Abortion kills more black Americans than the seven leading causes of death combined, according to data collected by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention for 2005, the latest year for which the abortion numbers are available.

Abortion killed at least 203,991 blacks in the 36 states and two cities (New York City and the District of Columbia) that reported abortions by race in 2005, according to the CDC. During that same year, according to the CDC, a total of 198,385 blacks nationwide died from heart disease, cancer, strokes, accidents, diabetes, homicide, and chronic lower respiratory diseases combined.  These were the seven leading causes of death for black Americans that year.

A total of 49 jurisdictions reported their abortion numbers for 2005 to the CDC. These included all 50 states--except California, Louisiana, and New Hampshire--and New York City and the District of Columbia.  Of these 49 jurisdiction, only 36 states plus New York City and the District of Columbia reported the number of abortions by race.

...According to the CDC, the total of 203,991 blacks killed by abortion in 2005 also does not include those aborted by "private physicians' procedures."

In 2005, a total of 820,151 legal abortions were performed in the 49 jurisdication that reported abortions to the CDC, according to the "Abortion Surveillance" report, which is published in the CDC's Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report, or MMWR, for Nov. 28, 2008. (Scroll up to top of report)

The report states, "Approximately 1 in 5 U.S. pregnancies have ended in abortion," and also notes some limitations on the data: "The overall number, ratio, and rate of abortions are conservative estimates; the total numbers of legal induced abortions provided by central health agencies and reported to the CDC for 2005 were probably lower than the numbers actually performed."

...Rev. Clenard H. Childress, Jr., founder of BlackGenocide.org, told CNSNews.com that according to numbers gleaned from statistics provided by the Guttmacher Institute, a pro-abortion group, 1,784 blacks are aborted each day. Also, he notes on his Web site that three out of five African-American women will obtain an abortion.

Childress said the information and sources on his Web site have never been challenged by abortion-access supporters. "This is because they can see that themselves, and they know them probably to be far worse than we're reporting. The facts come from the pro-abort/pro-choice community," he said.

I feel bad many times for having thoughts of these people squirming before God on judgment day, but at the same time, I wonder what WOULD they say? What CAN they say when they give an account as we all must? I was trying to help the economy? Health care? Pro-choice? Principle? How ridiculous would that sound should the audience consist of the 50 million souls aborted in the U.S. since RvW? How about this Democrat mantra: "I wanted to help the little guy, the downtrodden, the most helpless amongst us, ...." And then it sets in, the horrible realization that the most helpless amongst us (who is smaller than these little guys anyway?) have been slaughtered - butchered in the most barbaric and horrific ways imaginable, and with their full blessing. Torn head from shoulder, limb from torso, legs from hips, exposed to saline fluid that burned skin and muscle, to be scraped out like a rash and flushed down a toilet like fecal matter or put into a dumpster with the garbage. And the false god Molech smiles.

How do people that work for these facilities, whether independent of as part of the Planned Parenthood butcher shops, and sleep well at night? Do they have the approval of their conscience? If so, I fear for their spirit. Why are people surprised at the callousness that is shown to evil and death in this country when acts like this have been condoned, encouraged and protected by our elected leaders and highest courts? Why is it surprising that Planned Parenthood not only performs abortions, but lies and breaks the law to do so, going so far as to cover up statutory rape of 12- and 13-year old girls so that they can be repeat customers?
