Abortion question....

Someone asked me a good question....The largest demographic of those who receive abortions are single African American women. If you are against abortion, does that mean that you are inherently for Black Lives matter? If you are for women's rights/proabortion, does that mean that you are inherently against BLM? Banning abortions allows more single African American women to have their babies which is consistent with the BLM movement. Thoughts?

Abortion and BLM have nothing to do with each other. The reason for the higher abortion rate among Black women is lack of quality sex education, difficulty in obtaining contraception, and higher poverty rates making pregnancy and raising children out of the question for many of them. Banning abortion wouldn't solve these systemic problems and would make some of them worse.

BLM's goal is to reduce the number of deadly interactions between Black citizens and the police. Anyone truly concerned about Black people (and not just using them as a cudgel to complain about liberals) would support both BLM and abortion rights.
