One ad that I keep seeing over and over again has the claim that, and this is a QUOTE, “violent criminals, murderers and rapists are roaming the streets” in Prince William County thanks to the cronies of the Democratic candidate.

People really fall for this bullshit?

Gullible people seem to fall for the “_______ wants a TOTAL ban on abortion” nonsense. So it clearly preys upon the idiocy of both sides.

Right. Some ignorant jerk gets fired and blames his inadequacies on misinterpreted political jargon.

Did you miss all of 2020 where “defund the police” actually was a policy and people were unable to object to it in public?

The government was jailing people for objecting to defend the police? Where did this happen? And where were police departments ACTUALLY defended?

So I guess you did miss all of 2020 in DC, lol

DC police budget was not cut. No one was jailed for objecting to DTP.

Violent crimes happen more than abortions either about 33% more violent crimes than abortions occurring every year in the United States.

If you look at overall crimes, there are 17 crimes committed for every abortion in the United States every year.

Defund the police and the occurrence of violent and non violent crimes continues to rise. Implement reasonable abortion restrictions and abortions continue to occur although the numbers will most likely decrease.

So for those that make data driven decisions it is an easy one to make.

^ My thoughts exactly! And most abortions (> 95 % ) are preventable just use protection, iud, pills, vasectomy, etc but crime is not. Sometimes you are at the wrong place at the wrong time. My vote is for crime prevention and pregnancy prevention (get an IUD ladies or vasectomy brothers)

Implicit in your assumptions is that there is just as close of a connection between “defunding the police“ and more crime as there is between abortion restrictions and fewer abortions. Also, you are assuming that fewer legal abortions mean fewer overall abortions when it could just as easily mean, fewer legal abortions but more illegal ones.

In other words, in both instances you are assuming a linearity that either doesn’t exist or that you haven’t proven.

It is absolutely direct with defund the police. You can’t really still be blind to that.

If you demoralize the police and fully de incentivize fighting crime, there will be more crime. Period.

Show your work.

Hi PP. YOU have to show your work first. Complete cites. Attributions. Full bibliography.

Then, maybe we will respond to your ridiculous demand in every thread.

No. You don’t get to decide what I do with my body. Period.

- except vaccines. Then, I have to do whatever you say.

Yep. Then that whole “my body my choice” crap goes right out the window.

At no point was it ILLEGAL for you to not get vaccinated. Dumb comparison.

Seriously. People in NOVA can just drive to DC/Maryland if abortion is banned. We’re not talking about a state like Texas.
