https://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/roe-v-wade-reversal/ https://www.igmchicago.org/surveys/roe-v-wade-reversal/ Is all you need to understand why the state should not only allow abortion, but actively encourage people to get them. Unwanted children unequivocally make society worse.
- klipt 4y agoIf you're arguing from a purely utilitarian perspective, it seems you should argue to legalize not just abortion right up to birth, but also infanticide by parents. If either parent can kill an unwanted child, then by definition all surviving children will be wanted by both parents, which solves the problem of one parent potentially being a "deadbeat" and the state having to step in, etc.
- lettergram 4y agoYou’re right, so do crippled and elderly… You do realize you’re arguing for eugenics?
- colinmhayes 4y agoThe government playing ads that say “don’t have kids if you’re not ready” isn’t eugenics. I fully believe 95%+ of people are capable of being good parents at some point in their life. That point might not be when they have kids though. Now obviously we shouldn’t be killing people, because that’ll lead to everyone being scared of being killed. Since people aren’t fetus’s they won’t worry about society discarding them.
