Nearly half of all African-American pregnancies end in abortion, and social inequality isn’t the only reason why.

It’s never been a more dangerous time to be a black baby. While overall rates of abortion have declined to the lowest level since 1974, the Guttmacher Institute recently reported alarming increases in racial disparities between the rates of abortion for black and white women. Analyzing more than 30 years of data collected directly from abortion providers, Guttmacher found that black women’s abortion rates are now five times greater than those of white women.

Currently, white women’s rates of abortion have declined to 10.5 abortions per 1,000 women while black women’s rates are an alarming 50 abortions per 1,000 black women.

Since 1973, the number of abortions by African American women has totaled more than twelve million.

We intend to build a memorial to all the U.S. victims of this unholy practice. We seek to gather 50,000,000 pennies, one for each of the missing children, and construct a national memorial in Central Illinois . Our hope is to draw attention to the stark reality of abortion. We will also be providing information on alternatives to this shedding of innocent blood. We welcome the ongoing prayers and support from those who mourn with us and feel the weight of this burden.
