Reply to comment by HanaBothWays in Mother facing charges after allegedly cyberbullying her own daughter by Hour_Doughnut2155

Abortion lowers crime rates due to less abused and traumatized people becoming criminals. So yeah kinda, what is even your goal with your replies?

Crime rates went down because we took lead out of gasoline and stopped damaging developing brains.

That is a theory but another great theory with a nice amount of statistical research and support is the 1.5 million abortions at the height of legalization. Here is a podcast talking to researchers and a transcript. https://freakonomics.com/podcast/abortion-and-crime-revisited/

That’s nice what does it have to do with child abuse

So you didn't read the transcript about the research and who was choosing abortion and why?

Why someone chooses to have an abortion is not my business!

Also you still don’t know whether the lady in this article abused her daughter because she was an unwanted child. You have no basis for that. Plenty of people choose to have kids and then treat those kids horribly. People abusing their kids is not a soapbox for you or anyone else to make a pro-abortion argument. Neither is poverty or crime or any other societal ill - other than people being denied their right to have an abortion if they want/need one.

Actually, all of those reasons are GREAT arguments to use for pro choice! Use all the arguments that imply making a child and adults life better. You don't get reproductive rights in a vacuum, you get them by convincing every single person in every way possible that they are good for the child, the individual, and society. Sorry you are so salty about this but we should use every tool in the toolbox. Also no one linked this mom to abortion directly, they even couched that in the original comment. Stay mad.

Actually it implies that you think forced abortions as part of a eugenics program might be a neat idea which is why it’s awful.

No it doesn't lol, no where did we say force or imply it. Have an abortion for literally any reason you want as long as it's your choice.

I mean when you see a story like this and your first thought is “timely and well-placed abortions prevent things like this!” yes actually that implies it pretty strongly.
