1.Who will eventually become a criminal and
2.Which human life is worthy to be lived and which is not.

I feel compelled to come to Rhino's defense here. Such a policy would be evil if governments were given the power to pre-determine who shall be born, as indeed they were in the days of the eugenics movement.

I'm for unlimited access to birth control so PARENTS can choose when they shall have children. Let's face it: in our hearts, we know Margaret Sanger was right in claiming that unwanted children tend to become social liabilities in the next generation.

The power to determine life and death, except in wartime and in self-defense, is a right reserved for God and Him alone. As I said before, when fallen mankind decides that he is omnipotent enough, wise enough, and all-knowing enough to choose who lives and who dies, we end up with Stalins and Hitlers and Maos. No human being is qualified to make those determinations.

Now you may be someone who doesn't factor God into much in life, and you may not think He has a place in matters of whether babies, whom He creates by the way, get to be born or get to be eviserated. That's your right. However, we then again run up against those pesky facts of history, like I mentioned above. That kind of puts to the lie the notion that man is qualified to make decisions about life and death. And I certainly have yet to meet the person so all-wise and divine that he has the ability to know what kind of person an unborn child will be, based on who his parents are.

And we have to face the facts about Margaret Sanger- unpleasant though they may be- that she was a racist, religous bigot, genocidial maniac; a woman full of hate and bitterness because of her own poverty-stricken childhood. A woman who set herself up as God and inflicted her own anger on those human beings who were, because of poverty and lack of education, ill-equiped to defend themselves against her rage-fueled fanatism. That is the unfortunate truth about Margaret Sanger.

And I'd be careful about issuing blanket statements on "unwanted children". Every child is wanted by God, is created by Him, and has a purpose in His creation. It is not the place of sin-sick human beings, in thier finite, limited, fallen minds, to decide who lives and who dies. It's bad enough that this nation has legalized the slaughter of innocents so that people can continue in thier sin and not be bothered with the consequences; let's not make it worse by trying to find ways to justify it.
