With the recent draft leak of Supreme Court’s decision to overturn Roe V. Wade many segments of the dominant society, that is the white supremacist society in which we live, have been up in arms about the possibility of making abortions illegal. It seems everybody and their mama on the internet has something to say about this but as mother of nine beautiful Black babies, and a part of the B1 family, I felt the need to add my hat to the ring once again. To be perfectly clear, I am most certainly not one of the people upset about abortion becoming less assessable. Personally, and for lack of a better word, I am pro-life for Black women and pro-choice for all other groups.
Overturning Roe v. Wade is a Good Thing
I have never had an abortion and was in fact almost aborted by my mother after I was conceived from a sexual assault, so I freely admit that I am biased on this subject. However, when you consider the fact that it is Black women who abort our babies more than any other group of women, I believe that it is safe to say that there really is a Black genocide being perpetrated against our unborn. According to a 2011 CDC report conducted by the Abortion Surveillance Report, black women make up 14 percent of the childbearing population, yet obtained 36.2 percent of reported abortions.Black women have the highest abortion ratio in the country, with 474 abortions per 1,000 live births. Per the report, more than 19 million Black babies have been aborted since 1973, the year of Roe V. Wade. This is not surprising since it is well known, or it is to anyone who wants to know, that the founder of Planned Parenthood (Margret Sanger) was a raging white supremacist and eugenicist who believed that Black people should be reproductively restricted, and our babies aborted whenever possible hence the founding and promoting of Planned Parenthood.
The Abortion Industry
Per PBS Newshour, in Texas “minorities” are 59 percent of the population and 74 percent of those receiving abortions, in Alabama they are 35 percent and 69 percent and in Louisiana minorities are 42 percent and around 72 percent of those receiving abortions. We all know that most of said “minorities” are Black women. We know that the neither the Democrats nor the Republicans are our friends, but I think it is safe to say that it is the Democrats that are acting as if the overturning of Roe V. Wade is literally Armageddon.It is the democratic puppets, deluded coons and white supremacist feminists (which includes white Latinos like the one I’m about to quote here) that are proudly promoting aborting Black babies. Worse, these people are equating limiting Black abortion as “racism”. “Abortion restrictions are racist,” said Cathy Torres (some organizing manager with Frontera Fund which is a Texas organization that pays for abortions). She further stated that, “They directly impact people of color, Black, brown, Indigenous people … people who are trying to make ends meet.”
So… the solution to poverty is more abortions for Black women says Torres and her ilk. Too bad she and they are not advocating for reparations for Black Americans instead of abortion.
Abortion is NOT About Healthcare or Freedom of Choice
Regardless of what the white media and their Black coons, bootlicks and puppets are saying limiting abortion is not going to hurt Black women any more than we are already hurting. As a Black woman, I am a firm believer in personal responsibility. Every woman knows that if you have unprotected intercourse that there is a chance of pregnancy and therefore it is only logical to take preventive steps if said woman is not prepared to be a mother and/or to bring another child into this world.As Black women we must start taking greater responsibility for our bodies by using contraceptives, that DOESN’T include abortion (like so many Black women tend to do). Millions of Black babies deserve better and we as a people deserve better. I do not judge anyone for a mistake but at some point, we must learn from those mistakes. And killing our babies is a mistake that we must learn it is not okay. After all, the only people who benefit from our abortions are the white supremacists and their puppets that promote, encourage and even pay for it.
