We ask you, urgently: don’t scroll past this
Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.Help Now >

MUNTINLUPA, PHILIPPINES (Catholic Online) - Statistics showed that in 2012, the number of abortions among non-Hispanic black women in New York City amounted to 31,328.
In 2012, there were 24,758 live births from non-Hispanic black women in the Big Apple. There were 6,570 more abortions than live births of black children.
More recently, a "Pregnancy Outcomes" report from the New York City Department of Health and Mental Hygiene unveiled again in 2013, more black babies were aborted than born in the city.
A chart illustrated that 24,108 non-Hispanic black babies were born, while 29,007 were aborted. Considering all racial groups, abortions among non-Hispanic blacks remain the highest.
Many blame Planned Parenthood. "Planned Parenthood is an organization with racist roots in their founder Margaret Sanger," explained Hawaii State Rep. Bob McDermott. "They continue to target poor minorities - to wit, more black babies were aborted in New York City than born last year.
"They claim to be providers of reproductive health care. I'm not sure how the little babies whose parts are being sold would feel about that statement," he says, referring to the undercover videos that have been published.
"To Planned Parenthood, this was a business decision. Instead of throwing the baby parts in the trash as normal, they chose to make a buck!
"Planned Parenthood is simply an evil organization driven by greed, sex, and immorality. It is utterly without value. Nothing surprises me when it comes to an organization whose main purpose is killing the unborn."
