Today, according to the
Guttmacher Institute, women with family incomes below the federal poverty level
have more than 40% of
all abortions—even though they make up 14.5%
of America’s women.
These women also have one of
the country’s highest abortion rates: 52 abortions
per 1,000 women. On the other hand, higher-income women with family incomes
at or above 200% of the poverty line have a rate of nine
abortions per 1,000 women, which is about half the national rate.
Undoubtedly, some of
America’s most vulnerable women and children—the poor—are disproportionately
victimized by Big Abortion, a billion-dollar abortion industry lead by Planned
Parenthood, the elitist, political giant that makes more
than half of its income off of abortions and spreads the myth that it is
the only source of health care for poor women.
The willingness to write
children off for social and economic reasons only goes to show that the
“pro-choice” mentality does not stand for the progress, upward mobility, or
potential of the human mind to choose to live beyond the circumstances it is
born into. Writing children off for social and economic reasons means writing
off the choice to improve their lives. Undoubtedly, “pro-choice” is an unfit
title for the movement.
America’s abortion culture introduces an important catch to
that answer: In a society where the elitism and classism of the abortion
culture holds a significant amount of influence, the American dream is forever
beyond reach for thousands of poor babies.
