There is a degree of truth to what you are saying. A lot to unpack about how that came to be, but yeah.
i will start by expressing my own opinion. I believe in life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness in that order. Life before liberty puts pro life ahead of my body my choice. If you are harming another for your liberties, then you have overstepped. So I am pro life.
I am willing to compromise slightly. Birth control is good. The morning after pill is okay. A chemical abortion within eight weeks is reasonable for those that got pregnant through rape or incest. Pregnancies where the fetus isn’t expected to make it should be allowed into second trimester. Any time the mother is at risk is acceptable.
Everything else (that I can think of) seems to be my liberty requires your life, and is truly horrific.Livin the dream

If I wrongly assumed that abortion has your support, I apologize. Your belief that there is a correlation was shared by Margaret Sanger. My belief is that we can’t know what might have been had the family structure continued to flourish. Maybe another MLK may have been born and lives saved instead of what has happened with BLM advocating for the disintegration of the western family structure in favor of a Communal/Socialistic family structure.

I'm open to 1st trimester abortion in most cases otherwise we are more or less on the same page. I believe every abortion represents a tremendous failure. I don't understand the cult of unlimited abortion any more than I understand extremists on any issue.

I believe that contraception/womens healthcare is not widely available to the degree it is in white communities. These communities are often uninsured. I believe that black women in poor communities sometimes find themselves pregnant by partners they feel unfit as fathers, for a variety of social and personal factors.

I am curious why you don’t think black folks have access to healthcare? There are billions spent on this. In Kansas anyone on Medicare gets free contraception of their choice. These clinics are literally built in the poorest communities.Livin the dream

White people outnumber black people between 4 and 6 to 1 depending on how you count Hispanics identifying as white. I'm not a statistician, but that would mean you are 2 or 3 times more likely to be killed by police if you are black, all things being equal.
In pre-WWII Germany the SA would often have brawls with the commies. Most Germans wanted order. Once the SA extinguished the outward Communist threat they were themselves extinguished in the "Night of the Long Knives" and brought under professional military control, the SS. Many average Germans were happy to not have street battles and millions of untrained thugs patrolling the streets.
TL;DR black people for a number of reasons, racist legacies being a significant factor, are more likely to have fatal encounters with police.
TL;DR the State of Oregon needs to call a general curfew in Portland and arrest everyone that violates it. Call in the National Guard if necessary. Everyone arrested gets their day in court, but they don't get their night in the street.
Black people ARE NOT being hunted down and murdered in the streets by police. Black people are being hunted down and murdered in the streets by black people. Your chances of getting struck by lightning are far greater than an unarmed black person getting killed by police.Last edited by shockfan89_; August 24, 2020, 12:07 PM.

Agree with your assertion of societal factors, inside of their community. Were you postulating factors outside of the ghetto?
Further, you neglected the component of welfare. That's an important factor in the context of your implication. No? Accidental, surely.
