Abortion laws affect everyone in this country. Every unwanted child grows up to be a citizen here that you and I and everyone else will have to interact with. The econ literature has shown that about 40% of the reduction in violent crime since the 90's has been due to the proliferation of abortion.
- clairity 4y agofirst, if you truly believe that, i have a bridge to sell you in arizona. economists make unwarranted claims buttressed by biased models all the time. second, that's ultimately a racist argument disguised behind safetyism, neither of which have a leg to stand on. every unwanted child still wants to grow up, be they poor or brown or whatever. let's welcome them rather than paint them over with disgust and wanton disposability. besides, the point was not to debate abortion, but that it's an (wedge) issue used to distract and divide, rather than focusing the populace on the most pressing problems we face. covid, mass shootings, or climate change (as opposed to pollution) are suitable alternative distractions to consider in place of abortion.
