Erasing pro-life Christians of color

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

62% : Her colleague was presenting on examples of structural racism and claimed as a matter of fact -- with no need for argument -- that anti-abortion laws were examples of structural racism.
61% : These and other pro-life voices of color have been ignored, however, and even intentionally erased, by a narrative that breezily associates anti-abortion activism and policies with racism.
44% : She has worked against abortion for decades and vigorously celebrated with friends the recent Supreme Court ruling in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization that overturned Roe.
43% : The research firm Gallup, for instance, has found for the last several years that people of color are more supportive of restricting abortion than are whites.
40% : We should be amplifying those voices, no matter our stand on abortion.
38% : Whites in the same period opposed abortion in all cases at a rate of 16% to 19%.
38% : But as the Dobbs decision came into view, Gallup appears to have removed its year-by-year data from the relevant webpage, replacing it with only its survey from 2022 -- in which only 10% of people of color want to see abortion illegal in all cases, a drop of 13 percentage points in a single year.
34% : Realizing years later that doctors at a state hospital delivering the child sterilized her without her knowledge, she made the connection between the racist eugenics that ended her ability to have children and the killing of Black children via abortion.
33% : For more than a century, abortion has been embedded in U.S. culture explicitly as a tool of racist eugenics.
31% : From 2018 to 2021, the share of "Total Hispanic or non-White Americans" who wanted abortion to be illegal in all cases hovered in the low- to mid-20% range.
