TLDR
This paper found that the availability of family planning services in U.S. counties is positively related to the percentage of blacks in the population but has yet to establish the correct interpretation for the linkage.Abstract:
Previous research by Kammeyer et al. has found that the availability of family planning services in U.S. counties is positively related to the percentage of blacks in the population but has yet to establish the correct interpretation for the linkage. Services provided through county health departments and hospitals are usually provided by authority of local boards and county commissions. These people respond to local elites and share local political norms. Threatened whites are more disposed to fertility control programs than whites living in nonblack areas. Little support is found for an altruistic interpretation of local policy decisions. The decisions regarding services provided by Planned Parenthood and O.E.O. are due mainly to urbanism and are not consistent with either the racial or the altruistic interpretation. The variables used to determine these conclusions were measures of black concentration county political orientations other policies affecting blacks and the availability of family planning services.read more
