Abortion and Racism

John Piper gave a sermon called "When is Abortion Racism?" where he poses a question concerning a link between abortion and racism. It it sounds ludicrous at first, but assess the reality:
- Black women account for 13% of the female population but 36% of all abortions.
- Hispanic women account for 13% of the female but 20% of all abortions.
- Between 10 and 13 millions abortions have been performed on black women since 1973. There are only 31 million blacks in America today. That means that between 30-40% of the potential black population has been "aborted". That’s huge. Consider also the potential babies born to those who were aborted from 1973 and after.
- Consider that the founder of Planned Parenthood (the largest benefactor of the practice of abortion), Margaret Sanger, also led the “Negro Project” in the 1930s, which was designed to reduce the births of black children
And the numbers and correlations just keep piling up. It’s amazing to me. The practical implementation of "A Woman’s Right to Choose", amounts to genocide.
