OPINION:
Bruce LeVell’s op-ed “Is Black America caught in a voting generational curse?” (Web, March 8) questions why Black voters didn’t turn out for President Trump when he did so much for them economically. I question why Black Americans vote for Democrats when Democrats have done so much harm to the Black community, first with slavery and now with abortion.
More than 20 million Black unborn children have been aborted since the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision. That averages approximately 416,000 Black babies aborted every year since January 1973. Black lives must not matter to most Black voters, or they wouldn’t abort so many of their unborn children.
Black lives matter to Democrats because Democrats want Black people’s votes, and because a third of abortions are performed on Black women, which keeps the abortion industry going.
