[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To be fair, didn’t freakonomics cover the statistics on violent crime going down after abortion was legalized?

I’m in no way using this as an argument, just saying that info is actually out there.[/quote]

Are you speaking of a podcast? We should take the word of a podcast to support aborting babies? How do we decide which baby will grow up
to be violent and criminal so we can kill him or her before they can be born?[/quote]

Dp- the podcast talks about a famous study done. I think it was in Hungary. 
It’s not a secret. The info is out there.  [/quote]

Before Freakonomics was a podcast, it was an extremely popular book.

This wikipedia article does a great job explaining the theory expressed in the Freakonomics book that legalization of abortion leads to reduced crime. (The leading study was in Sweden, not Hungary, but the book considered the effects of legalized abortion in America).

The wiki article also discusses the many scholarly critiques of the theory.

Abortion was initially a eugenics effort before being mainstreamed as a form of birth control. It makes sense that as the populations of terminated pregnancies change, the social effects change too. [/quote]

Classic example of how our schools fail to educate people.

Abortion has been around since humans have been around. Why?  Because sometimes a woman does NOT WANT to be pregnant and carry a fetus to term, for whatever reasons. It’s only in recent centuries—really decades—that religious conservatives have gotten so hyped up about it. [/quote]

So safe and rare is now convenient and on demand?

Yeah, we knew it was, the whole time. But it must be freeing to actually admit the truth after pretending for so long. [/quote]

The difference between zealots like you and people like me is I believe women are human beings who get to decide what happens with their bodies. And I don’t think labeling a woman’s decision not to go through with a pregnancy as “for convenience” is a negative thing. Because I am not a Neanderthal when it comes to women’s and girls’ autonomy and full humanity. [/quote]
