- Just think how friendly and vibrant our society would be with 40%
- more babies born each year, many if not most, to unwed mothers
- not financially and likely not emotionally able to raise the child.
- Thus relgating another 2 million or so people to the already near
- bankrupt welfare and/or public assistance programs per year.

- Abortion is the lesser of two ugly scenarios for many people while
- for other its the greater of two evils. Therein lies the problem.
