Not only is [[abortion]] an expensive form of birth control (especially compared to [[abstinence]]), but it also leads people to devalue human life. Why bother to work for success if your life isn't worth anything anyway?

The fact that liberals are beholden to teachers unions makes it impossible for schools to get rid of substandard teachers. An exceptional teacher in an under-served area may have the opportunity to transfer from that area into a better one, while a poor teacher is able to muddle through year after year without doing their students any good. This slavish dedication to corrupt union hiring policies clearly has a negative effect on urban Black populations which limits their later earnings. This is one reason why voucher programs have been incredibly popular in Washington DC, a city with a major Black population.
