Note:
Currently, 70 percent of abortion clinics are in inner-city or minority neighborhoods, with nearly 1/2 of all black babies being aborted (meaning a black baby is five times more likely than a white baby to be aborted). Currently, the United States is the only developed nation without a ban on sex-selection abortions.
