I couldn't agree more.  Whatever the nature of a woman's "right" to abort,
one of the arguments for abortion-on-demand that I find most obscene
is the one that goes, "Abortion prevents THEM from multiplying the
welfare rolls."  I happen to believe that there is room in this country
for everyone who is born, and for everyone who immigrates, legally or
not, and resources to support them.  People are assets; people PRODUCE
wealth; people are America's strength.
