Well the criminologists will tell you that about 15 years after Roe V Wade the crime rate dropped for no apparent reason. Unwanted kids grow up to be sociopathic teenagers and adults, a significant source of criminal activity in the US.
Roe V Wade saw the immedate drop in another important statistic: Female suicides.
So you just stay the hell away from policymaking now, thank you.
@torch9t9 Studies have also shown that as ice cream sails go up, so do swimming deaths. Conversely, as hot cocoa sails go up swimming deaths go down. However, correlation is not causation and it would show a statistical illiteracy to claim that Roe v. Wade can in any way be causally linked to either of those phenomenon you mentioned. Crimes rates and female suicide did not drop because of abortion.-
@ndrthrdr1 Based an article written by a criminologist named James Alan Fox. I'll private message you the link. Basically, there was a decrease in crime but it took place in the wrong age group. But in any case, the notion that abortion reduced crime rates comes from an article which has sense been (repeatedly) debunked. In fact, some evidence suggest abortion increases crime rates because men supporting children are less likely to commit crime. All links provided via PM.
@torch9t9 In the 1980s America entered the longest period of economic growth in the nation's history, this not being ended until Bush Jr.'s reign. Better job opportunities and increased income translates to happier, less crime/suicide prone people. Furthermore, we've had advances in investigation techniques and technology as well as crime prevention methods. Additionally, if you look at the age-adjusted suicide rate what you find is that the change in female suicides is due primarily to-
@torch9t9 Because there is now a greater concentration of women in the population who have reached a suicide-prone age. Additionally, Poland's crime rates as well as its maternal death rates, breast cancer rates, and miscarriage rates all went down following the ban of abortion. Is this -because- they banned abortion? maybe but probably not. It's just to illustrate that correlation is not causation. But let's ignore all of that.-
@torch9t9 Let's go ahead and say abortion reduces crimes rates and makes society happier as a whole. That's pretty neat, but so what? If our obligation to prevent crime/suicide supersedes our obligation to uphold individual rights, we could accomplish the same thing by implementing mandatory sterilization and accomplish the same goal only to a greater degree. But that's not the case. Individual rights are more important. So if the fetus has rights, crimes rates are irrelevant.
Bullshit. I don't care who she is she even forgot why she went to court. The case was about a woman's right to choose what she does with her body, not whether it is moral to abort or not. No woman WANTS an abortion for cryin' out loud. But every woman must have the right to choose. Anyway, how would anyone but the patient and doctor know whether one is to have an abortion or not? Are the doctors or nurses opening their christian pie holes?? Only theists have the issue all wrong. Continued.
@JstNEarthling Rubbish, more than fifty percent of the United States population identifies itself as prolife. That is a colossal population that cannot be generalized. Plenty of us are secular, rational people with logical arguments. Even if they were all theists, dismissing their argument on that ground is an ad hominem fallacy. As to how people know whether a woman obtained an abortion,
@WarThemedRevolution Children should be seen and not heard when their relevance is at an end. Tell me, as I asked in my video are you going to take and adopt the next child born to a 13yo girl who gets pregnant and help her through the pregnancy? You have no idea what it's like to go through this shit like a woman has to with men everywhere trying to tell them how to treat their own body. If a woman got pregnant to day and next week decided not to go through the pregnancy, but keep her job. con.
@JstNEarthling What I am or am not going to do is entirely irrelevant to the issue. It’s an ad hominem. Maybe I am a horrible, terrible, evil, religious zealot. These personal characteristics have nothing to do with the validity of my argument. Another ad hominem fallacy, I am afraid. In any case, there's a lengthy waiting list of people ready to adopt new born children across the nation and not enough babies being put up for adoption. but even if that were not the case, so what?-
@WarThemedRevolution "not enough babies put up for adoption" WTF is wrong with you? Are you mentally ill or something. first you want to tell a woman what to do with her body in a medical capacity which you really have no right to whether constitutional or not the rights are not yours. You're just a little NAZIs prick and my AD-HOMINEMS are for little irritating fuckers like you.
@JstNEarthling If the fetus has no right to life then whether it is wanted isn't important because the mother should be able to get an abortion either way. On the other hand, if it does have a right to life the fact that its mother doesn't want it doesn't invalidated that right any more than it would invalidated the right of any other child. I could turn your question around. Are you going to adopt the next thirteen year old rape victim taken from her parents? No? So its okay to terminate them?
Poor Norma. In 1973 you were confused. Now, 38 years later, you're more confused than ever. Poor Norma, you're now 58-59 years old, and mental frailty is overtaking you.
@indignant99 LOL, that’s hilarious. I suppose she might be a dotard, but she has been battling this for decades now. In 1973 she claimed to have been ganged raped to guilt the justices into siding with her. Since then she has admitted that she was lying. I now think she is lying about her Catholicism. In any case, though, I think her opinion changed because she fell in love with her daughter and realized what she might have missed.
@WarThemedRevolution YOU ARE A LIAR YOU LITTLE PISSANT BITCH. THERE WAS NOTHING IN THE CASE ABOUT GANG RAPE THAT DSHIT WAS MADE UP BY YOUR BROTHERS TO MAKE HER FEEL GUILTY YOU LITTLE PRICK BITCH. YOU'RE BEING REPORTED NOW YOU FUNDIE BASTARD. THESE ARE NOT AD HOMINEM THEY ARE REAL AFFECTATIONS BY THIS ASSHOLE.
I believe she can be compared to Paul from the Bible in a pro-life way as can Bernard Nathanson and Abby Johnson for the same reasons, however, what do you mean you don't think her Catholicism is genuine, is there anything that you think hints to this?
@BenjaminWirtz Taking a leadership role in the prolife movement is very difficult for secular people, so people like Bernard Nathanson ‘convert,’ to Catholicism after they become prolife. In the case of Norma McCorvey, she also claims to have conveniently stopped being gay when she turned prolife. I'm sorry, but I just find that coincidence a bit to astronomical. I mean, i'm kind of a skeptic of authority figures anyway, maybe I'm being too suspicious...
@toymation Yeah, but you know she isn’t alone. Alveda King, Martin Luther King Jr.’s niece, was prochoice and even got an abortion but now she is prolife. Bernard Nathanson cofounded NARAL and owned what was at the time the western hemisphere’s largest abortion clinic. After overseeing more than 60,000 abortions he is now prolife. The chick from Roe’s sister case Doe v. Bolton (who’s real name slips my mind,) is also now prolife. More recently Abby Johnson, who used to be a director of-
@toymation Planned Parenthood, who had an abortion herself, who participated in abortion operations, who admits to having helped underage girls circumvent parental consent laws, to helping get underage molestation victims who wanted to protect their rapist get secret abortions so the law doesn’t have to get in…is now hugely prolife. It's kind of eerie.
Alright guys, you know the drill! What are your thoughts? Personally, I doubt she is sincere in her Catholicism. I think that’s part of the rhetorical image she chose as a prolife advocate (and an unfortunate decision,) but I also think her opinion is based on emotion not reason. And I do plan to upload more substantive content and discussions in the future, just tiding you lot over.
Thank you Norma, for making this video
