Rep. Trent Franks, a Republican from Arizona, said on Friday that because of U.S. abortion policy, "far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery."
Franks made the comments in an interview with video blogger Mike Stark of StarkReports.com.
Slavery, said Franks, "is a crushing mark on America's soul, yet today half of all black children are aborted. Half of all black children are aborted. Far more black children, far more of the African American community is being devastated by the policies of today than were being devastated by the policies of slavery."

Just another reason why we shouldn't listen to random unknown Representatives, from either party. Plenty of seats being wasted on both sides of the aisle.

So, if not 50%, what percentage of black American babies are aborted every year?
What is the real figure?

20-40% of all pregnancies end in spontaneous abortion. You dumbass god is not only flawed but racist too.

What is the real figure for intentional human-induced abortions among black Americans?

Flawed maybe, but I wouldn't call the gods racists unless they're aborting non- white babies at higher that the average for everybody.

The rate for natural miscarriages is the same across racial groups, but apparently human-induced abortions among black Americans is significantly higher than for other races.

And does a higher rate mean that YOU believe they would be better off used as breeding stock for more slaves?

Nope. I think the breeding should occur in traditional marriages. What do you think, Jon?
Not sure yet what the real abortion rate is for black women. Perhaps nearly 50 percent of viable pregnancies, perhaps not. Do you have a source for untortured statitistics that you think is reliable?
Abortion is murder, but some things may be worse than murder. It is extremely tragic that human beings choose to use abortion as birth control.

I have no intentions of breeding...
Abortion as birth control - nope, not comfortable with that as the first option, just like trying to teach abstinence only doesn't work for birth control either.

Teaching abstinence only is not perfect, but recent studies have shown that it works better than early sex education.

How could your dumb god have let what happened to the blacks happen? He's a racist, like you.
