While I am SHOCKED that he said that, sadly his "idea" may not be full of it. I'm not trying to turn this into a pro-life/pro choice debate, but according to the Center's for Disease Control (non-partisan and no slant) , blacks are having abortions at twice the rate of any other groups. I know there are tons of contributing factors to that, but the fact remains - we are.


Legal abortions

In 2000
White - 16.7
Black or Af Am - 50.3
Hispanic - 22.5
Not Hispanic - 25.2

In 2001
White - 16.5
Black or Af Am - 49.1
Hispanic - 23
Not Hispanic - 23.3

(go to page 60 for all the detail)

So while I want to immediately say that he's talking crazy, the conspiracy theorist in me pauses for a moment.......

ETA: to fix my graph
