Illinois collects data about who gets abortions. But it keeps race and ethnicity hidden. – WBEZ (Chicago)

A 2013 state rule forbid releasing even aggregate data, meaning a summary of information, about race and ethnicity as well as a batch of other metrics about patients who receive abortions. But that rule is tied to a law that no longer exists.

The state won’t release the figures because they will be abhorrent. If the clinic in the west loop, which is located in a mostly white area, and probably the most expensive in the state, has only 1/3rd of its murders being white babies, then the stats throughout the rest of the state must be shocking to the conscious, as BIPOC babies are slaughtered with impunity.

I suspect the group of “natural conservatives” are a high percentage of those aborting their babies in Illinois.

Wrong answer, bigot. It’s gestators, men, people with uterus.

Wrong again, bigot. Some gestators don’t identify as ‘persons’ but instead, as transhumans or some other spiritual identity!!!!
