text: Why are black women dispropotionally represented? Excellent question. I would suggest that it's because they have less access to contraceptives given the fact that they earn about 17% less than white women. They probably are less likely to have insurance as well.
  
  Ironically pro-life attacks on Planned Parenthood will increase the number of abortions.
