I wasn't challenging you. I'm shocked it's anywhere near that high.
However, reading the first batch of comments at the link, there does seem to be a problem with the calculation.

According to the most recent CDC abortion data reported in 2008 from 28 areas in different states in the country, 47 percent of pregnancies by African-American women are terminated — 472 abortions per 1,000 live births.

472 abortions + 1000 live births = 1472 pregnancies.
472 abortions / 1472 pregnancies = 32% of pregnancies result in abortions.

(Note that 472 abortions / 1000 live births = 47.2% of live births result in abortions -- an impossibility, since a successful abortion cannot result in a live birth.)

Still, even if they messed up the accounting....32% of a people group disappearing in abortion. That is devastating!

I'll also point out the data is quite old -- 2008 -- and then they equivocate it anyway since ...

That data also may be skewed because there is no federal mandate requiring health-care agencies to submit abortion data to the government, and almost half of all agencies that did submit data to the CDC did not include information about race or ethnicity.

So it would seem that the numbers that are available point to a very high ratio, but also may be quite inaccurate.

A shocking statistic nonetheless.

That's not entirely true. There are abortion survivors. However, I will grant that their numbers are statistically insignificant.
