No, they just wanted to run Social Security into the ground by killing off 40 million would-be taxpayers in the past 30+ years. The reduction in the birth rate since 1973 has really screwed everyone retiring after the Baby Boomers because now there won't be enough people paying into the system to support my generation in our old age so we'll starve to death. Think of it as aborting senior citizens.
By the way, Answer Faerie, I was born with hydrocephalus. I've had a shunt on the right side of my head since I was 18 months old. I've had complications at times as a result of the hydrocephalus, and I've got other medical issues as well, including fibromyalgia, which leaves me in pain much of the day, but I wouldn't trade my life for anything. And I would not have been happy if I'd been aborted.

Actually, common sense should tell person that a human woman carries a new human being from the time of CONCEPTION.
An unborn child has a beating heart at 18 days and brain waves as early as six weeks after fertilization. About half of all abortions take place within the first nine weeks, when babies "only" have arms, legs, eyes, noses, mouths, brains and hearts. But some people continue to deny the facts and insist that it's just a glob of tissue or that's it's "the woman's body". Ha! What a sorry excuse for an argument. If what the woman is aborting has a different blood type, DNA structure, and a penis, is it the woman's body or just a baby boy? The baby in a woman's womb is not her body anymore than it's the fathers'. It's a separate life who deserves to live just as much as the mother.
But politicians don't care, and that includes the vast majority of so-called "pro-life" Republicans who claim to oppose abortion because they believe it's murder but don't want to do anything to stop it.
The unborn child should be protected under the law...and it is at certain stages in certain states...ie Connor Peterson...but the law needs to be consistent.

what on earth would be the point of continuing the pregnancy described below, and why should it be anyone's say other than the parents and their doctor?
------------------------------------------------------------
Instead of cinnamon and spice, our child came with technical terms like hydrocephalus and spina bifida. The spine, she said, had not closed properly, and because of the location of the opening, it was as bad as it got. What they knew -- that the baby would certainly be paralyzed and incontinent, that the baby's brain was being tugged against the opening in the base of the skull and the cranium was full of fluid -- was awful. What they didn't know -- whether the baby would live at all, and if so, with what sort of mental and developmental defects -- was devastating. Countless surgeries would be required if the baby did live. None of them would repair the damage that was already done.

One of the beefs I have with our current administration is that they haven't accomplished ridding our nation of late-term abortions...
I'll bet the liberals will love this! While they are busy bashing cons for what we have done, our biggest beef is what we HAVEN'T. Imagine how they would scream at us if we were really getting some stuff done!
