curious...

earlier sarah posted about some woman having her 18th kid and how she thinks the world is overpopulated. Who here has read Freakonomics? They did a study that showed abortion reduced crime because it reduced the number of unwanted kids who grow up to be criminals.

Here is the question:

Today the magic powers of tumblr makes you the supreme commander of whatever country you currently reside. 

Would the pragmatic nature of legalized abortion be enough for you to support a woman’s right to an abortion? And since this is a discussion about CRIME, if you do not believe such a pragmatic solution is morally justified in your realm of good and evil, HOW would you go about reducing crime?

It’s Friday, what else are you doing besides reading Tumblr? Go.
