“Nationwide, African-American women receive approximately five times as many abortions as white women, according to U.S government statistics collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Those numbers hold true across all income levels. In 2006, the CDC recorded 45.9 abortions per 100 births among African-American women, versus 16.2 for white women. The Gutmacher Institute, an abortion rights research center that focuses on issues around women’s reproductive health, said African-American women are three times as likely as white women to have an unintended pregnancy.”
