Anyone read the book, Freakanomics?

The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime:
J. Donohue III AND S. Levitt

"We offer evidence that legalized abortion has contributed significantly to recent crime reductions. Crime began to fall roughly eighteen years after abortion legalization. The five states that allowed abortion in 1970 experienced declines earlier than the rest of the nation, which legalized in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. States with high abortion rates in the 1970s and 1980s experienced greater crime reductions in the 1990s. In high abortion states, only arrests of those born after abortion legalization fall relative to low abortion states. Legalized abortion appears to account for as much as 50 percent of the recent drop in crime."

Not a perfect study by any means, but really interesting to think about.

Another 300,000 people in the top 1% of income.
Another 30,000 doctors
Another 150,000 engineers
Another 110,000 lawyers (okay... not good...)
Another 300,000 morons
Another 300,000 geniuses

OK, if we ignore all the actual evidence, and pretend we don't have any information, then you have a point.

And if it means killing her child, you're fine with that. A human being is a human being, nothing more, and nothing less.



I suppose that's why 40% of all violent crime today involves alcohol right?


And you're far less productive because you're a drug addict. Just like all the rest like you. You've deluded yourself into thinking that isn't the case.

OK. SO you have proven yourself to be blindly ignorant and incapable of rational thought. You cry about killing a human yet all I see in the first trimester is a conglomeration of cells and woman goo that can be easily removed if the woman wants. Of course we an only see it your way. You have the moral high ground. Jesus saves right?

Less productive. Buddy, I bet I get more done before 10am then you get done all week. I am at the top of my game. I also have a side business doing freelance branding and advertising work. I am an great shape for my age (though I could be better if I got out more).

I am not a drug addict. Again this is your ignorance. You assume that one is an addict because they use a substance. Pot is no more a threat a human life than a banana.

People like you should not be allowed to vote in my opinion. You refuse to see things any other way but your own and as such you vote for any criminal that plays into your hate and intolerance and this is what is killing society.

Sadly, I support a free democracy so I have to tolerate your existence and your meddling in the affairs of rational people trying to make this country a better place for all not just the racist, sexist, homophobic, war-mongering, greedy, fanatical few.

Luckily, I have faith in humanity not some petty God and hopefully humanity will find a way to make sure people like you stay in the super minority while we make the world a great place to live for everyone.

Of course words mean things and you're playing with those meanings.

No, I'm not.

No children were harmed during the termination of pregnancy procedures, since children, having already been born, cannot be aborted.

Words mean things.

Which of these is the child, FJ?

Interesting. I wonder what this is?



I'll tell you what it is. It's a baby that is sucking it's thumb that many seem to think is quite fine to be bodily ripped apart. I mean, who really cares about this clump of cells, right? Everyone who is pro-choice is complicit in the dismembering of this baby.

If I were a right-wing ideologue, I would demand the protection of the first two, and tell the third that he's on his own; bootstraps and all.

They do. Some meanings people put more value in. Like the meaning of life. You, obviously, don't value innocent life too highly.

If I was a left-wing ideologue I'd wish the 2nd one was bodily ripped to pieces so I wouldn't be inconvenienced.

Looks like an unborn fetus to me.

You don't know what I value, so you can make ridiculous assumptions all you want.
