A statewide concern: Illinois’ population decline outpaces neighboring states – Wirepoints on ABC20 Champaign
“We are not in good shape” Wirepoints’ Ted Dabrowski told ABC 20 Champaign during a segment on Illinois’ latest population losses. Illinois was one of just three states to shrink in the 2010-2020 period and has lost another 300,000 people since then. Ted says things need to change. “It’s too expensive to live here, there aren’t enough good jobs and nobody trusts the government anymore. There’s just other places to go where you can be more satisfied.”
NPR is so woke it purposely left out the Donohue-Levitt hypothesis which postulates that abortion reduced crime in the 90’s and beyond. Because that denies the personhood of the fetus to suggest that a fetus actually grow into a person, some of whom may go on to commit crime. This is a major contributing factor to lower prison populations today. In the 80’s, IL on average had 60,000 abortions a year and 50,000 a year in the 90’s. If those people were alive today those people would be in their 20’s and 30’s, and in their prime of crime.
