Here are the facts:
It's Duck & Run who is paradoxically against welfare, not me. Despite
the fact that his fictional Jesus was largely in favor of welfare
(unless the money could be spent on him instead), Duck & Run is
thoroughly against it. He'd rather see children die from lack of food
than get a helping hand.

*I* didn't value those lives, and neither did the study. It was Duck
& Run who placed that valuation on them out of desperation because I
won't talk to him any more until he gets down on his bended knees and
begs forgiveness for his trespasses.

It is Duck & Run who has cheapened life, not me. Even if it were true
that I had placed that particular value on human life, it would still
be some 300 dollars higher than the value that hypocrite places on the
lives he joyfully kisses off to eternity in hell.
It's Duck & Run who cheapens life by saying things along the lines of
the 9/11 victims deserving what they got because they served the
fictional god Mammon instead of the fictional god Yahweh.

It's Duck & Run who hypocritically whines about that fictional 48
million aborted fetuses WHEN WORLDWIDE,, FOUR TIMES THAT MANY CHILDREN
HAVE DIED FROM HUNGER AND MALNUTRITION since Row vs. Wade - not one of
whom he gives a flying ***** about.

But of course, the overwhelming majority of *those* children are dark-
skinned, so why would *he* care about those when he can deliver white
babies into a life of welfare and then deny it to them?

That's what you have to expect from hypocritical, lying, cowardly,
vacuous scum like Duck & Run.
But then you knew that! We all did.

As long as Mound of Bumfluff is blathering on about marginal claims
in papers he clearly doesn't understand, let's toss in a paper which
does make sense. The paper is titled: "Abortion Legalization and
Child Living Circumstances: Who is the "Marginal Child?" by Gruber,
Levine, and Staiger, and an abstract can be seen here:
http://ideas.repec.org/p/nbr/nberwo/6034.html
This paper makes the case that a fetus which had not been aborted
would have gone on to be "70% more likely to live in a single parent
family, 40% more likely to live in poverty, 50% more likely to
receive welfare, and 35% more likely to die as an infant. These
selection effects imply that the legalization of abortion saved the
government over $14 billion in welfare expenditures through 1994."

This is the kind of life pro-lifers demand for our children.

When it comes to choosing $14 billion or choosing 48 million human
beings butchered for mommie's comfort and convenience, bud the dud
says "show me the money". That's a bubba dud human life valued at
$291.67 each.

WASHINGTON, August 10, 2007 (LifeSiteNews.com) - A book published in
June by a leading US economist in part responds to previous and oft-
quoted claims that abortion has been a significant factor in lowering
the U.S. crime rate. The book by John R. Lott of the American
Enterprise Institute, "Freedomnomics," answers claims by liberal
economist Steven Levitt that abortion, in reducing the number of
"unwanted" children, has eliminated significant numbers of the kind of
people who commit crimes.

Lott's 2001 study, "Abortion and Crime: Unwanted Children and Out-of-
Wedlock Births" concluded that legalized abortion has in fact
increased the overall violent crime rate.

"We find evidence that legalizing abortion increased murder rates by
around about 0.5 to 7 percent... Others note that the legalizing of
abortion might contribute to a coarsening of society that might itself
lead to more crime."

"We find evidence that legalizing abortion increased murder rates by
around about 0.5 to 7 percent... Others note that the legalizing of
abortion might contribute to a coarsening of society that might itself
lead to more crime."

"Freedomnomics," is being called a conservative response to the
publication of a manifesto of liberal political and economic theory by
University of Chicago economist Steven Levitt and New York Times
journalist Stephen J. Dubner, which topped the 2005 New York Times
bestseller list.

"Freakonomics," claimed that "legalized abortion may account for as
much as one-half of the overall crime reduction" during the 1990s.
This claim was seized upon by abortion advocates, notably Dr. Henry
Morgentaler, Canada's most notorious abortionist, who claimed it was
proof that vindicated their claims and support for abortion on
demand.

The conclusion that abortion actually tends to increase crime rates
coincides with a study published earlier this year. That study
examined data on 237 low-income women in Baltimore and showed a
statistical correlation between abortion and incidents of child abuse.
Published in March in the Internet Journal of Pediatrics and
Neonatology, the study a showed history of abortion is associated with
more frequent acts of physical aggression toward subsequent children.
