that is responsible for so many problems that have infected America’s Blacks. Because abortion is so freely accessible, and because women are basically paid to be baby factories (welfare mothers), the family life of Blacks is almost nil. The same can also be said about family values of all Americans. Without God, there is chaos and we are witnessing the total collapse of Western Civilization as a result of our abandoning Him.
Pastor Walter Hoye is a living saint. He loves all people, with a special heart for women of African American descent who are affected by the abortion culture. Through the power of Jesus he went to jail rather than keep silent. His wife Lori is a great support to him in this struggle. Black lives matter. All lives matter. Pastor Hoye tries to help us live life to the full, just as Jesus promised.
A really good movie that documents this is “Maafa 21.” It details the start of the eugenics movement in the US after the Civil War, and traces its influence to the Nazis and to Planned Parenthood. It’s a genocide that’s still going on. When I confront my black friends about it, they roll their eyes and continue to support and vote for the Democrats who are destroying their lives. Those that get it are harassed and ridiculed by other blacks. They’re still enslaved! See: https://www.maafa21.com/
Due to the evils of slavery, many Blacks in America have struggled with poverty, racism, immorality, family violence, broken homes, unemployment, crime, and addictions to dope and alcohol. Growing up in the Black ghetto has been a terrible struggle, for most of the Black youth. There has been a widespread problem, for generations, with teen immorality, and out-of-wedlock pregnancy. Many Black young men have ended up with lives of violence and crime, resulting in jail sentences and broken families, with many fatherless children being raised by struggling, poor Black women. Legal abortion (murder) is not the answer– it is also a tragic, racist answer to the Blacks’ historic suffering and struggles.
Just in on Breitbart.com, Left wing Bishop Robert Lynch of St. Petersburg Florida blames the Roman Catholic Church and its “homophobia” for the mass murders of innocent human beings in Orlando on Sunday morning. Islam has nothing to do with it according to Lynch, this coming from a man who hates the TLM. Folks you cannot make this stuff up, there is something about the Left which includes the Democrat Party that has a LOVE AFFAIR with ISLAM!!
I am no fan of Bishop Lynch by any means, however you misrepresent what he said. He blamed all religions, including Catholicism, for the slaughter. That, presumably, includes Islam.
Perhaps if His Excellency spent more time in representing the truth of the Holy Catholic Church, that which he is tasked with transmitting, there would be less misunderstanding of his political positions.
His perversion of what spurred the founding fathers to ensure our 2nd amendment rights is similarly discombobulated. And our founding fathers would be proverbially rolling over in their graves at so-called Americans tossing away their ability to repel an unjust government by a misrepresentation of their words. Words others spilled their blood to defend.
Kind of like Our Lord not taking kindly to his priests treating His blood so cheaply when they cover up the truth of the Faith.
You’re right, Wm. Hamilton, You ARE no fan of Bishop Lynch by any means. In fact, you are his enemy. You prefer, complicit obfuscation, over charitably upholding the clear truth. I’ll go one step further, too! YOU are wickedly enabling the very destruction of this bishop’s soul. Bishop Lynch and many other bishops deserve to be shaken and warned that they will be held accountable for not guarding the deposit of faith. Hell, is REAL, and it is not uncrowded as some might suggest. Our Lady of Akita warned the world that bishops would be against bishops. You show much hate, not love, for this bishop’s soul.
If this is true, it is sad that a Bishop is so ‘misguided’. But it is a classic Alinsky tactic to ‘spin’ a Muslim terrorist killing spree into an attack on Catholic moral law. May God deliver us from the destroyers within the R.C. church.
I saw this news story, too– what an ignorant bishop! He should be teaching Christ’s true message, especially to the young! Love God, love your neighbor, and act as a Good Samaritan to those who are poor, suffering, persecuted, marginalized, sick, dying, etc.– and lead a truly Christ-like CHASTE life of prayer and virtue! Disordered sins of lust are a horror, to be totally avoided! The bishop should teach everyone to see only Christ in others! To view others as objects of sex, is filthy, degrading, and severely damages oneself and others! Those who struggle with the “LGBT” problem, need spiritual help to lead a good life, close to Christ!
Bishop Lynch was the bishop of St Pete when Terry Schiavo was sentenced to die in her hospital bed by being starved to death. Terry’s brother Bobbie Schindler was not happy with the Bishop’s lack of support for his sister in her time of need. I guess he wasn’t “a Good Samaritan to those who are poor, suffering, persecuted, marginalized, sick, dying, etc.”
Abortion discriminates against babies who have immoral parents.
Yes, Janek I too read on Breitbart.com that Bishop Lynch “blamed” the Roman Catholic Church and its anti-gay stand for the mass murder of 50 innocent Americans in Orlando. Being that I lived in St. Pete for a few years I can absolutely say you are 100% correct about Lynch he is an ardent modernist, he did “allow” us to have our TLM in the cathedral chapel, however we knew and still know he had no love for us or the TLM being in his cathedral chapel. Islam and liberalism is going to kill us all.
