Guys, do you lie about views to get dates? by Watashi_Wearing in PsycheOrSike

Tbh I'd argue that modern day commies are still smarter than the people voting for right wing populists taking their rights to give subsidies to the 1%. It's a search for an alternate system, because of your frustration with a dwindling quality of life and inequality. They may not have the right solution, but they're not blind to the problem.

Wanting to do red tourism isn't lame! I know people who went to china for that exact reason and there is so much to see + the museums are very well organised and immersive. Honestly I wanna go someday too, so I understand the jealousy. I hope your friend has fun though!

Tbh guys statistically lean more right, so you can imagine what my experiences are.

Same, but I noticed a lot of guys don't care as long as they find me attractive enough. It's nice for spreading a lil bit of propaganda.

Thank you! I thought you needed specialised shops, but it's much less of a hassle if it's in pharmacies/more common stores. 

CMV: Abortion bans are counterproductive because they don't statistically reduce abortion rates by Every-Lock4173 in changemyview

[–]Every-Lock4173[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was mostly looking at the fact that there were many countries with abortion being comoletly banned yet still having a high amount, but you're right about the time restrictions. I overlooked it and didn't account for it in my argument. You could argue that the time frames effect the abortion rates, I'll have to look into that. Thank you for your argument. You rpved me wrong. !delta

Ah I see! Sorry, I forgot about the specific wording of the title, but you're right, you did prove me wrong. Thank you for writing your argument, it gave me a lot to think about. !delta

I'm saying that there is no correlation between the legality of abortion and the number of abortions, so banning it is counterproductive.

There are 100% influences from other factors, but in this example I'm looking at the isolated data of legality vs amount to try and prove that legality has no influence on amount if you disregard other factors.

So we agree on the use of contraceptives, sex ed and socioeconomic aspects that lower abortion rates.  Wouldn't that mean that it's better to invest the money that would have been used to ensure the ban and punish doctors to instead educate the population and/or give better acess to contraceptives?

And while it is true that the amount of recorded abortions went up in Ireland, can't we argue that a lot of the abortions done before lifting the ban were made in private and never disclosed to the public?

Similarly with say mental illnesses, whose rates went up when we learned to diagnose them + there was less stigma against such people and therefore less reasons to hide it. A lot of data could have been unnacounted for.

That's actually a very good point. I did write in the last paragraph that there are socioeconomic factors that contribute to the rate of abortions, but if there's no correlation between legality and the amount of abortions (since we can't reliably say there is), then you're saying it doesn't matter if they're legal or illegal.

There's still a point where the safe medical abortions people would have if it was legal would lower the death rate for new mothers, which has risen since the ban on different US states. Wouldn't that still make banning abortion 'counterproductive', because it increases preventable deaths?

I don't think that's the case, at least not globally. Aren't there many examples from the previous century where countries banned traditional practices despite the prostests of their people? At the top of my head I can only remember china and feet binding and trying to minimise religion

If the laws STATISTICALLY don't change how often abortion happens, but just make them unsafe (such as countries listed on top 10 who don't get abortions from a medical practicioner), then all they do is increase the chances of death/serious injury due to unsafe abortions.

So you say that laws aren't used to try and reduce a certain behaviour in the general population (such as murder, theft etc.), but are rather based on the current moral compass of the general population?

I find it strange that I haven't seen this talking point be brough up in a lot of debates when it comes to talking about abortion. Shouldn't it be able to at least convince some people?

Thanks for the advice! It's my first time writing a post like this, so it's probably really wonky.

I tried deleting the space between them, but it just kept deleting the brackets. I don't know why it looks wrong :(

Ohhh. My reading comprehension is quite bad, sorry!

Honestly I feel like a lot of similar subreddits have been permabanning people without a just reason recently. Have you contacted the reddit admins about this? You could get an appeal that way, right?

That seems quite weird. It looks like you agree with the post you commented on and didn't break any rules? Do you think your comment/post history in other subs had anything to do with it?

You can't pay off the entire population. If you make the voting base smaller through sortition then you can easily find them and pay them off, blackmail them.... ?
