Comments on: Giving Loans For Abortions? http://13ball.com/giving-loans-for-abortions there's no such thing as luck Wed, 06 Jan 2010 23:18:13 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Todd Moniot http://13ball.com/giving-loans-for-abortions/comment-page-1#comment-7508 Todd Moniot Tue, 10 Mar 2009 18:08:21 +0000 http://13ball.com/?p=448#comment-7508 It's unfortunate but societies (even "great" ones) only have so many resources. That $275 investment will likely save taxpayers a lot of welfare and crime related costs in the long term. Especially from the articles lovely portrayal of the drug mother. I'm sure you're aware of the research linking the reduction in crime in the 90's with the legalization of abortion only one generation prior. It's unfortunate but unwanted children are conceived every day. The US doesn't have the resources to take care of them and neither do the people popping them out. And more unfortunately, there isn't some sort of test that can be applied to people before they get into trouble.

And forget the loan, just give it to them. It’s unfortunate but societies (even “great” ones) only have so many resources.
