And here we go again (School shooting)

Foote and Goetz destroyed Donohue and Levitt's theory in 2008. There is no meaningful statistical connection between crime and abortion. Here's the link to the paper: https://www.bostonfed.org/-/media/Documents/Workingpapers/PDF/wp0515.pdf

A beating heart is a child, not a choice.

I understand why people are against abortions, but what I don't understand is why those same people won't help support those beating hearts once they are outside of the womb with a stronger social safety net. Again, hypocritical.

The social safety net is too large already. We teach generations to be dependent. Work requirements for the able bodied is a good starting point. Wanted people to work twice as hard so people not willing to work will have more stuff is hypocritical.
 
Irrelevant. The study was flawed.

It's easy to regurgitate this old and tired liberal talking point, but what evidence do you have to support it? None, I'm guessing.

I just reread Mark Twain's quote. Thanks for the reminder.

This is a thread about school shootings. I don't think Roe v Wade in any way caused them. Have a good night.

If it is, then why did you post this?
I strongly disagree with almost everything you said ... but ... I had to comment on #1. Abortions are a root cause of mass school shootings? Not only is that absurd but abortions have reduced #5 on your list and has been linked to falling crime rates over the last half-century.
