So, you stuck your foot in it and only noticed the stink when someone called you on it. Then you run. Wow.
So, what EXACTLY does this comment mean:
And show me the data by race and zip code. THEN I will pay attention.
Yeah, you just keep telling yourself that, Emily.
LOOK - learn to follow a thought.
It is not about running.
How about just inferring, readily, logically, my POINT.
MY POINT is about WHO is doing this, and how the data do NOT necessarily support the conclusion that it is the hook up culture on CAMPUSES that drives the abortion numbers.
Abortions, like firearm homicides, tend to coincide with college-age males and females. BOTH are CRIMES. Get it yet?
Learn logic.
You do realize that this isn't Stormfront don't you?
You are CLEARLY on the wrong forum.
I read your post and I understood it. You would now like to qualify what you said. That doesn’t reflect on my intelligence but on your being able to clearly relate an idea or point.
It sounds similar to “I keep jumping off the roof and breaking my leg but I’ll keep trying.” Bonehead, isn’t she.
OK. I will make it obvious to you.
You.
Did.
Not.
Derive.
A.
Valid.
Conclusion.
Now go pick on someone who believes AoD is OK.
Girls give away their real power too easy today
But lord white boys look so soft now it’s no wonder women are the dominant
Then why bring up race and zip codes?
Now when you were called on it you object. Keep digging that hole. I'll watch.
To help deflect you from the illogical and strident posts back AT you, note well the Atlantic is far from being “storm front”.

Millions of babies were destroyed prior to the sinkmaster also. Part of reaching the feminist Nirvana of Sex Without Consequences.
Well, even “conservative Christians” tend to like sex with no consequences, so most everyone is loathe to even think there might be anything wrong with it.
It’s the same “hole” real data reside in.
Do FACTS scare you? They are readily available from credible sources and our own gummint.
look here as just one readily available source: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/09/abortions-racial-gap/380251/
There ARE many more sources. I encourage you to peruse the data, and then we can debate, presuming that is possible with you.
Understand this.
1. Abortion on demand is to me a crime and a sin.
2. my comment was all about reaching a bad conclusion in the real data.
Go try to be constructive this week.
You're taking heat for this, but it is a valid comment. This is a result of LBJ's Great Society welfare programs, which has incentivized both this behavior and the destruction of the black family. Take out back abortions and the picture is much different.
More significant—I wonder about the data; where did it come from? The article doesn’t say. And I doubt that those numbers are correct in the modern world.
Maybe if you count use of Plan B pills as abortions you might get the numbers there but not every Plan B pill actually terminates a pregnancy.
In the modern world, the hook up culture really doesn’t result in pregnancy in the upper classes. And I agree, it isn’t just college student women participating or getting pregnant.
In the downtown sophisticated office world, hook ups are routine everywhere; across marriage lines and in every other setting. Downtown athletic clubs have two and three hour hotel rooms available from 11:00 to 3:00 in the afternoon; same for downtown hotels in the major cities.
I don’t see this as an abortion issue—I see it as a cultural issue about man-woman relationships and the deterioration of the family structure in our society.
Our country tired of the moral restraints Christianity taught throughout the 20th Century. But after WW II, a war weary nation, was looking for a little R&R and began ever increasingly to rail at the Bible thumpers. TV and pop culture were perfect venues for this ridicule. Groucho Marx stated that to get ahead in the TV business you should break as many of the 10 Commandments as possible during a show. Sure some of the criticism was justified, but not all, and look where it has taken us.
What institutions in America today have as one of their goals the teaching of character, morality, integrity, etc. in a young person? It used to be American churches, schools and, most importantly, families. It’s not just a lost understanding of romance and real love that has been lost - as important as that is. The toll of living with your sin is a consequence not even factored into these decisions. The loss of innocence and purity - because, well, sin doesn’t exist anymore in the minds of most. But they still have a conscience and it gnaws at them for awhile - but even that can be deadened after a point. When you leave God’s standards behind, there’s a price to be paid. Jesus did not condemn the woman caught in adultery - but he did tell her, “Go and sin no more.”
There’s forgiveness and the power to live a life pleasing to God but you have to come His way. Americans find little interest in that offer of salvation, and sadly in an effort to not offend, churches have watered down the truth along with the rest of the culture. America will not have a happy ending and neither Donald Trump nor Ted Cruz (or any politician) will not save us from ourselves. The destructive influence is in each of us. We’re in rebellion with our Creator. These young girls (and guys) are just one of the more visible reminders of how far we have fallen.
You have a nice day.
