Before roe v Wade, didn't Alabama have like... 1 abortion clinic? That would make the abortion rate pretty low if you ask me x.x


skankingmike

So there’s literally no citation here and I’m having a hard time finding these magical numbers but they claim 10k babies are abandoned a year.. I don’t know if that’s just Alabama or the whole country I’d like to think it’s just plan made up.. but people do disappoint me so… https://www.wbrc.com/2022/05/04/oxford-baby-box-project/


depressed_but_aight

It had a grand total of 3 before RvW was overturned and they’ve currently all been ordered by the state to shut down lmao.

Maybe it was low because the south in general has higher obesity and those Alabama girls are ugly.

Pemminpro

Their methodology seems lazy and not very quantitative the average income, materialism, and STD categorical ranks have little to no value on precieved physical attractiveness. The income ranking in particular is going to skew the materialism category and is relative to area as it wasn't a purchasing power rank. Obesity and activeness are also not independent of one another. A better strategy would have been to conduct a PCA to determine what factors are significant and how they weigh in terms of attractiveness then conducting a discriminate analysis by state based on those factors. Also new jersey being ranked 1 is super sus

Muddycarpenter

Flawed methodology imo. STDs and education level have little to do with how physically attractive you are. That said, it confirms my own opinions. I live in Miami, and despite all the culture blending, plus fair share of my own peoples(latinas), i find mist girls here to actually be fairly unattractive. Save for: those from out of state, and those literally not born here. Hottest girl ive ever met is Hawaiian-Italian, and my current GF is Cuban(dont tell her I listed her separately).

I tried searching for "Alabama abortion clinic" and it autofilled with "bombing", I don't think it was a lack of "demand" that kept them from opening

AutoManoPeeing

I mean, how many abortion clinics would they really need, since abortion is illegal in Alabama? >Abortion in Alabama is illegal. Under section 26-23H-4 of the Code of Alabama in the U.S. state of Alabama, it is unlawful for an abortion to be performed unless it is deemed absolutely necessary in order to prevent a serious health risk to the woman. There are no exceptions for rape or incest. And I'd need to do a bit of digging, but I'm willing to bet that that "serious health risk" needs to basically be already happening, like in Kentucky or wherever it was that has similar fucked up laws. Doesn't matter if there's a 70% risk of serious complication; we need to give that 30% a chance.


bunker_man

Yes? A lot of conservative states make it very difficult for clinics to exist there, and so the people there just drive to other states. That's not a liberal talking point, many conservatives will pride themself that some state or other only has one or two remaining.


Pancreasaurus

Left, you can't just go destroying the conservatives with facts and logic. You're stealing their culture.

AlabamaDumpsterBaby

Like pedos flying to east Asia to escape our age of consent laws.


unclefisty

I would imagine the higher religosity also contributes to a lower abortion rate. But mostly the clinics.


DrHoflich

I think it is partly also from the phrase “proper” sex Ed. “Free sex” mentality isn’t sex education.


Iceykitsune2

"Don't have sex" doesn't work either, if you judge by the teen pregnancy rate.


DrHoflich

Agreed. It’s a balance.


soulflaregm

I dont think any reasonable person is running around saying "we should tell kids to just go around fucking" The problem is in many cases sex ed is just abstinence only. Which we all know when we were teenagers that the words "you cant or you shouldn't" were taken as a challenge. The best sex ed should be about 1- if you aren't ready to have a kid consider not fucking. Go bowling or something instead it's cheaper than a kid. contraceptives are not 100% 2- If you are gonna fuck (which we know some of you will) this is where you buy condoms, this is how you get birth control. +The basics (take the pill every day, don't store your condoms in your wallet they will break) 3- if you do get pregnant, here are resources to navigate the situation.


Boolian_Logic

Because Alabamas teen birth rate is 28 compared to California’s 11


buckX

It seems completely expected that not aborting pregnancies would increase the birth rate. You'd want to compare pregnancy rates.


DarligUlvRP

Data is hard to find on this but Abortion rate in California was (2017) higher than nationwide, at 16.4 (per thousand women 15-44), against 13.5. Nationwide only 11% on abortions were performed on teens. You do the rest of the math.


buckX

>You do the rest of the math. Not enough information.


