Could the strategic placement of abortion clinics in predominantly black neighborhoods be more than a mere coincidence? Prepare to confront a startling reality as we delve into the disproportionate impact of abortion on black communities. With a pro-life lens, this episode unravels a narrative that's been largely ignored, one where black women—constituting just 14% of the childbearing population—account for a staggering 36% of reported abortions. Amidst a backdrop of silence in mainstream discourse, particularly among voices championing equality and inclusion, we challenge the status quo by shining a light on these unsettling statistics and their profound implications for the African American community.
As we peel back layers of complexity in the abortion debate, this episode does not shy away from asking tough questions about the historical and societal factors at play. With a critical eye, we examine the alarming accessibility of abortion services to African American and Hispanic populations and provoke thought on potential underlying intentions. Acknowledging the spectrum of health considerations that lead to abortions, our conversation seeks to inspire a deeper reflection on the broader societal ramifications and historical context of these high rates within black communities—a narrative set to unfold further in the continuing series. Join us for a thought-provoking journey into an issue that demands our attention and a more robust dialogue in the quest for understanding and change.

Speaker 2:Welcome back everybody. This is Walt Blackman. Welcome to the Walt Blackman Show. I hope you had a great and wonderful weekend. I know I did. Today we are going to continue to deep dive into the abortion question that is looming in Arizona, which is possibly or will possibly be on the ballot in November. It's an initiative. They need 385 plus or minus signatures to get on there. They're trying to do it, they're working it. It is something that we need to stop here in Arizona. We do that first by talking about it here on the Walt Blackman Show, we are going to deep dive into this issue. We're also going to talk about the abortion issue.
Speaker 3:The first and foremost issue is the quick thank you to our incredible sponsor, wborsons Consulting Services LLC.

Speaker 2:Welcome back everybody. This is Walt Blackman, and I do hope you had a good weekend. Let's go ahead and dive into this because we have a lot to unpack. This is part two of our part three series, when we are talking about abortion. Now, a lot of folks know that when you Google Walt Blackman, two things come up criminal justice, reform and pro-life. Pro-life is number one. For me, pro-life is number one because, by the way, the numbers are looking in the black communities. Guess what? They are looking to continue to decrease the black population.
Speaker 2:Now, if you don't believe that, all you need to do is look at the data. The data is there. It's wide open. Anybody can check that data. There's a report that came out this past year from guess what the Biden administration talking about this, talking about the issues, the numbers, the high projected numbers in the future, about the abortion issues. Now in Arizona, last time we were talking about the abortions to the abortion access act and that will be on the ballot. So they are attempting to get a little over 385,000 signatures to be on the ballot plus or minus. I don't have that number in front of me. However, they need that amount of signatures to get on the ballot and they are close to getting it and there's a good chance that this might be on the ballot. That's another conversation. On why we don't have a counter initiative as conservatives to go to the ballot, that's another conversation. However, what is not being talked about, ladies and gentlemen, is the high number of abortions in black communities.
Speaker 2:Now, I have made and talked about several, several and several, several podcasts in the past about the black abortion rate and how it has skyrocketed and how, how it came to be and just a craziness to it. And if you want to go back and listen to some of those in the past, you're more than welcome to do that. And again, you just go to my website, you just go to podcasts, spotify, and you'll be able to listen to that. But right now I want to talk about the new numbers that are out in 2023. Now, according to a 2023 abortion surveillance report written by the CDC, while black women constitute only 14% everybody of the child bearing population, they obtain 36.2% of the abortions. Report it abortions. Those are the ones that will report it. That's typically a crazy number to be able to say, yeah, our population is actually doing 36% of the abortions and we are only 14% of the childbearing population. That is double plus one, everybody. Now, to put that in more equatable terms for folks Now we're talking 36.2 of the total childbearing population, which is 14%. 36.2 is black women. That equates to a thousand black abortions every single day, not a thousand a month, not even thousand every two months. A thousand abortions every single day happen in black communities. Black communities like Washington DC are states where the population is heavily populated by black Americans. Now, 79% of abortions in Mississippi and I'm using Mississippi as an example the abortions are obtained by black women. In Washington DC, more than 60% of the abortions are performed on black women, and the list goes on and on and on and on.
Speaker 2:But nobody's talking about this. These numbers are not just statistics, everybody. They represent a significant and troubling trend within the black communities. Why aren't people talking about this? Why is this number tucked away somewhere, nicely, politely, and covered in the liberal realm of conversations? Why isn't this number being brought up when we have folks talking about my body, my choice? But we have more black abortions than anybody and we are 14% of the childbearing population, but our numbers are at 36% plus. Why isn't the left talking about that? The left says that they are for equality, inclusion and all that stuff. That is a woke agenda. They pushed that on the black community but in the same time they will not really talk about the number of abortions that are happening.
Speaker 2:Since Roe v Way everybody 1973, roe v Way and I may have that year wrong, I'll go back and check it 20 million black babies have been exterminated. Now some people may think or say to me well, extermination, that's a bit harsh to say. It is a genocide that is happening on the black community. And anyone who is a black American who subscribes to this madness and thinks that it is okay that a thousand black babies are aborted every single day in black communities, where there are more planned parenthoods in black communities, and you think that that's okay, you have a definite disconnect to your culture.
Speaker 2:Now, I've often heard that people say the most dangerous people to a black woman's rights are black men talking against this abortion issue. That's what I hear, and I've also heard in some of these, some of these talks and some of these podcasts that simply because I am a man, I have no business talking about abortion. You may be right. You may be right. However, as a member of the black community who happens to be a male. Thank you, I have every right to talk about why our numbers have decreased since Roe v Way. Why aren't we 17% of the population, as we should be, instead of 13%? And that is the reason why I have a right to talk about this, because there is a direct linkage to the decrease in the population in the black community. Because of this. Now, I'm just going to call it like I see it, and if you don't like it, I do not care.
Speaker 2:My responsibility as a black leader, even though I'm a conservative and I'm a Republican, does not stop at criminal justice reform, does not stop at good, sound policies coming out of the state of Arizona. It doesn't stop there, everybody. You know where it stops. It doesn't Everybody when we have numbers such as these that have skyrocket to the point to where it is more a genocide than it is anything else. This is not women's health. Now it's not.
Speaker 2:Like you know, we had enough struggles with Roe v Way, which is which was not constitutional. Anyway, the Supreme Court actually pushed it back down to the state where it should be. It wasn't constitutional. They knew that. That's why the Democrats in DC wanted to push a national abortion rights agenda. So we know it's not constitutional and it has been pushed back down to the state. You don't think, as a black man, that I don't have a right to talk about or ask the question of why is the black population decreasing instead of increasing? I don't have a right to talk about that. I certainly do. I'm going to be talking about that and more, right after these messages from our sponsors.
Speaker 3:Arizona. Are you ready for a leader who knows what it takes to serve both on the battlefield and in the halls of government? Meet Walt Blackman. Walt is not just any leader. He's a decorated combat veteran, awarded the Bronze Star Medal for his extraordinary actions in Iraq.

