Good point, @xxxBakeneckoxxx!

Yes, and all mothers that don't want a child should kill theirs, we don't want their fucking kind to continue in the gene pool. If they had children, that would just create more low IQ people that don't want children. There is no god(s), we need to do this.

@12dollarsand78cents Wait, that's what abortion does. Please kill your offspring, we don't want your little criminals running around in the future, making more fucking criminals.

[12dollarsand78cents]

Same logic; we should kill all people that don't want children?

I strongly disagree with Levitt when he says that he is not calling for abortion as a crime fighting tool. The right not to be an unwanted child are far more important than womens rights or the pre-born.

Every child should be a wanted child, and every mother a willing mother.

i'm not against people having the choice to do what they want. I'm against the idea that its okay for somebody to go out, have sex, knowing that it could lead to a pregnancy and either not taking the proper precautions or not caring enough to do so, getting pregnant because of it, and then aborting the child because its inconvenient for them. If you're having sex, you should accept the possibility of getting pregnant and take necessary steps to not get pregnant, or not have sex. your choice

Advocating? Facts do not advocate. Facts illuminate. Facts inform you so that your choices can be based on knowledge rather than dumb intuition. They expose things as they are, which is often starkly contrasted against what your intuition tells you might be. Intuition is dangerous. It evolved to be just good enough to let small groups of people survive on the savannah. It has no place in a society with large groups of people and technology.

Simple common sense logic. I NEVER heard anyone who was screaming about how abortion is wrong offering to take care of the kids who would be born "unwanted" , or to parents without the means to care for them. In 20 years they'd be screaming for mandatory sterilization just like during the very popular eugenics movement of the 1930s... thousands of adults (and children) were sterilized against their will by something like 25 states, and also around the world. Hitler used it as his model.lookitup!
