Women who seek abortions are usually poor, or don't feel that they want to have children. Their children are either unwanted or grow up in unsatisfactory conditions. Levitt's theory is based on the assumption that women are pretty able to tell when a good time to have a baby is, and what circumstances are necissary.
If you're no expert, then it's awfully presumptuous of you to assume what God thinks. You should also know that anti-depressants don't stop people from crying. SSRI's just even out your moods so if you're depressive, you're able to function like a normal person.
The death penalty is a completely different issue. I think there's a thread somewhere else. There's no reason for it, economically, aside from revenge and punishment. Statistically, it doesn't prevent crimes. | open mouth insert foot apparently a man wrote before he read. i was referring to the amount of time so many criminals remain on death row for. i know there is a death peanlty. duh. i said i was no expert on moral values. not god or anti- depressants. note the period. and by me saying god must be crying and taking them in no way did i say they cant be done at the same time same time. i expressed my opinion on abortions i thought that is what this forum was for.
i see that mans point how abortions could help reduce crime. my opinion on that and please excuse me for having one.... everyday i deal with women that are pregnant with childern they dont want that yes, are often fathered by criminals, most of these women are poor and so are the fathers. they cant afford to take care of these childern, they also cant afford an abortion. they get on welfare, move into public housing, and those unwanted childern are running around raising themselves in places that it is considered cool to own guns and sell drugs. these childern grow up. wellah... theres some of your criminals. if abortion were illegal except in extreme situations, men and women that so freely have unprotected sex and greatly add to the welfare, hiv and std epidemic would eventually learn their lesson after being forced to give birth to and pay for a child. these people would be more likley to use protection or /and birth controll, some will never learn. ive also noticed that not all of the childern of criminals grow up to be criminals. and not every criminal comes from a parent that is one. it would be like playing russian rolate, genetics are never certain.
god bless all of us |
