I am adamantly pro-life for moral and religious reasons, but it has occurred to me that women who get abortions may be making a positive Darwinian contribution to the gene pool.This is a valid argument. Who is more likely to be a criminal, an unwanted child, who grows up in a violent, drug using, promiscuous home, born to a single, uneducated and unprepared mother; OR a child who is wanted and can be raised by responsible parents?
Simply look at the statistics of who has more abortions, then look at the environment these unwanted children would be growing up in. To remove emotion from the equation, you simply pay a little for an abortion up front, or pay a lot later to prosecute the criminal later(plus the untold number of victims who have been killed, maimed or robbed).

Actually, that's a good point. In this world of insanity, the least intelligent are producing the most children. That turns Darwin on his head. Of course, the question is begged: If more low IQ kids are bad, why let the low IQ parents pro-create at all? Perhaps the best thing that could now be done is to offer cash for sterilization? After, of course, stopping illegal immigration by shutting the borders....

My understanding is that that is the reason for Planned Parenthood's existence. Check out their patron "saint", Margaret Sanger.
