I we kill all the poor people - we'll greatly reduce the number of welfare recipiants.
Great justification: we're killing potential criminals. I thought you had to a) actually do something illegal to be considered a criminal, and that once you did, b) you were innocent until proven guilty.
Anyway, an interesting statistic in this debate is not being aired:
According to the Census Bureau (2000), African-Americans will cease to exist as a minority of any note by 2075. Major reason: 1 in 3 black children are aborted (the majority of the other two are liable to be incarcerated, grow up in a one-parent home with concomitant issues, or die younger). Perhaps if the DNC were to find out that their voting base would cease to exist, they might change their tune.
Those citing lower crime numbers in relation to the number of abortions would have been right at home in Nazi Germany.
