I’d rather pay $300 for a welfare mom’s abortion than thousands to raise her kid.
Few issues speak more clearly about the immorality of the pro-choice
mentality than the argument that abortion should be used to save us tax
money. Imagine that the two-year-old daughter of a family on
welfare fell into an abandoned well. Authorities calculate that
since a funeral is cheaper than a rescue, and since this little girl
might be on welfare for the rest of her life, the financially sound
thing to do is just flood the well with water. Once the child
floats to the top, the coroner can scoop up her body, have it buried,
and the taxpayers will have saved a bundle. That is obviously a
monstrous idea, but it is no more so than telling poor women that if
they will kill their children to save us money, we’ll pay the
killer.
Now if America is serious about having a social policy based on the
philosophy that it’s cheaper to execute a child than support one, then
we should start encouraging families on welfare to not only kill their
unborn children, but their born children as well. Remember, the
guiding principle here is not morality but saving money. If we
are willing to ignore the biological fact that their unborn children
are living human beings, why should we care that their born children
are living human beings?
