There's been about 1,000 capital punishments (death penalties carried out) in the US since 1976.
There's been about 44,605,523 abortions in the US since 1976.
Which one needs to increase and which one needs to decrease?

Abortions need to decrease and capital punishments need to be carried out.

If you decrease the numbers of abortions, then the number of capital punishments will most likely rise. Youth crimes, including violent crime, murder, and theft have all decreased dramatlcally since abortion became legal in the Wade vs. Roe case.

No, the reason most women get an abortion is because they know or predict that they don't have the will, finances or ability to raise a child well. The sort of envoriment where children are more likely(but hopefully not) fall on a criminal lifestyle.

It's a strange society we live in. We don't want to give the death penalty to our murderers saying it's cruel, we don't want our soldiers loosing their lives in this war understandably, but no one is noticing these 44,605,523 babies who's only crime was to want a chance at life only to be snuffed out by their own mothers. Now how do you overlook those numbers?? Sad.

Both need to increase.
Sorry, but there are too many stupid people bringing children into this world with no means to support them. Worse, too many children are being neglected and abused. Adoptive parents generally want newborns leaving older children to be unloved and forgotten. Why should my tax dollars go to raise future crimals? There are too many people commiting violent crimes that can only be described as horrible. We need to clear out the the system and start taking responsibity for our actions. If that means killing lots of people, so be it.
If you don't like my answer, fine. Do something positive to solve the problems. Love your kids, teach them right from wrong. Welcome child who needs a loving enviroment into your home. Love them and teach them like your own children.

Oh, aquademon, you are absolutely hilarious! The reason women have abortions is because they accurately predicted that they were carrying a future violent criminal! That's a knee-slapper!

People need to quit murdering. Death penalty for them. . . . NOT innocent babies.
