Recent years have seen an influx or arguments centered around the notion that abortion is Black genocide, largely because pro-life proponents argue that Black women are disproportionately likely to terminate a pregnancy compared to others. Despite the hubbub being raised about abortion being nothing more than Black genocide in disguise, this movement is really nothing more than a conservative effort to link reproductive rights to racism in an effort to stymie progressive momentum on that front.
Here’s why we should question the “abortion as Black genocide” movement, and why it’s largely misguided in its efforts to bolster the standing of Black women in American society.

Plenty of news has been made recently by pro-life activists who have been working overtime to link the concept of abortion and other reproductive rights with Black genocide. A recent documentary from PBS recently drew attention from across the country because a number of activists at the recent March for Life were carrying “Black Lives Matter” signs with them as they walked. This has spurred a new conservation about the reproductive rights and social standing of Black women in America, which is why it’s so unfortunate this conversation has been hijacked by nefarious voices.
