"Black women are nearly four times more likely to have an abortion than white women.
Black women make up the largest percentage of all abortions performed and have the highest abortion rate, according to 2019 data from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the most recent year for which the CDC reported this information.
Out of 629,898 abortions reported to the CDC for 2019, Black women accounted for 38.4 percent of them. By comparison, white women made up 33.4 percent of those abortions.
Abortion rates were 3.6 times higher among Black women when compared to white women."
With all the various birth control methods, easier access, (free in some cases, mail order, some anonymous access) and "morning after pills", why is abortion a birth control of choice for some. Are their studies available relating to BC acceptance, usage, failure amongst all racial groups? I get that many fundamentalist religious groups are against both along with education, but wouldn't their stats be incorporated in unwanted birth studies?

Abortion is less prison slave labor for the corporations that greatly benefit and less government expenditures for raising children out of wedlock.
