| mrstickball said: Just wondering, from the pro-choice people: Why exactly do we *need* abortions in the case of entirely social reasons? Wouldn't it make more sence to just carry the child to full term and have someone adopt it? We've seen through scientific studies that having abortions do indeed have consequences on women that go through them (even moreso than post-partem depression). Why then can't they just carry these babies to full term, exactly? |
There are strong statistical correlations that suggest that abortion has drastically lowered the crime rate more than any other factor since the passage of Roe vs Wade. I believe the data correlates with other countries as well.
Most who used to get abortions wouldn't put up for adoption, and instead keep the child, or try and keep the child for a year or two, are forced to give it up and it becomes "unadoptable" by people who only want babies.
These people statistically more often than not live horrible horrible lives and become criminals.
Also, I'm not seeing how abortion being illegal will stop abortions. In most states you don't report that you are performing an abortion now.
Making abortion illegal will just make it the next "Prohibition Era". Though without all the cool old timey music.
