another argument that see repeatedly ignored is the factual, statistical impact of roe v. wade:
in the 90’s, crime was at an all-time high. every day, people were being shot on the streets, mugged, carjacked, everything. nobody knew what to do. the government was at a loss. every projection stated that 1995 would be the worst year yet.
then, suddenly, instead of crime going up, it went down. every projection was wrong. statisticians and economists assumed that it was because the economy was booming and gun control laws were finally taking effect. but they were all wrong.
the fact is that roe v. wade passed in 1973, legalizing abortion. 1995 was 22 years later, enough time for an entire generation to be born. but instead of children born to parents who could not care for them and ending up on the streets and in the foster system, these children were never born in the first place. they never had the opportunity to commit crime. legalizing abortion had a direct and positive impact on the united states. but you won’t hear pro-lifers telling you this, will you?
(obviously i am not saying that every child born to poor parents is at a loss from birth. that is not the case. but the fact is that children born to parents who are unwilling to care for them or who end up in the foster system are more likely to be neglected and fall into the wrong crowd and end up on the streets, doing both petty and violent crimes)
