[politics] why I support Roe v. Wade

[juldea]

This hits me hard.


When you're done with that and are feeling really weighed down with serious thoughts, try this instead:

Bush was asked how he felt about Roe Vs. Wade.
He smirked and said "I don't care how the poor black people choose to get out of New Orleans."

If you haven't read Freakonomics, you should. There is a huge chapter dedicated to the benefits of abortion. About 20 years after Roe v. Wade, crime plunged dramatically. I mean, seriously, dramatically. People naturally exposed to crime weren't being born anymore, and there was less stress on welfare, and all this other stuff. Anyway, the book offers the economical perspective on things, and its perspective on abortion is pretty fascinating. It also talks about sumo wrestling, parenting, and crack gangs. It's pretty cool.

That does sound really interesting. I'll give it a check out - thanks.
