Black girls reach puberty slightly earlier on average than white girls do.
Physical maturity does not mean mental maturity, and so they for a longer period of time in their adolescence would be vulnerable to being exploited by older males who wanted to take advantage of their lack of good judgment.

Apparently not a 'one off' issue in more places than Georgia:
"I believe it's deliberate," she said, citing Oregon as one example where most abortion clinics are located in black neighborhoods despite an overwhelming white population in the state.
Ross agrees that abortion is having a disproportionate impact on the black community.
Davis, who is black, said she just wants to see an end to what she called a racially motivated practice.
"If they will stop targeting my people, I will fade softly into the background," she said." - www.foxnews.com...
