OPINION:
It strikes me as odd that many Black women who are running for political office are publicly “telling their stories” about the abortions they have had (“Democratic candidates go all in on abortion with testimonials about getting the procedure.” Web, July 12).
Just think, by aborting their babies, these women may have deprived our country of the next Harriet Tubman, George Washington Carver, Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Jackie Robinson, Oprah Winfrey, Barack Obama, Viola Davis, Ben Carson, Naomie Harris, Tiger Woods and on and on.
Black people make up around 14% of the U.S. population, but Black women have approximately 37% of the abortions every year.
Instead of sharing their abortion stories with us, why aren’t they speaking out about this sort of genocide?
