There are now more Black babies aborted in New York City than are born alive, according to a report.
Breaking Christian News reports that for every one Black baby that is born, 1.2 Black babies are aborted in the city.
According to a summary from the New York City Bureau of Vital
Statistics, New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene, there
are 56,165 total Black pregnancies in the city, 53, 115 of them viable
pregnancies.
Abortions of Black babies therefore make up 51.6 percent of total black
pregnancies, while 54.6 percent of viable Black pregnancies end in
abortion.
This means that every day in the city 79 Black babies are aborted, while only 66 babies are born.
Walter B. Hoye II, President of the Issues4Life Foundation, says
something must be done to stop the rampant abortion rate affecting the
African-American community.
Hoye quoted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in light of Black History
Month: "Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. was prophetic when he said: 'The
Negro cannot win if he is willing to sell the future of his children for
his personal and immediate comfort and safety.' "Without Life,” Hoye
adds, “We Have Nothing!"
