6. If only certain women were having abortions in America

May 2019

the so-called Right to Life crowd would be opening up abortion clinics throughout the country.

According to the Kaiser Family Foundation, white women have the most abortions (49%), black women have fewer abortions (40%), and women classified as "other" (hispanic, asian, etc.) are the least likely to undergo the procedure (just 11%).

Perhaps I've been watching too many nazis and white nationalists marching around on TV, chanting "you will not replace us" and decrying the extinction of the "master race," but if these numbers were reversed, I suspect the folks now opposed to abortion would view it quite differently.
