[John Beresford Tipton]

"This abuse of our tax dollars must stop,"
this sounds good, when read by itself.


But look at the figures in the release, and taking them as truthful:
Govt spent $3billion
abortions performed 3.2 milllion
Govt. therefore spent less than $935 each.

Now how many $10,000's each would the government otherwise been forced to pay in Medicaid, food stamps, ssi, welfare?

Now you can be against the govt paying for it, but it certainly is not an "abuse of our tax dollars", compared with the alternative outlays.

You offered, "Now how many $10,000's each would the government otherwise been forced to pay in Medicaid, food stamps, ssi, welfare?" ... Your defense of serial killing as enlightened social policy is duly noted. Your 'King Herrod' thinking seems appropriate in this season, congrats for being timely if nothing else.

[Old Professer]

Assuming that all aborted babies would grow up to be lifetime welfare recipients is hardly a rational basis for calculating the benefit of government spending.