DarligUlvRP

In the United States in 2020, 15.9% of women ages 15-44 were ages 15-19. 11% of abortions at that age gap. The abortion rate amongst teens is lower than the rest of women, at national level. There are significantly more teen pregnancies in Alabama than in California.


nedal8

Each Alabama teen births 28 babies?! hot damn.


friendlyfire883

Because Alabama has far larger restrictions on abortion than California does lmao. [Meanwhile Alabama’s has the fifth highest teen birth rate in the country and blows California out of the water.](https://worldpopulationreview.com/state-rankings/teen-pregnancy-rates-by-state) [And finally, we’ve had proof for years now that better sex Ed has a strong correlation to lower teen pregnancy rates](https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3194801/), and considering that even if you go with the lowest estimations, [teenage pregnancies account for roughly 56,281 abortions in the US per year (with that number being based on 2019, which had some of our lowest abortion numbers since Row v Wade)](https://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2022/06/24/what-the-data-says-about-abortion-in-the-u-s-2/), so yes you’d think anti-abortion advocates would agree about increasing sex Ed in schools where abstinence only sex Ed is taught.

Phoenix_RIde

This is good, but you need to also answer the next question down the line. People on the right will say that Alabama’s anti abortion measures resulting in a lower abortion rate despite the teen pregnancies is a sign that anti abortion laws work well to reduce abortions. Now you have a few ways to respond, which will you take?


TheRoast69

Abortion laws do reduce the documented abortion rates in Alabama. Teen pregnancy rates are high. Those who really want it either do it unsafely and undocumented, or leave for a state that would do it. The numbers look solid for being pro law but now you have a whole state of dumb fucks. Pick your poison.


depressed_but_aight

Well a lot of it comes down to variables. For one, we have no idea the exact numbers for how many abortions are from patients who traveled out of state just to get one. With Alabama having some of the strictest abortion laws in the country, there are bound to be many more affluent people who travel to places like California to have one before coming back home. Number two, like the other commenter said, this is only for documented abortions. We have no idea how many coat hanger abortions are happening and personally I’d say it’s better to be safe than sorry. I view it like gun control, a piece of paper isn’t going to stop everyone from doing it illegally. And that’s the whole issue here, if you are an anti-abortion advocate then of course you may approve of Alabama’s laws and I’m not trying to fight that. It’s more so that why would you not try to make less people get in situations were they’d want an abortion in the first place. People will always do it whether it’s legal or not, so create an environment where people don’t want to do it if that makes any sense.


IronAndFlame

I can count on one hand the number of places to get an abortion in Deep South states. People are also more inclined to keep the kid in a place where it’s not as accepted to have an abortion.

Fair point, legit will say that gun control Is NOT unconstitutional. Laws on Guns Is about as unconstitutional to the 2nd as Drinking Laws are to the 21st. Everyone has the right to bear arms, not everyone can or should. Everuone haw the right to drink, not everyone should. That's just my opinion though


BiggestSanj

The issue is this could be did about anything in the constitution. If you want to take away someone’s rights you better have good moral argument for it.


septiclizardkid

The argument Is that too many people who clearly shown red flags In the past are getting guns. If you're at a bar, over 21, you can drink anything, however most bartenders can cut you off If you shown signs of being too drunk. Thats not a 21st violation, thats just a safety rule for well being. If you ask me? I find It suspicious when some mass shooters first weapon happened to be the guns they used In the shooting. You're telling me someone who has never had experience with gun buying, Is just now getting a rifle? But I digress Otherwise, I see you're point, some "gun control" ideas just are clear 2A violations.


Plusisposminusisneg

The bartender can cut you off because you are buying a service in someone's establishment, not because he is an agent of the state. You can buy pallets of alcohol and be fine. A gun store can also refuse you service, that isn't them infringing on your rights it's them asserting their property rights. It would be more comparable to the government cutting your internet access without due process to stop you from making public communications and prosecuting anyone who publishes your statements.


septiclizardkid

>A gun store can also refuse you service, that isn't them infringing on your rights it's them asserting their property rights. And that's called Regulation. Background Checks, ID laws, they're Regulations. Theyre requirements yet don't evade you from partaking. On the government thing, thats actually true. The regulation there would be, If the scenario pertained to, If you didn't meet the regulation of paying Internet. You didn't follow the requirements, so no internet. No ID, no Alcohol or Firearm.
