— There is such a thing as ‘Too Late’ UNION CITY, California, May 6th, 2019 | TruthPR.Com | — According to The Social and Economic Status of the BLACK POPULATION in the United States: An Historical View, 1790-1978, a statistical reconstructed estimate of the total fertility rate for Black women in the 1850’s was about 7.9 births per woman. 100 years later, in 1950, the total fertility rate for Black women was about 3.6. That’s a 54% decline. In the 1960s, Black Americans distrusted government and any attempt to limit our population. We feared the motivation behind taxpayer funded birth control clinics was nothing more than a malevolent effort to limit Black Political Power. In 1965, at a meeting of the Council of Philadelphia Anti-Poverty Action Committee, Cecil Moore, president of the local NAACP chapter condemned a Planned Parenthood program in northern Philadelphia because 70% of the population were Black. Moore labeled the plan as “replete with everything to help the Negroes commit race suicide.” On January 22nd, 1973, abortion on demand became legal nationwide. Sixty (60) days later in a March 22nd, 1973 Jet Magazine article entitled “Legal Abortion: Is It Genocide Or Blessing In Disguise?” Jesse Jackson warned: “Abortion is genocide. … Anything growing is living. If you got the thrill to set the baby in motion and you don’t have the will to protect it, you’re dishonest.” By 1975, two (2) years after the legalization of abortion in 1973, the total fertility rate for Black women fell to 2.3 births per woman. Today, the Democratic Party and Black leadership in high places, including Jesse Jackson, endorse abortion on demand through all nine (9) months of pregnancy. Today, according to the National Vital Statistics Report, Volume 68, Number 1 dated January 10th, 2019, the Total Fertility Rate (TFR) for Black Americans is 1.8. If we look closer, only twelve (12) states out of fifty (50), plus the District of Columbia, whose Total Fertility Rate (TFR) is 1.8, have a Total Fertility Rate (TFR) above the replacement level of 2.1. The states with the lowest Total Fertility Rate (TFR) for Black American women are Wyoming (1.1), California (1.5), New York (1.5), Connecticut (1.5), West Virginia (1.5), Rhode Island (1.5), Montana (1.6), and New Mexico (1.6). The news only gets worse. In addition to the above, there are eight (8) states, plus the District of Columbia, that currently have no gestatio
