I remember reading an article about a year-and-a-half ago that was the 2005 Abortion rate statistics (from the U.S. Census). In case of percent rate distribution, abortions were ~38% for Black women and ~34% among non-Hispanic White women.
IMHO,if the obvious white right-wing group Toomanyaborted.com REALLY wanted to state the truth, they tell the WHOLE story and convey to others that abortion is not a race issue, but a combination of moral, psychological, integrity and financial issues. I've noticed very quickly that this is one of the tricks that white conservatives like to use to swindle POC to join their side on various views and issues simply so they can holler "We're not racist AT ALL!" and just outright use them like cheap instruments! Look at how they threw Michael Steele up as RNC chairman not soon after Obama was inaugurated just so they can make themselves feel secure in the fantasy that they aren't racist. Now that he's (supposedly/reportedly) doing a bad job and now they're in a tight spot on whether they should relieve him of his job because they don't want to look racist! IRONY! (Sorry if that was a bit off-topic)
I would've never have known this if I hadn't done the research myself. I almost took sites like Toomanyaborted.com as raw facts. Like you've mentioned before in your post, they're simply trying to scare Black women.

Yeah, I know...just call me "K". I'm an author currently residing in the wilds of Appalachia. I run my blog like a bar, except all the strong drinks here are on me. Go sip the weak stuff elsewhere.
