What the hell are you going to do with 1 Million babies born to absolutely poor, uninteligent, often crime or drug afflicted single parents? And another million undocumented anchor babies? Our current demographics, student teacher ratio, and crime statistics would be wrecked with a cumulative 30 million more people from a single socioeconomic class.

Real talk, who is going to foot the bill on not only maternity care and labor, but welfare, education, and a multitude of other expenses of children born to parents who don't even want them?

End welfare, revive Mandatory Conscription, send them to Space to actually progress humanity by forming Lunar and Mars colonies before the Chinese do.....Killing humans in never a solution. This is a lefty talking point.

Conscription has many forms. The Civilian Conservation Corps built roads and bridges. Public services. Make them build rockets. Drafted public service does not at all just mean slapping a gun in their hands and sending them to die.

Drafted public service

Because the government is so honest and can never be corrupted to use people for devious things...

Intelligence is genetic. The kids that are produced are going to be barely able to do manual labor, let alone go to space. You religious nuts really like to ignore genetics; people are not interchangeable cogs, and "culture" is the not the primary driver of success.

  • Intelligence is partly genetic.

There, fixed that for you.

Stefan Molyneux has repeatedly said that IQ is about 80% genetic from the early teens

Mostly*, fixed that for you. Like, between 60 and 90% based on twin studies alone. In addition, Harvard has developed a genetic test that is predictive of IQ, albeit a bit weak currently. As we gain more understanding of what other genes play a role in neural development, that test will become much stronger. I'd also like to point out measurable differences in brain architecture that exist between groups of people, including between racial and ethnic groups. For example, Africans have fewer convolutions in their cortex, which indicates less processing power.

Sure, intelligence is genetic. but the type of intelligence measured by IQ is not predictive of success in society. Those who study and work hard will progress humanity more than those born to high IQ parents who don't. So in a sense, "culture" is the primary driver of success. Not sure where this idea that people's impact on society are decided by their DNA comes from. This goes against the conservative tenet of self-efficacy-- that you can better yourself and your situation with hard work.

That's not true at all... IQ is actually the biggest predictor of success, across all measures, though it's technically a correlation as causal links are hard to prove in this area. There are plenty of studies showing this to varying degrees, but if you're a Jordan Peterson fan, here is one of the lectures from one of his university classes on the subject https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=jSo5v5t4OQM.

Newt tried to talk about that, back during his Republican Revolution. He made a comment about orphanages for the children born because of no abortion, and the left attacked him like he was proposing labor factories for children, like in Oliver Twist.

Libs will not listen to anything that helps avoid the need for abortion. Hell, they won't even tell young women who have babies to find love because of abusive parents to not become a single parent at 17. That would require morals, and we know how few libs have.

The solution is a moral society. We're the furthest away from that in the entire history of the USA, and now that it's post-America, we'll go even further adrift.

I ALWAYS agreed with Newt on that but no one has the guts to do what's necessary

EIther as a state create a true safety net for unwanted children or create an adoption system where prospective adopters pay for maternity care, labor, etc

Instead we have rich white, unfertile parents spending 100-500k on ivf...sickening

I don't disagree either. I have some personal knowledge of this, and the problems are even worse after a child is taken into custody by the state, away from unfit parents and women who give their children up at birth. I know a couple who couldn't have kids - she was unable. So they looked into adoption. They spent years applying and being rejected, even though they were a perfect couple - liberal, he made enough she didn't have to work, very educated, intelligent, healthy, nice home, etc. Even as liberals, they're both really nice, pleasant people. But they were told don't even THINK about a white baby, and they were turned down even for crack babies. They had to leave the country and bribe a South American government to get a little baby girl who was orphaned. The left has the foster/adoption industry on lockdown. Kids spend their entire lives in foster care (and are horrifically abused), with no hope of adoption. It's beyond broken, and insane. And yes, I think child trafficking is involved. I'd bet quite a few blonde babies have ended up in the Middle East, locked away in harems. Even when famous people with millions to spend have to go overseas to adopt their virtue signalling children, you know there's a problem. And, as usual, it's liberals with their fucked up brains.

It's no different than choosing puppy breeders over adoption. People want their own children. Not ideal but I understand why. It's their money.

How about sterilization programs for those that ask for abortions? I could use your same argument.

If abortions weren’t free for the welfare class, they be rare. Just defund.

randomusers239874 3 points ago +3 / -0

They aren't "free", they're mostly paid for by private donations. Federal money doesn't really touch that part of the business, despite the propaganda that it does. And, they do make the women pay a nominal fee (like 50 to 200 dollars) for the procedure as well.

You're not getting it. You're carefully rationalizing to us why you're cool with with murder because it has practical value.

I live in a majority black welfare city. The women who have had 5 abortions STILL have 6 kids.
