24. C'mon, people, common sense
will tell you that children who are wanted and loved and cared for are going to be less apt to commit violent crimes.
Visit prisons, schools, hospital emergency rooms, centers for battered women and children, mental health centers, and drug treatment centers. Talk to the people who have been either the victims of crime or who have commited crimes.
Sure, it's cold to think about...but ask yourself, was this person raised by someone who truly wanted this child? Who took care of the child, emotionally and financially?
The correlation should be your own life experience.
Children who are not wanted, not loved, and not given care are more likely to be the victims of crime and to commit crime.
How difficult is that to understand?
Where abortion is accessible, crime is less. Where abortion is restricted, crime is higher.
It's not eugenics.
It's what we all know. All children deserve to be wanted. The world would lose over 90% of its problems if every child was planned for -- emotionally and financially. No starving children. No children tortured by their parents.
Think of the difference that would make.