Walt has already served two terms and he's not done yet. He's running to return to the Arizona House of Representatives to continue his dedicated service to the people of Arizona. Walt Blackman understands the challenges we face in healthcare, education and the economy. He's not just talking about change, he's actively working towards it.

Speaker 2:Well, hey, everybody, welcome back. This is Walt Blackman. At the Walt Blackman show, we're talking about the disproportionate rates in the black community. When we're talking about abortion, the overarching title and a theme of this is the Abortion Rights Access Act. That is going to be on the ballot in Arizona and it's going to be on the ballot this November. I don't see where they're going to have a problem getting those signatures. As I said before, they need over 385,000 signatures for people to actually see that initiative go up on the ballot in November and, because this is a presidential year, we may see more of a turnout to vote for that than we do not.
Speaker 2:Now let me make something clear. When we're talking about abortion, I don't believe that we need to revert back to the territorial law of abortion and that is under the criminal code, under the 13th series Now with. That says that anybody who kills a unborn baby, you fall under the man slaughter charges. That is the original territorial law of 1864. The problem with that particular law is is that the woman is also charged in that. Now, I don't think that that should be. I don't think we should have that put there, because there are many reasons which I don't agree with 99.9% of these reasons, but there are me. There are some reasons why people need to have an abortion. Some of those reasons may be health related. Some of those reason may be because of the baby is not forming properly or what. Have you something significant? Now I'm not talking about a baby who comes out and, may you know, may not have an arm. I'm talking about if you have a baby that's born without a brain, or you're born without some vital organ and I got it, or there is a problem with the delivery of the baby and the mother may be at risk, or the baby may be at risk. I got it. There should be provisions in our laws to protect women from those things. Now, I'm not one of these radicals that think that a woman's going to have a baby and the baby in the doctor says well, if you have this baby, then you will die. I think that should be a decision peripherally made by the family, by the woman and the other parent, if that person is there. Those are conversations that should be taken between them. However, I gotta tell you, if my wife were pregnant and the doctor said if you have this baby, then you will die, not if, or maybe or 10% or 90, you will die. Then, yes, I understand that, because I love my wife and I love any children that I have. However, I love my wife. There are circumstances where that's going to happen.
Speaker 2:However, when we are looking at the black abortion rates, it is significantly disproportionate rates. Now, research reports now, this is just last year Research suggests that the prevalence of abortion facilities within minority communities is a major contributor. I've said that for years. There are more planned parenthoods in black communities. I'm not talking Hispanic communities, I am not talking about Latino communities or any other minority community. I am strictly talking about black communities, because that's all I can talk to you, because I am not Hispanic, latino, asian, pacific Islander. I am not that, I'm a black American.
Speaker 2:There are more of these facilities within black communities. Why is that? I will tell you. Studies have shown that black women are five times more likely to have an abortion than white women. Well, hell, if there was an abortion clinic on every corner, yeah, I got it. If abortion was painted to a society, a community like it is okay to have an abortion regardless of what part of the pregnancy that you were in, then I got it. I mean, yeah, you know? Yeah, that makes sense. That makes sense.
Speaker 2:However, were these abortion facilities placed in minority communities for a reason, for a purpose? Now, some people may think that's a conspiracy. I do not. That is why I believe, and the stats show, that abortions are higher in black communities because of these contributors, and one of those contributors is the easy access to these facilities Taking out, as I just said when I began about the health issues. Now, furthermore, an investigation this past year, investigated by protecting black life organizations, revered that 79% of the planned parenthoods surgical abortion facilities are located within walking distance. Everybody of black Americans and Hispanic communities. Think about that. They are in a walking distance. 79% of these facilities are in walking distance of African American and Hispanic communities. Why is that? Does anybody want to answer that question on the left? Why do you have more of these facilities, these abortion surgical facilities, in minority communities than you do anywhere else?
