10. Note: According to Juan Williams, "Enough," "The Phony Leaders, Dead-End Movements, and Culture of Failure
That Are Undermining Black America — and What we Can do About it." Copyright 2006, p. 216., "In thirty (30)
years from 1950 to 1980, households headed by Black women who never married jumped from 3.8 per thousand to
69.7 per thousand. n 1940, seventy -five percent (75%) of Black children lived with both parents. By 1990 only thirty-
three percent (33%) of Black children live with a mom and dad — 'largely a result of marked increases in the
number of never-married Black mothers.'"
11. Note: "Abortion rates continue to be highest for women who are: aged 20 -24, cohabiting, poor, or non - Hispanic
Black. These same groups also have higher rates of unintended births and, in turn, unintended pregnancy (Finer
and Henshaw, 2006). The national decline in abortion was observed among most, but not all , groups of
women. In particular, abortion rates for poor women , who now make up 42% of abortion patients, increased
18% ." Population Association of America 2011 Annual Meeting Program, Session 93: Abortion I, "Changes in U.S.
Abortion Rates by Subgroup, 2000 and 2008", By Rachel K. Jones, Guttmacher Institute and Megan L. Kavanaugh,
