Abortion rates by race and ethnicityCDC: 40%+ of U.S. Babies Born to Unmarried Women for 8th Straight Year
Of the 3,977,745 babies born in the United States of America in 2015, 1,600,208 of them—or 40.2 percent--were born to unmarried mothers, according to data released this month by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
"CDC: 40%+ of U.S. Babies Born to Unmarried Women for 8th Straight Year"
In 2015 there were just over 415,000 babies born to unwed black moms. There were 3,977,745 babies born over all. So the percentage of unwed black babies born as a percentage of all babies was approximately 10,4 percent. Blacks had just over 500,000 babies total. Whites had over 1.9 million total and over 600,000 babies born to unwed moms or about 16 percent of all unwed births as a percentage of all births.

The reality of this information shows that whites actually had more unwed children than blacks had children. In 2015 blacks had just over 500,000 children total. Whites had over 620,000 unwed births. Now I'm sure the mathematical "geniuses" around here will try talking their usual trash, but the facts are as they are. The unwed birth percentage of blacks as opposed to the total number of births was just over 10 percent. By both number and percentage whites had more unwed births. Now you can argue the usual dumb white supremacist argument based only on the number of total black babies born and back babies born out of wedlock, but that paints a false picture and that's the picture whites gave been painting for 400 years.
Cool ---- now add in abortions.
Nah, I won't be doing that.
Gee, I wonder why.
Could it be because the abortion rate among blacks is almost 5 times that of whites? Could it be that, if we were to add abortions to the single-mother totals, we would find that there were more single parent pregnancies among blacks than the rest of the population - combined???
Nice try -- but a logical fallacy at best.
Where do you get the data on the abortion rate among blacks and whites? I haven't seen that. Reporting on abortion and race appears to be haphazard, as it is not a mandatory kind of reporting, but none of the charts or data I've seen indicate a 5 times difference.
For example: Abortion Surveillance — United States, 2014
Abortion rates by race and ethnicity
Also, considering blacks only make up about 13% of the population of the US, even with your 5 times rate for abortions, it seems highly unlikely that single mother pregnancies among blacks would equal more than the rest of the population combined.

That first link is the same one I posted, and shows the rate of abortions for whites at 10 per 1000 women, while for blacks it is 27.1 per 1000 women. That is not a 5 times difference.
The second link doesn't give rates, but shows that black women had about 120,000 of the approximately 300,000 abortions that year, while white women had about 150,000 of the abortions. I'm not certain what the numbers are for women in that year, but going by 2017's population numbers (because those are the ones I found in a quick search) that would be a rate of about 3 abortions per 1000 blacks (men, women, and children) while about 0.75 abortions per 1000 whites (men, women, and children). Again, not a 5 times difference.
And as I said, it's hard to be sure because abortions and race are not always a mandatory report, so the information is incomplete.