Speaker 2:Now, I live in Arizona, I live in the northern part of Arizona and where I live well, particularly actually in Arizona, it's 3% black American. In Arizona maybe a little less. However, where I live, it's just I don't know, it's 0.2 or 3 or something like that very, very low. There is not one one Planned Parenthood in my neighborhood and I happen to live in a neighborhood where I might be the only black person living in this neighborhood and that's okay because that's where I chose to live and I wanted to retire in this area. As I drive around my town, I don't see Planned Parenthoods anywhere. Now, when you go down to Fountain Hill, scottsdale, some of those areas down there in the valley and the Phoenix area, I don't see any Planned Parenthoods. In Fountain Hills, I don't see any Planned Parenthoods in some of these neighborhoods that have two and three and four million dollar homes. I don't see that. However, when you go downtown or you go in the areas where they are more populated with minorities Hispanic and black Americans when you know it, you see Planned Parenthoods just about on every corner of some of these communities. 79% everybody 79% of Planned Parenthoods are in walking distance.
Speaker 2:Can she tell us something?
Speaker 2:And if we are not talking about the strategic placement of these facilities and we're not asking these questions about the accessibility that are targeted to these demographics that, the demographics that I have talked about if we're not talking about that, there is a big disconnect on where we are at Now. The roots of the issue are real, real deep and are complex. We're going to be talking about that in part three and I really believe that we're going to have to be talking a little bit more for this. There's going to be some more series that we talk on on this, because it's a lot. It's a lot the next time, on part three, we're going to be talking about how the historical issues actually play into this whole abortion issue in black communities. We're going to be talking about that. We're going to be talking about more and we are going to make it known to people, particularly on the left, that your days of killing black babies at the disproportionate rates that we have seen since Roe v Way, your days are numbers. We will be right back after these messages.
Speaker 3:First and foremost, a quick thank you to our incredible sponsor, wb Consulting Services LLC. They're the trailblazers in business consulting right here in beautiful Phoenix.

Speaker 2:Okay, everybody, welcome back. This is Walt Blackman, and we do appreciate you coming in to listen to our show. And, again, if you want to listen to some of our past shows, all you need to do is go to the Walt Blackman show and you can go on Apple, you can go on Spotify, you can go on all those great and wonderful podcast platforms and you can listen to some of the older shows that we have. Next time, on the Walt Blackman show, we'll be talking about part three, finishing up this crucial, crucial segment of the high rate and disproportionate rates of black abortions in the black community. Now, everybody understand this, the impact that these abortion rates extend beyond the immediate, and it touches on all the broader social and cultural issues that we see in the United States, particularly in black communities, including the erosion of the potential future of countless American black children. And it's also worth discussing and understanding how these rates affect our perceptions of life, the right to life, the value of life, and how we assign these different segments to different parts of our populations. Now, as we wrap up today's episode, everybody, I want you to know that the messages that you are hearing from me come from my heart and I urge you, our listeners, to reflect on the significance of these statistics and much more to follow in other series and what they mean to our community and to society, in particularly the folks that are on the other side, that happen to be black Americans. You can keep your views, of your liberal views, but if we take off the political hat and we look at what is actually happening to the population of black Americans, I think maybe we can all get on board that we need to protect life. It's essential to be able to do that. It's essential that we're able to engage and have these discussions about difficult topics like abortion, especially especially when we talk about the disproportionate amount of black abortions and minority or black communities.
Speaker 2:We're going to be talking about this in part three of this series. What do we do about this issue, about the abortion issue, particularly the abortion agenda or the abortion initiative that's going to the Arizona ballot in November? Please make sure that you log on to the Walt Blackman show. Your likes and your subscriptions are needed to keep us running.
