Ciao, Baby

You will never win an argument on the topic of abortion. It is an emotional subject and the opposing camps are firm in their beliefs. Personally, I'm a pro-choice guy.........hey, I just lost half of my audience. If it's possible, we will take a practical look at the subject. Author Steven D. Levitt, in his new book "Freakonomics," says that the reason that the violent crime rate has been decreasing the past 10 years is due in part to Roe v. Wade. There is less violent crime because there are less violent criminals. The first aborted fetuses after the ruling would now be in their 20's. We all know that children that come from unstable. unwanted home environments have a higher propensity for anti-social behavior. Ergo, these little darling fetuses never had the chance to grow up into the people who would be stabbing your grandmother and taking her Social Security check. Yeah, yeah, yeah........they never had the chance to grow up and become the next Abraham Lincolns either you say. Well, Abraham Lincoln - as well as all the other ground breaking Americans - did not come from psycho, crazy families. So there.
