Armed Citizen Saves Woman’s Life by Shooting Alleged Carjacker

No I'm not...

Sesh said abortion keeps children off of the street...

Well, not in the Public Service Announcement way that you're deliberately misrepresenting it to be. But, have fun as you wish...

[Romeo Delight]

Come on Elvis. That is harsh, and over the line. You don't talk about someone's kids like that.

Do you have kids?

I am going to have to agree here. Cmon E.

[binnie]

I believe in free speech and pointing out bullshit when I see it...

And Biblical truth, which is far from fiction...

I think Sesh was pointing out the specious conclusions drawn from correlations between two factors. Abortions DO keep kids off the street (thus reducing crime), but can hardly be said to be the reason that violent crime has dropped. He was being facetious, I think.

[ELVIS]

He was being facetious, I think.

He was being a dick, as usual...

But I'm done...

Shouldn't;t religion at its core include doing unto others and all that. So shouldn't you be without prejudice showing Sesh the common decency of not making comments like that

It kind of makes all of your religious arguments null and void when common decency and looking out for your fellow man is thrown out the window

You are taking what he said out of context. That's what you bible thumpers do. That's the only way you can justify all the ignorance you believe in. It's like your own interpretation of your fairy tales.

Science Fiction?

[VetteLS5]

It's like your own interpretation of your fairy tales.

If you say it over and over again, especially if you start the mantra as early as possible in life, then eventually to the naive it becomes their truth.

For Elvis, I think he had a "wooooosh" moment.

It's more likely to be increased abortions keeping kids off the streets. The former can be proved with statistics........

Let's look at that statement.

Blacks get more abortions per 1000 women than any other demographic. 40 per 1000 versus 12 per 1000 for white women, almost four times as many.

Blacks are about 13 percent of the population and continue to be responsible for an inordinate amount of crime. Between 1976 and 2005 blacks com*mitted more than half of all murders in the United States. The black arrest rate for most offenses — including robbery, aggravated assault and property crimes — is still typically two to three times their representation in the population.

Blacks as a group are also overrepresented among persons arrested for so-called white-collar crimes such as counterfeiting, fraud and embezzlement. (I threw that in there mainly for Ford.)

So either we should be thankful for the abortions, That without them the problem would only be worse................ OR that statement is utter bullshit, take your pick.

So, spaying and neutering at birth, would do wonders for the crime rate?




Joke! It was a fucking Joke!

I think I've found the source of the problem: the bible isn't big on laughter.

The argument is that legalized abortion reduces the unwanted children who then are more likely to commit crimes in the future.

Steven Levitt of the University of Chicago and John Donohue of Yale University revived discussion of this claim with their 2001 paper "The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime".

There has been some debate about it since.
