Abortion as a cause of violence in America / myLot

Chicago, Illinois

There has been quite a bit of violence in America recently. There have been three mass shootings recently. In Chicago more than 50 were shot this past weekend. (I'm not sure how many died.) I'm not saying it's the only contributing factor but legalized abortion is one factor in the violence. How could it not be? Abortion tells us that people are disposable. If they are in our way, they can be gotten rid of. Again, abortion is not the only cause but it is one of them.

I don't know if there is an exact relation between abortion and mass killings, but abortion certainly shows a lack of value for human life, so it may indirectly influence one's value of all life. Good post.

Thank you. That's pretty much all of the connection I was implying.

I don't think you can draw a numeric relationship between the two but, as you mention, it influences our view of the value of human life.
