Unlike some of you, I do have a life. But thanx for the reminder/QUOTE]
..the question was the rate of pregnacy outside of wedlock for the Black-American community and who was responsible...based on your own finally posted data, if I may quote:
“The proportions of all births that are to unmarried women increased in 2003 in the largest race or Hispanic origin groups. They were 15.0 percent for API women, 23.6 percent for Hispanic origin groups. They were 15.0 percent for API women, 23.6 percent for non-Hispanic white women, 45.0 percent for Hispanic women, 61.3 percent for American Indian women, and 68.5% for non-Hispanic black women.
Birth rates increased for men in the 25-54 year age groups and were unchanged for men aged 55 and over.
Births by black men from 15 to 29:
2003…429,658 out of 573,776 or 76%”
1950…21.3%.. U.S. Department of Commerce, Bureau of the Census, Historical Statistics of the United States to 1975. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, National Center for Health Statistics, Monthly Vital Statistics Report, various years; and Trends in Illegitimacy, United States 1940-68.
...for that I must apologize I said 75%, the numbers are much closer to 70%,,,and although you have yet to proffer differing data, thanks for the post...
