Legal Abortion Means Lower Crime Rates

[georgephillip]

Black males are far more likely to be incarcerated for the identical crime as white-skinned Americans which helps explain the absence of black fathers in the family home.

"PTSS posits that centuries of slavery in the United States, followed by systemic and structural racism and oppression, including lynching, Jim Crow laws, and unwarranted mass incarceration, have resulted in multigenerational maladaptive behaviors, which originated as survival strategies.

"The syndrome continues because children whose parents suffer from PTSS are often indoctrinated into the same behaviors, long after the behaviors have lost their contextual effectiveness.

"DeGruy states that PTSS is not a disorder that can simply be treated and remedied clinically but rather also requires profound social change in individuals, as well as in institutions that continue to reify inequality and injustice toward the descendants of enslaved Africans."

Which does nothing to explain blacks being incarcerated for crimes not committed by whites.
The legacy is in welfare and post-1960’s socialist agendas for blacks. Nothing to do with slavery or Jim Crow.

That's only true if Redlining and its effects on investment had nothing to do with slavery or Jim Crow:

The Racist Housing Policy That Made Your Neighborhood

"One of the most heinous of these (racist) policies was introduced by the creation of the Federal Housing Administration in 1934, and lasted until 1968. Otherwise celebrated for making homeownership accessible to white people by guaranteeing their loans, the FHA explicitly refused to back loans to black people or even other people who lived near black people.

"As TNC puts it, 'Redlining destroyed the possibility of investment wherever black people lived.'"

No. This shit goes on in middle class black neighborhoods, too. It’s not money, it’s not slavery, it’s not jim crow. It’s post-1960’s socialist bullshit and fatherlessness.

Black families were denied the chief wealth acquiring tool that white families used over generations to amass their net worth, i.e., federally insured mortgages. The "post-1960s socialist bullshit and fatherlessness" are symptoms of that official discrimination.

1934–1968: FHA Mortgage Insurance Requirements Utilize Redlining

"Through an overt practice of denying mortgages based upon race and ethnicity, the FHA played a significant role in the legalization and institutionalization of racism and segregation.

"The Underwriting Manual established the FHA’s mortgage lending requirements, ultimately institutionalizing racism and segregation within the housing industry. The following presents information about the national context of redlining and is not specific to Greater Boston."

Bullshit. More excuse-making.
Lots of white families had no such advantage.
Your complaint should be with wealthy vs not-wealthy, not black vs white.
As for segregation, it is alive and well and instigated by black racist groups and supported on all levels by the DNC.

Systematic Inequality - Center for American Progress

"American history is replete with horrific episodes that prevented the accumulation of black wealth for centuries: first slavery, then indentured servitude under Jim Crow, segregated housing and schooling, seizure of property and racial discrimination.

"The result was that in 1962, two years before the passage of landmark civil-rights legislation and the Great Society programme, the average wealth of white households was seven times greater than that of black households.

"Yet after decades of declining discrimination and the construction of a modern welfare state, that ratio remains the same.

"The mean of black household wealth is $138,200—for whites, that number is $933,700."

The black-white wealth gap is unchanged after half a century

Correlation is not cause. This is a super stupid thread.

As I pointed out in my OP, this claim is controversial:

The Impact of Legalized Abortion on Crime

"We offer evidence that legalized abortion has contributed significantly to recent crime reductions.

"Crime began to fall roughly 18 years after abortion legalization.

"The 5 states that allowed abortion in 1970 experienced declines earlier than the rest of the nation, which legalized in 1973 with Roe v. Wade. States with high abortion rates in the 1970s and 1980s experienced greater crime reductions in the 1990s.

"In high abortion states, only arrests of those born after abortion legalization fall relative to low abortion states.

"Legalized abortion appears to account for as much as 50 percent of the recent drop in crime."

Where's your evidence?

Whatever your local conditions may be, nationwide blacks have been victimized by economic policies that whites were exempt from:

Systematic Inequality - Center for American Progress

"Unfortunately, wealth in this country is unequally distributed by race—and particularly between white and black1 households.2 African American families have a fraction of the wealth of white families, leaving them more economically insecure and with far fewer opportunities for economic mobility.

"As this report documents, even after considering positive factors such as increased education levels, African Americans have less wealth than whites.

"Less wealth translates into fewer opportunities for upward mobility and is compounded by lower income levels and fewer chances to build wealth or pass accumulated wealth down to future generations.

"Several key factors exacerbate this vicious cycle of wealth inequality. Black households, for example, have far less access to tax-advantaged forms of savings, due in part to a long history of employment discrimination and other discriminatory practices.

"A well-documented history of mortgage market discrimination means that blacks are significantly less likely to be homeowners than whites,3 which means they have less access to the savings and tax benefits that come with owning a home.

"Persistent labor market discrimination and segregation also force blacks into fewer and less advantageous employment opportunities than their white counterparts.4

"Thus, African Americans have less access to stable jobs, good wages, and retirement benefits at work5— all key drivers by which American families gain access to savings.

"Moreover, under the current tax code, families with higher incomes receive increased tax incentives associated with both housing and retirement savings.6

"Because African Americans tend to have lower incomes, they inevitably receive fewer tax benefits—even if they are homeowners or have retirement savings accounts.

"The bottom line is that persistent housing and labor market discrimination and segregation worsen the damaging cycle of wealth inequality."

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke about in his famous 1963 'I Have a Dream' speech, whereby 'all men, yes, black men as well as white men, would be guaranteed the unalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness,'13 has not been fully realized."

Do you believe US black families were better off in 1963 than they are today?

Are you blind or do you not know how to read a fucking line graph? This shows a steady INCREASE in violent crime 15 years after Roe v. Wade was passed. It shows that something happened in the 90's that caused violent crime to decrease. The development of forensic science maybe?

Greater access to abortion may have reduced America’s crime rate

"May 24, 2019

"Crime rates in the U.S. have fallen by about half since the early 1990s.

"A new working paper from the National Bureau of Economic Research finds that legalized abortion following the Supreme Court’s landmark Roe v. Wade decision in 1973 accounts for 45% of the decline in crime rates over the past three decades.

"The paper’s authors, Stanford University economist John Donohue and University of Chicago economist Steve Levitt, take new data and run nearly the same model they used in their influential — and controversial — 2001 analysis published in the Quarterly Journal of Economics, where they first suggested an association between abortion and crime."

New research linking abortion and crime reduction resurfaces old debate

Is it reasonable to hypothesize fewer children born into an environment that puts them at a higher risk of committing crime will constitute a net gain for society?

It would seem logical to believe unwanted children or those whose parents are unable to support them are likelier to become criminals.

Critics of the theory argue the correlations between births and crime don't account for confounding factors like reduced drug use, demographic changes and population densities.

Maybe if we just execute repeat offenders the crime rate will go down even more.

Where's your evidence?

My evidence of what? I'm not the one claiming abortions cause a drop in crime. The claim is laughable and presumptuous to say the least.

Your evidence in support of your claim my OP is an example of correlation without causation. It's not a trick question, Aristotle.

Great. You have yet to make the connection between abortion and lower crime rates. You have two different phenomena and you have conflated the two without justification.
