Iowa recently passed a new abortion law, which challenges Federal Laws. Many Christians are quite ecstatic over the new law and many Democrats and Pro-Choice folks are very upset. In one of the most political and controversial Blogs on the Internet one gentleman who was pro-abortion wants to stop unwanted kids which end up becoming the government’s problem and cost the taxpayer. In a quite controversial comment he states;
“Why don't we just neuter those people with less than a 104 IQ then? Then they can screw to their hearts content and there will be no abortions. Those under a certain IQ should not have kids anyway, they are screwing up the gene pool and we cannot continue our forward progression with a bunch of unwanted and “Stupid” kids. They are obviously "not equal" and the nurture of kids from parents who do not even want them is so problematic they are messing up the classrooms with discipline issues rendering the schools worthless. We do not need unwanted kids and/or parents who might haphazardly attempt to raise them and then pass them off on society at the earliest possible convenience. And lets get rid of this religious talk please too. Some of these people need to keep it zipped up and stop making babies they do not want, cannot afford and will not care for. It is not my responsibility as a taxpayer to pay for their screw-ups.”
Boy oh boy, when I read that I was sure taken aback, how about you. And although the gentleman brings up some interesting points it does sound rather a little NAZI’esque in nature. Indeed we have a real problem with poor parenting, costs of raising a child and irresponsible Moms and Dads, but is abortion availability to solve this problem really the answer? Consider all this in 2006 as the Supreme Court will be revisiting this by 2007.
