I'm in no way endorsing BeeFenses opinion, but this could also be do the the increasing awareness of safe sex. I would like to see the trend in birth control over the past 2 decades.
By safe sex I guess I primarily mean birth control (if that can even be considered safe sex)

possibly, but if safe sex is used to avoid having to rely on abortions that means abortions aren't exactly accepted

I am fairly certain that old Bee considers birth control as evil as abortion...I mean he would if he were a good catholic.
That being said you are correct...abortion rates have gone in parallel with birth control being more widely available to the general public...(there was some study I read recently stating just this thing...Ill search for it later.).

No, the real problem is nit wits like yourself not understanding what the real problem is. Single parent household average ~$17K/yr. Two parent households average ~$47K/yr.
¿Comprende?
Young black males growing up in fatherless households are vastly more likely to commit murder an/or be murdered than the general population. Considering the fatherless household rate amongst blacks is ~75%, it is a lethal epidemic. Not a joke. Not funny. Not cute.
¿Comprende?
Time to stop being stupid!

Now that it's Mardi Gras season, let's look no further than NOLA for a lesson on how morality changes.
Back in the 1830's when they were digging the canal from Lake Pontchartrain, it was considered far too dangerous a job to let valuable slaves do it so they had the Irish immigrants do it.
quote:
After about six years and many thousands of lives lost to yellow fever, malaria, cholera, occupational hazards, and exhaustion, the New Basin Canal was completed at a cost of $1,226,070. It served as a busy waterway for almost 100 years.
LINK
Now I'm sure back then out of wedlock pregnancies and abortions were considered "immoral" but apparently there was nothing immoral about sending the Irish to their deaths in ridiculously dangerous conditions or enslaving blacks.
So "morality" is ever changing.
ETA here's another link quote:
The construction company that in 1838 dug the New Basin Canal with wheelbarrows and shovels to connect the Central Business District and Lake Pontchartrain and to expand trade routes in the Gulf South deemed slaves too valuable to expose to the risk of malaria, cholera, and yellow fever. The company hired cheap Irish labor instead; at least six thousand, but perhaps many more, of those workers perished as a result.[4]
LINK
Don't know why but this always sits with me when I think of NOLA history and I have no Irish in my family. Pretty brutal.

Wouldn't do no good for Aunt Flo to visit her. Everyone would know that she was pregnant.

so where is the decay being seen?
fewer teen pregnancies
fewer abortions
fewer violent crimes
racism is all but dead
women are full citizens
individualism is rampant
information has never been more accessible
there is a proliferation of art, philosophy, etc
if we're morally bankrupt now, what kind of hell were were living in during the 80s and 90s?

Why?
1. We have men marrying men and women marrying women and find nothing wrong with it
2. Since Roe v. Wade was instituted, we have murdered over 50 million innocent babies
3. Two states have now legalized marijuana
4. We have taken God out of the schools, courtrooms, and other public places
Other than that our morals are great!!!
This is my favorite post of the whole thread.

Political correctness.
Incorporation of myth in science.

So tell oh wise one...what's your solution.
Adding god back to the classrooms...sending women back to the kitchen...smack our kids around with impunity...should we go down the road of racial segregation again...I mean those good old days were so good...
...as long as you were a white male.
seems to me more then anything else that's what you and zach are longing for.
amirite?
