Abortion Sold as Crime Cure
Posted by Dave Blount at January 18, 2008 7:05 AM
If you can fight fire with fire, why not fight crime with abortion? Yesterday ABC's Good Morning America featured Freakonomics co-author Stephen Dubner, who intoned that before Roe v. Wade, "unwanted children" were (via NewsBusters):
at a much greater risk for being born into the circumstances where they're more likely to lead a criminal life.
Even the depraved phrase "at risk for being born" went unchallenged. Author John Lott has countered in Freedomnomics that the moral decadence abortion both represents and enables has resulted in more single-parent families, leading to more crime. But no one at ABC was about to contradict Dubner, who concluded:
It's good to know what forces work in society, if for no other reason than to keep doing the right thing.
Since it's "doing the right thing" to impose the death sentence on unborn children because they might grow up to be criminals, why are liberals so appalled when capital punishment is applied to those who already have?
The least we could do is give children a chance to be good, before applying the preemptive death sentence. It's not too late to have them offed once they start to act up. Maybe we should set up late-late–term abortion centers, to be funded by ShrillaryCare. That ought to keep kids in line. "One more word out of you, young man, and I'll have you aborted!"
