Texas abortion motivated by racism

July 11, 2013 FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

63.1% of the babies aborted in Texas were black or Hispanic. The numbers make it clear that the African-American and Hispanic communities have been targeted and logic makes it clear that this did not happen coincidentally or unintentionally, in Texas or across the nation, Mark Crutcher. Today, Life Dynamics, Inc. a national pro-life organization located in Denton, Texas is responding to a report published by CNS News which shows that 63 percent of the babies aborted in the most recent year on record were black or Hispanic. The stats come from the CDC Abortion Surveillance report published on Nov. 23, 2012. According to the report, there were 77,152 abortions performed in Texas, 24,457 (or 31.7 percent) were non-Hispanic white babies, 19,152 (or 24.8 percent) were nonHispanic black babies, 29,576 (or 38.3 percent) were Hispanic babies, and 3,967 (or 5.1 percent) were babies of other races or ethnicities.

The combined 48,728 black and Hispanic babies aborted in Texas in 2009 equaled 63.1 percent of the total of 77,152 abortions in the state.

Mark Crutcher, president of Life Dynamics, responds, This is nothing new for us. We have documented the eugenic targeting of minorities in our film, Maafa21. In addition, research we produced for our report, Racial Profiling by Planned Parenthood and the American Abortion Lobby, clearly shows a majority of family planning centers locate their centers in minority communities. Crutcher continues, Maafa21 cites a study conducted by three American university researchers into the criteria used to decide the

placement of U.S. population control facilities. Their finding was that the primary consideration in making this determination is not poverty but the percentage of blacks in the area. Historically, the population control movements eugenic efforts have been primarily focused on the African-American community and that was the underlying theme of Maafa 21. In our most recent research, however, we have seen unmistakable evidence that the family planning establishment is also ratcheting up its efforts to deal with the Hispanic population. Here is what we found:

In Texas alone, 94 zip codes show either an abortion facility or a Planned Parenthood abortion-referral clinic located there and 72 percent of the zip codes have populations that are disproportionately black and/or Hispanic.

The report also found multiple abortion centers in many superminority populated areas. The New Jersey zip code 07631 has a black population 286.7% of the states overall percentage and a Hispanic population 163.9% of the state, and that zip code has four abortion or abortion-referral centers. Minnesota zip code 55404 has a black population that is 797.1% of the overall state percentage and a Hispanic population 537.9% of the state and there are three population control centers there. In Connecticut a state thoroughly dissimilar from Texas in size, culture and geography there are 21 zip codes where abortion centers or Planned Parenthood abortion-referral clinics are located and 15 of them have disproportionately black and/or Hispanic populations. Life Dynamics identified 116 ZIP codes with more than one population control facility. Of those, 84 were disproportionately black and/or Hispanic. Crutcher summarizes, What this means is that, when the American family planning industry places multiple facilities in a ZIP code, that ZIP code is more than two-and-a-half times as likely to be disproportionately minority as not. What we now know and have documented is that there is not one state in the union without population control centers located in ZIP codes with higher percentages of blacks and/or Hispanics than the states overall percentage. In fact, Hawaii is the only state that does not have facilities located in ZIP codes exceeding 125% of their overall percentage. Not only is this racial targeting widespread, its scale is often enormous. We found 42 states with family planning facilities in ZIP codes where the black and/or Hispanic populations exceeds 200% of the states overall percentage. More telling is that these percentages routinely go far beyond even this level. Numerous states have facilities in ZIP codes that range from 250% to well over 1,000% and it is not uncommon for them to have facilities located in many such ZIP codes.

The numbers make it clear that the African-American and Hispanic communities have been targeted and logic makes it clear that this did not happen coincidentally or unintentionally, in Texas or across the nation. Crutcher concluded. #### For an interview call the office at (940) 380-8800
