3 RespuestasEditado por BlaqSpiral: 10/7/2016 7:10:49 PMI'm just going to go out on a limb and say no shit... but that doesn't mean it's right. I could make much of the same arguments for genocide in the United States using the same basic logic. People aren't against abortion because of economics or any other statistical reasons, they're against it because you're butchering human life because you could not keep it in your pants or your legs together. It's that basic. Children are expensive and having them at the wrong time is crippling for many, but it was "your" decision that lead to the creation of life(99% of the time) and it shouldn't be extinguished because of your failures... obviously the current system is fouled up by hypocrisy, but that doesn't excuse the immoral stain that is abortion.

1 RespuestaEditado por Flee: 10/8/2016 10:41:31 PMIt's worth pointing out that these findings are highly criticized and have been disputed by several other studies, along with there existing a number of methodological flaws in that study. I'm not saying it's wrong, but its findings are very likely overstated. And that's coming from someone who fully supports the legality of abortion.

2 RespuestasI think women should have a choice, but that doesn't mean that I don't feel like it's a form of murder. This coming from a non-Christian.

18 RespuestasJust based on the abstract, it sounds more like an argument that less children raised in poverty lead to less crime, and that they are simply attributing a significant contribution to abortion despite there being other reasons available. Which could also be attributed to the standard of living constantly increasing.
