No it's not. Nobody is making a genetic argument at all. It's simple to find statistics that show strong correlation between crime rates and growing up in poverty, though, or between poverty rates and lower rates of correct contraceptive use. It's not eugenics to suggest that more unwanted children growing up in poverty might lead to a higher crime rate.
- yucky 4y agoSo we should sterilize the poor then, right? Or at least, after 1 child...?
- Taywee 4y agoNo. That's a frankly ridiculous strawman. Taking something somebody says to an extreme strawman is not arguing in good faith.
- usrn 4y agoI don't know if you listen to the discussions the far right has. Many of the pro abortion arguments are that certain groups produce children which tend to commit a disproportionate amount of crime are also the same groups which have a disproportionate number of abortions. Personally I think leaving it up to the states means that these groups will vote for it to be legal in their jurisdictions, so everyone (the left, the right, the moderates) ends up happy.
