akshually stupid and irresponsible ppl are more likely to get pregnant in the first place and then keep the baby because they underestimate the difficulty and overestimate themselves

I've seen a counterargument to the "abortion reduces crime" idea that says among black women, the ones who are more educated and in work are more likely to have abortions than their more feckless sisters, making abortion dysgenic for American blacks.

That's possible but probably outweighed by the overall b*ack-w*ite abortion gap

Abortion is horrible, but contraception is just as bad

Widespread post secondary education for middle/upper-middle class women is the worst, as it only lowers the fertility of higher-IQ women. All other measures at least have a potential upside. We’d be on our third Obama term but for abortion. America would be lost.
-
if it's widespread it's not affecting higher IQ women it's affecting average IQ women (maybe)
-
Not what I said. The POZ is affecting fertility via education, not via IQ. IQ, when controlled for education, does not seem to be depressing fertility. Take women out of college and grad school and it’ll be fine. http://anepigone.blogspot.com/2012/05/education-iq-and-fertility.html …

Educating women isn't the problem; the problem is fetishizng sexual freedom. People who use contraception cut away the natural process of reproduction. Having educated men and women increases our chances of survival as a race: more knowledge, more options to reproduce and propser

I don’t think we can be competitive with the Chinese in the short term if we don’t let talented women participate in science and the professions. I fear that barring CRISPR we can’t compete with them in the long run unless we restrict their presence in public life.

I agree. We have to submit to Nature and God: women hold our children. So we need to make sure they are taught this everyday when they are children. But I still think that they should be involved in STEM, more science makes everything better. We need to shoot for ideals here

Ultimately, we’re standing against time here. Our efforts will have to aim at near-term, practical, measures with an upgrade path; and long-term preparations for the potentially apocalyptic consequences of what will happen if/when the POZ finally wins.

White women like to talk big, but I think most end up having the kid and going the single motherhood route- still not great, but our problems are a lot bigger than legal abortion.

It's contextual benefits can be compensated by severe societal pressure to not have an abortion. The problem isn't so much that it's legal as much as it's less and less a thing that people feel ashamed of.
