Did Roe v Wade actually prove that Pro Choicers DO CARE about human lives?


yeah I know, it sounds contradictory. but allow me to present my reasoning for this ide
I am the rare breed of a Christian who is Pro Choice. well, in keeping with this opinion of mine (and my Church!) I recently rebutted a claim by the incarcerated Dadman. He claimed that Roe v Wade showed how little humans care about human life. I retorted with the following, and I think it came out so good that I wanted to give it its very own debate. here is what I wrote to Cadman...

"actually an excellent argument could be made that said Roe v Wade actually showed how much Pro Choice humans DO care about life. as in..the lives of the mothers who were without means and wherewithal to raise the aborted kids, had they been allowed to live. many of these kids and their mothers would have experienced lives of poverty, addiction, pain and suffering.

also, did you know the crime rate went down significantly in most major USA cities some 18-22 years AFTER the passing of Roe v Wade? what do you think this happened?

because that was the time when those aborted kids, most of them inner city kids who would have turned to crime, would have come of age to, well, commit those crimes. not many people know this. and it DOES sound racist, but it is true. I invite you to research it yourself. though you dont strike me as a research sort of guy. as I reckon you don't like to let the facts get in the way of your opinions.

so....the lives of those whom would have been the victims of the crimes were also spared!!

gee! seems to me I just gave a great argument why Roe v Wade improved lives and showed compassion! 1--the kids who would have been raised in poverty. 2--their mothers, and 3--the crime victims some 20 years later.

so...can you refute that? or are you gonna throw a couple bible verses at us?"


So..that is my opinion on this as set forth in the post. Now I want to hear from you. Trolls and personal at

People on both sides of this issue care about human lives, the questions are quality vs quantity of lives as well as mother/family lives vs the potentially to be born lives.

Exactly my point sir!

I can't help but notice that your posts are usually the most objective and balanced. Your like O'Reilly and his No Spin zone.

You just said the people on both sides of this issue care about human lives? LOL, DO ALL YOU PRO CHOICE PEOPLE LIVE IN LALA LAND WITH WHAT YOU SUPPORT? How can you possibly pretend to be so totally ignorant to what you are supporting.

There is one side that cares about the right of life of both the mother and the Baby. Pro life people allow life of mother exceptions to SAVE THE MOTHER'S LIFE!

Prolife people fight for the right of all the innocent babies killed purely for birth control the vast majority of the time.

There is only one side with the humanity of caring for human lives.

Live in your deceptive dream world.

here is one article that tells of the drop in crime after Roe v Wade, and also hints that many respected Economists also agree that Abortion lowers crime, thereby saving lives and also preventing suffering from crime victims!!!

I would call this showing that us Pro Choicers DO care about lives! Lives of real, living, viable people!!

No. Court cases don't prove that people care about humans. Court cases only show that we care about laws. Neither side shows they care about human lives by supporting/opposing Row v Wade. Anyone who is fixated on making a general case that has to fit absolutely everyone must necessarily not care about some human lives.

Why does it make you so angry that people have different opinions?
