Come now. White women use Planned Parenthood, too. Moreover, per abortion statistics from
Guttmacher Institute, white women made up the majority of women who had abortions in 2014 (34%). Now, whether or not they had those abortions at a Planned Parenthood clinic is debatable. But linking Black women to Planned Parenthood simply because they tend to use this agency moreso than White women to resolve their feminine health issues is rather unfair and very misleading in the grand scheme of things. After all, it's not like Black women use Planned Parenthood exclusively. They just use them moreso than Whites and there are two fundamental reasons for this:
1)
Income. Black women tend to be of low-income and, therefore, can't afford to go to a private clinic for their healthcare needs, especially where abortions are concerned.
2) Marriage. Because most Black women who have abortions live in urban areas where poverty is prevalent, most of these women aren't married and, as such, are more likely to abort their fetus because they don't want to raise a child out of wedlock as opposed to White women who do tend to marry more often. But even if they don't, most White women within the age group most likely to have an abortion (25-40) are more financially well-off than minorities, Black women in particular.
When you look beyond the numbers of one abortion entity, the truth reveals itself. Folks need to stop using Planned Parenthood as their moral, political scapegoat especially since statistically, abortions make up only 3% of their total services rendered.
