Pastors see a wariness among Black men to talk abortion politics as Biden works to shore up base
==========
Black men traditionally back Democrats, but are unenthusiastic about Biden. President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris are wooing voters who support abortion rights, while Trump and his surrogates pursue anti-abortion voters. Democratic U.S. Rep. James Clyburn of South Carolina is concerned that Trump's hyper masculine-campaign style is drawing Black male voters away from the Democratic Party. Biden is trying to shore up his loyal base after his dismal debate performance. Black clergy have mixed views on Biden's character and fitness. Abortion remains a fractious issue across Black Protestant churches. Planned Parenthood is working to engage and mobilize Black men on the issue of abortion. Black Americans are more than twice as likely to die in childbirth, and states with the most restrictive barriers to abortion have the highest Black maternal mortality rates.
