Columnist Dawson Bell of the Detroit Free Press writes today that Blacks' abortions tragically ignored.

One can argue that the high rate of abortion among African Americans is not an ill unto itself, but a symptom of underlying problems like poverty and family breakdown.Thus, if young, black, pregnant women had the kind of financial and family support available to women of other races, they would be no more likely to terminate their pregnancies

The high rate of abortions among African Americans also means that more African American women have had multiple abortions, which is a key risk factor for post-abortion trauma.
