Well, I didn't try to say that. I said (or meant to say) I was suspicious of abortion policy in the US, because of the results tend to disproportionately target young black women. It might be that it's been with the best of intentions, where due to socioeconomic factors they are the recipients of this "aid".

Altering the US policy on abortion (making it illegal) means that those same pregnant, young, poor, under-educated girls are going to seek out alternatives. I think you and I both know where that leads.

I'm careful not to draw causality from correlations. If you look at the demographic statistics, you'd think that one group were being targeted. Maybe they target themselves, but I tend to look at things systemically. Somewhere, the system is broken, and maintaining the status-quo will only result in more of the same.

I do NOT agree with your usage of the term "targeted". That makes it seem that the "abortion policy" (I dislike this term, but I am using it because you used it first) has a bull's-eye planted directly on the uteruses of blacks.

The system is broken not because of the US "abortion policy". The system is broken because an overwhelming number of young black females in the US are poor and under-educated. Throw in the conservative party mindset of "we don't talk about sex, and any form of birth control is immoral" leads to what you have now.

Teens with raging hormones will have sex, which without proper knowledge of how to prevent pregnancies will lead to a whole lot of young, poor, scared girls being pregnant.

*edit: I might as well go farther on this.

If you want to change the current US policy on abortions (making them illegal because they take a life), are you also ready to prosecute anyone participating in an abortion for 1st degree murder?

I agree with everything you just wrote.

And MEAT; I think you are wrong. This is not a race issue it is a socioeconomic issue. Minorities happen to be mainly in the lowest brackets here. If you check kandrathe's statistics for rich black people you will find they don't apply anymore. The same if you separate rich and poor white people. That is how it is in the US and that is how it is in the rest of the world.
