MADISON -- Many pro-choice advocates argue for abortion to be “safe, legal, and rare.”Madison Catholic Herald
But with the number of people killed by abortion in the United States topping 48 million since 1973, even the argument of “rare” is becoming less certain of an achievement. In 2008 alone, several hundred thousand more than the equivalent of the state of Rhode Island — the 43rd most populous state — was aborted.
Hidden within these numbers is the statistical fact that, proportionally, the hardest-hit populations in the U.S. are minorities, and in particular blacks. According to cumulated statistics, more African American children have been killed by abortions since 1973 than the total number of African American deaths from AIDS, violent crimes, accidents, cancer, and heart disease combined.
A great writeup, definitely go check it out.

My writing's only as good as the material. I actually had to cut a few paragraphs detailing more of the statistics, because I was too long. The data on this topic is so vast it's almost overwhelming. Bomberger and co. have done an incredible job laying out even just the most hard-hitting aspects of it on their website.
