Quote:So you would prefer more low income women to have unwanted births?  I mean, have you though through what would happen if the poor had no access to birth control?

 

I'm not sure if you've heard of Freakenomics, but there are some highly regarded economists that have hypothesized that there are some good benefits of lowering the number of unwanted pregnancies--especially of those from a low socio-economic background.  

 

 

Quote:Margaret Sanger would be proud. Her goal was to make sure there were less black babies.

 

 

Quote:Who cares?  If a person does not wish to go through with pregnancy, it's thier prerogative.  What racists think isn't really anything I care to discuss in regards to Abortion and a woman's right to make up her own choices.

 

I thought you were for freedom and less government in our lives...  

 

 

Quote:The strike outs are in response to Anchorman saying that the reason PP was founded is not worth discussing. The reason it was founded was to prevent a higher percentage of black babies being born if only white women could afford abortions. PP would not exist if it weren't for its racist origin.

 

In my mind, bringing up the founder of PP is a way to muddy the waters.  The USA was founded by slave owners, should we hate the USA?

 

Also, I found it interesting that based on my original post, you went directly to the race card, when I did not bring up any race, but economic circumstances.  I know that based on how the media portrays blacks, most people think poor and equate black.  But I was not.  I was speaking soley in terms of economics.  

 

As has been previously posted, this topic can become personal.  I for one do not want to hate anyone based on this discussion.  But at the end of the day, it's clear that my thoughts on life and person-hood is different than those that disagree with me.  

 

I am not for the murder of babies.  Just FYI.  I think ALL those that are pro-choice are also anti-murder of babies.  It's the definition of what one ordains a baby to be that appears to be the issue that causes such high tempers.
