Why Abortion may have destroyed the US Economy

[Kelinfort]

If you're going to bring Nazis into it, you should mention that we are anti-abortion. Abortion is a Jewish ploy to destroy the German race.

Oh, my God... fuck off.

Hello, my name is Chad, the traveling sarcasm detector salesperson, and I regret to inform you that your detector is broken.

I don't think he was serious.

[Edlichbury]

I don't give a shit. That has nothing to do with the fact they aren't babies. Call them what they actually are: fetuses.

but how can someone cry that healthcare is a right to all humans and abort a baby?

Because a fetus is not a human.

That is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Perhaps you mean not a person? That would make much more sense.

Tell me by what scientific standard a fetus is equivalent. Is an acorn equivalent to a tree?

No an acorn is not a tree. When I say that it makes sense, when I say an acorn is not an oak, then I am saying something unfathomably inane.

And again, this is on what scientific basis?

[Hebalobia]

No, I don't think so.

First of all the US economy is alive and well if sluggish. The actual problems are as follows:

1) world wide productive capacity far exceeds current demand. The emphasis on production efficiency to improve profitability has produced, in general, a glut of potential product with no potential buyers. Obviously there are exceptions but this is the general case. Why should businesses expand and add more workers when then can't sell everything they can produce now?

(2) The problem is not so much retiring workers as workers who can't retire and are not making way for new graduates entering the work force. This is a problem in almost every western country. By far the highest unemployment rate is of young people.

(3) As for Social Security, back in the early 80s, when the federal government actually tried to accomplish things rather than just play politics,Congress "fixed" Social Security. They only made one mistake. They assumed that the same percentage of income would be subject to Social Security taxes in the future as was in the past, about 21% I believe. However, the income inequality that has occurred since then has caused the percentage of income subject to SS taxes to drop to about 19%. The solution, raise the SS limit to get back to 21%, is mathematically simple but politically hard.

[Dread Lady Nathicana]

The argument is also a gross oversimplification as it suggests abortions prevented viable functioning tax paying adults.

Usually, the people are aborted are children of the poor, the criminally-prone, the unfit parents. And thank god for this, too. If every pregnancy that ever occurred in every ghetto led to a birth, then we'd be a dealing with a serious crime problem and feel the strain on our resources.

Troll elsewhere. We're just about done with you doing it here. *** 7 day ban *** on account. You are on your last legs.

It's a developing human. You don't call a house under construction a "house", so I don't see the point here.

Hallelujah!
LibCal was extremely frustrating, but I have the feeling he actually believes what you called trolling.
Either way, I'm glad I won't see him for a week.

Don't gloat. That's actionable, too.

Where did I ever say I wanted to kill people?

How is environmentalism edgy?

Contradiction in terms.

As for the OP, a vastly oversimplified argument that ignores the fact that the world's population is increasing. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_growth

New Holy Germania is one of the first wave of newcomers itching to bring his special version of fascism to the masses. Summertime in NationStates General isn't pretty at all. Unfortunately we can't just remove him and others like him from the internet permanently and be done with it.

From the internet? No. He did earn himself three days off. Let's not give him more attention than he's already had by discussing his shortcomings, shall we?

Can do, sergeant. Can do.

That's better. NOW DROP AND GIVE ME 20!

[Terra Sector Union]

My main reason against abortion is that it will kill our manpower in the long term. I am sick of these methods of depopulating Mankind.

Why do these progressives support legalization of drugs? Freedom to live your own lifestyle? Maybe, but drugs weaken people. I have proof that drugs cause death.

Anyone who even tries to deny this is simply trying to defend their drug addiction.
The same applies to the already legal and socially acceptable tobacco and alcohol usage.

Euthanasia? Kill off your old folks. People that actually don't deserve to die unlike criminals (Progressives oppose Death penalty). How is getting euthanised by suicide pills faster than an inmate getting executed by lethal injection? It doesn't make sense.

As mentioned before, Abortion denies the human right to exist. A method to depopulate the Earth.

Homosexuals either donate their sperm or reproduce with the opposite sex. A 100% homosexual lifestyle could lower the population. Almost everything the Progressives are for is a plan to kill off Humanity.

You might want to actually do research on the death penalty. It's a long and tedious process, and for a reason.

Quote anyone supporting a 100% homosexual population. Go ahead. I'll wait.

[Chestaan]

This reminds me of the point that Stephen Levitt made in Freakonomics. Basically he claimed that the crime rate had reduced because of abortion. He didn't make that point based on anything ideological, he just observed the numbers and that was his conclusion.

Oh, please. Are you blind to the truth? The world population is still growing, kid.

[Llamalandia]

I don't see abortions causing this.

If you want an explanation, look at birth control instead. Around that time, the pill as reliable birth control for women was introduced.

Yeah, this largely covers it. Could abortion have made a small dent? Sure. Did it contribute anywhere near the level of what contraception did? of course not. Plus there's a myriad of other factors at work here as well.

Wow, seriously lol. You don't like what others have to say so the solution is to silence them all? I don't think that really falls in the category of "good ideas". I mean, sure I may not entirely agree with him or you for that matter doesn't mean i want to see you erased from the internet though.

Clearly this is all part of the evil homosexual conspiracy to destroy humanity.

Cause pigeon hole logic.
