No More Bin Laden

[kandrathe]

... I feel life is precious, but unlike you, I think people deserve the right to live, not be forced into a lifestyle where they will grow up ignorant, resentful, and destined for a criminal life. Who knows, maybe they could be one of the lucky ones... maybe not. But I think abortion has its purpose in this world!

So... life is precious and the innocents should be killed to prevent them from being raised by bad parents? I'm not so sure that kids raised by drug dealers are doomed to a depraved life, like Stanley Armour Dunham (infamous drug user during the 70's on Kuhio Avenue in Waikiki) who raised a pretty successful grandson. These kids sometimes grow up to become president of the US.

The scary reality described by Lavcat regarding Edwin Katzenellenbogen hits all too close to home here as well. My wife's family has a history of genetic eye problems (about a 20% chance per child). Two of my wife's relatives were sterilized as adolescents in Faribault at their mother's insistence. I have one son without issues, and one son with issues (his lens was removed at 6 months old, and he had a new one implanted last year when he was 7 years old).
