Facts & Stats

• On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion through all 9 months of pregnancy (Doe vs. Bolton, U.S. Supreme Court, Jan. 1973)
  
• Since abortion was legalized in 1973, the lives of over 51 million pre-born babies have been extinguished. (Guttmacher Institute 2005)
• At least 13.85 million of these abortions were African American babies.
  (Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2007)
• We know this estimate is low because, with a few exception, no abortion data is available for Alaska, California, Oklahoma, West Virginia, and New Hampshire in the years before 2004.
• White women are 61% of the female population and account for 36% of all abortions, black women are 14% of the female population and have 30% of abortions, and Hispanic women are 15.8% of the female population and have 25% of abortions.
  (U.S. Census Bureau, 2009 & Guttmacher Institute May 2010)
• Over 37% of African American pregnancies end in abortion.
  (Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2009)
• Abortion is the leading cause of death among African Americans. In fact, you can stack deaths from HIV-AIDS, violent crime, accidents, cancer, and heart disease one on top of the other and still not come close to the 13.85 million black babies that have died by abortion since 1973.
  (Center for Disease Control and Prevention 2007)

• Abortion has reduced the African American population by 33%.
  (Ibid & U.S. Census Bureau 2009)
• Abortionists smuff out the lives of approximately 1,219 African American children each day. (Center for Disease Control and Prevention, 2008 & Guttmacher Institute, 2005)
