LOTB Might Have Been Right About Abortion

I've expressed doubts as to the eugenic effect of abortion but I found an old post by LOTB referencing a study suggesting that, yes, abortion is eugenic after all.

Female Privilege and Suffrage

Here's  a politician named JB Sanford arguing against women's suffrage in 1911: "Suffrage is not a right. It is a privilege that may or may not be granted. Politics is no place for a women consequently the privilege should not be granted to her. ...The men are able to run the government and take care of the women. Do women have to vote in order to receive the protection of man? Why, men have gone to war, endured every privation and death itself in defense of woman. To man, woman is the dearest creature on earth, and there is no extreme to which he would not go for his mother or sister.  By keeping woman in her exalted position man can be induced to do more for her than he could by having her mix up in affairs that will cause him to lose respect and regard for her. Woman does not have to vote to secure her rights. Man will go to any extreme to protect and elevate her now. As long as woman is woman and keeps her place she will get more protection and more consideration t...

Response to Lion of the Blogosphere on Abortion

Lion of Blogosphere shares this comment on abortion: in his latest post: No one that I personally know has ever gotten an abortion. My main objection to pro-lifers is that they create a burden on taxpayers. This is my main reason for supporting abortion. My family pays way too much in taxes as it is. It’s unfair to my mother, who has worked so hard to create wealth, and to support myself and my chronically ill father, to have to pay for the Section 8 and food stamps for low IQ people’s children. As for myself personally, I don’t have any reason to ever get an abortion. I’m getting married soon to the only partner I have ever had, whom I started dating in high school. I just want other women to get abortions, because i don’t want my future kids to have to share a classroom with low IQ violent bastard kids. LOTB seems to approve of this quote and agree with its underlying logic.... but is it accurate? Does abortion have a eugenic effect? Personally, I don't really ca...

Workplace Fatalities and Male Expendibility

I just learned that there was an astonishing 7.3% increase in US workplace fatalities from 2015-2016. Granted, there was some media coverage of it that I found by googling it and looking down, but I was a fairly avid follower of trends and what not at the time and I don't recall seeing anything about this at the time. I mean, it seems to me that nobody who wasn't looking for data on workplace fatalities would even be aware of the rather substantial spike from 2015-2016. Why? Well, I'd venture that it is somewhat related to the fact that 92% of the workplace fatalities in 2016 were males. If, this were an issue that impacted primarily women, I don't think I'm going too far in saying there would be a lot more outrage and coverage of it. Indeed, I imagine that Facebook feeds around the country would be inundated with content centering on this topic. But this differential treatment isn't all that surprising. Men, after all, are more  biologically expendable  in t...
