[QUOTE="Old Man Jingles, post: 4602524, member: 18222"] WINNER! I fully support the right of every USA citizen female to have an abortion. The way I look at it is 98 out of every 100 abortions eliminates 98% of potential future DemWit LibTurds. That's why I fully support abortions for the lower classes, who commit the vast majority of violent crimes in the USA. [URL='https://freakonomics.com/podcast/abortion/'][B]Abortion and Crime[/B][/URL] The controversial theory linking [I]Roe v. Wade[/I] to a massive crime drop is back in the spotlight as several states introduce abortion restrictions. Democrats support and encourage the abortion of Black babies.

Then there were the factors he found did contribute: the increase in the number of police; an increase in the number of criminals imprisoned; and the decline of the crack-cocaine trade, which had been unusually violent.
