Abortion's Racial Gap

[tru_m.a.c]

I would like data proving that the white woman making 45k has that much wealth than black women making the same amount.

That should be fairly easy. I'm busy right now, but Pew Research should have all that information easily accessible in one of their wealth and inequality charts.

If Pew doesn't have it, urban institute or brookings should.

"Among teens aged 18–19, 41% report that they know little or nothing about condoms and 75% say they know little or nothing about the contraceptive pill."

this is not even talking about behavior or attitude, the kids are admitting that they know little about contraceptives even though their states give them "sex ed". that's a failure of abstinence only or abstinence focused education

About 40% of 18 to 19 year olds are below average to low intelligence. These people are slow and don't know much about anything even when advised. This could account for the 40% of teens that don't know shyt about condoms + nerds.

Furthermore half of all 18 to 19 year olds are men who aren't expected to know much about the pill so if you take 4/5 of the male teens from your 75% teen birth control knowledge, you're left with about the 35% of girls that are naturally slow learners. Education is not to blame.

Piggybacking off of this...more money, means more likely to pursue higher education, which means you are less likely to have a child out of wedlock or have a child at a point in your life where you are unable to care for said child.

Poor white people are not as big a percentage of the overall white population as poor blacks are of the black population. Simple stuff really.

try telling this to non-black people....

Also poor white residents aren't as visable at large, as poor blacks. Poor blacks tend to be concentrated largely in cities meanwhile poor whites are out in the boonies / outskirts of major metropolitan and rural areas...

i would expect nerds to know about condoms even if they have no use for them...

disparities in intelligence are largely a product of poor education, including poor sex education. which is the problem i am getting at. there is no other reason for the number of "naturally slow learners" to be concentrated in red states,

Maybe black women's money stream is that much more precarious than other races', but the study controls for income and the evidence suggests that money is not the primary factor behind black women's abortion rates. White, Hispanic, etc women who make the same money abort less than black women. The evidence seems to suggest that social stigma is a primary factor behind black female abortions (the majority of which are done more by upper class blacks rather than poor ones). In other words, all this abortion propaganda bullshyt is basically only making middle to upper class black women abort -- and no others. White people, meanwhile, are aborting least of all.

yeah but a shyt load of white women are already on contraceptives, and fukking out of wedlock.

The real shaming of abortions through the media, really tries hard to play to the tone of promiscuous women having sex out of wedlock, but fails to put the pressure on other forms of contraceptives as well.

Lol at people who try to downplay the utter failure that is abstinence only education

The only demographic in which African-Americans do not have the highest abortion rate is among women below the poverty line, where Latinas come in first.

This reinforces my belief in the conspiracy that the federal government has to keep the least productive Black Americans having the MOST children to keep us as scapegoats for any broader problems that exist in the country. The Latina abortion rate may be high but judging by their poverty levels it's probably not high enough relative to the births to poor families. The only advantage they have over us more often than not there is a Father in the home. But that will not reduce overall poverty statistics for them.
