Abortion in Health-Care Reform May Hurt Minorities the Most

 

Black Americans could be the group most affected by including taxpayer-funded abortions in health-care reform, according to pro-life experts.
 
Jim Sedlak, vice president of the American Life League, said studies show one in two African-American pregnancies end in abortion, and the abortion rate for black women is almost three times that of white women.

"These statistics show that (health care) is going to wind up paying mostly for abortions for African-American women," Sedlak said. "It's going to be killing off the African-American race in this country."

Ask your representative and senators to oppose any government-mandated health-care plan that does not specifically exclude abortion coverage.
