An Endangered Species?

Dozens of provocative billboards have appeared around Atlanta recently. The ads feature the face of a young black child and the simple statement: “Black children are an Endangered Species.”

The controversial announcements are drawing attention to the fact: abortion in black communities is at epidemic proportions. According to the government’s Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, in 2006 black women accounted for the majority of abortions in Georgia, even though blacks make up just a third of the state’s population.

Nationally, black women are more than three times as likely to have an abortion than white women. Pro-life advocates say the procedure has always been linked to race, going back to Planned Parenthood’s founder Margaret Sanger who, they say, wanted to eradicate minorities by putting birth control clinics in their neighborhoods.
