Well, let me count the ways...


1) That's rather reminiscent of claims that have popped
up from time to time throughout American history that
the [fill in blank : Blacks, Irish, Italians, Hispanics;
whatever group that was poor and having ten and fifteen kids
per family] would quickly overrun "us". It never seems
to happen. I am NOT saying anything about prejudice
here; I am merely saying that "Group A will outbreed
Group B" is not an argument that seems to work out
in the long run. Particularly in prosperous and
well-educated cultures.

2) Do you think that the pro-choice stance is genetic? That
no children of pro-lifers grow up and favor the right to
abortion?

3) Do you think that pro-choicers have NO children, or
have significantly fewer than pro-life families?

4) Do you think that everyone who is in favor of
keeping abortion available actually HAS abortions
themselves? If so, why?
