The Long, Cruel History of the Anti-Abortion Crusade.

The writer is wrong on one point, when he asserts that "no one is pro-abortion". I am pro-abortion. I expect each additional human baby born today to result in more than one additional premature human death a few decades from now. For this and other powerful reasons, have an abortion, not baby.

However, trying to discourage excess births by cutting welfare benefits for large families is cruel and unjustified.

Children did not choose to be born, or in which families they were born, and growing up in poverty can stunt them physically and mentally for life.
