What a dilemma. Have a baby and get called a welfare queen, have an abortion and get accused of sin. Clearly they can't win.

Head racist here

That is racist of you......By having a black baby you head to the welfare line..... WOW

Where is Danno when we need him..

Is this true? What you posted does seem to back this up. Ms. Sanger would be so proud!

Just think what the third option might do.

I can't think of a third option, contraception, abortion, it's all different sides of the same sin.

Is what true? That being systemically poor has more downsides than you can even imagine? Yes, I would say that's true.

I'm always wrong, I don't let it bother me.

Contraception and abortion are different means to the same end. As for the sin aspect, I leave that to the religiously obsessed and walk away from that particular quagmire.

One of the two requires education and self control, while the other needs a medical procedure and a conscience amenable to ending the prospect of life. It's a question of personal choice, which should be supported by all. I know which one I'd choose to pursue.

I see Margaret Sanger has managed to show modern society will indeed support eugenics, as long as society provides easy access to terminate the lives of unwanted children, and along as it is called something else, say, "Choice."

However, since the educated and successful still reproduce at a rate less than the rest of the humans, the gene pool will continue to degrade at an increasing rate without an active program to determine who can reproduce and how often. Further, the world as a whole has done little to limit the expansion of the human population, neither overall, nor in particularly stressed regions.

I never took you as an advocate for eugenics.

Just making an observation, not discussing the moral implications.

And, as daily i have to watch a redbreasted sapsucker continue to destroy an innocent fruit tree, because songbirds are protected by Federal law, I see nothing noble about nature either.

As sentient beings, we should be shepherds of our environment's inhabitants, not their destroyers.
