Think of the money we could save, since 1960 we have spent almost 7 trillion dollars on the War on Poverty. Since these people really have no quality of life to begin with, and seeing how the Courts in the Teri Schiavo case weighed heavily upon her supposed quality of life, it seems like the perfect solution to ending poverty. | Bad bad argument.
An infant is a parasytic organism inside an individual's body. That individual has the right to nurture it or remove it as she sees fit. People on welfare may be parasites on society (your opinion, not mine) but that is an entirely different issue. I am speaking from a clinical medical position, you are speaking from a philosophical one. Your argument just holds no water at all. Fight the good fight, and die with the enemy's heart in your hand. http://www.armysailor.com http://www.tadpolenet.com/techblog
