Rachel Maddow: Frank Schaeffer's Apology
I don't want to put words in rottenseed's mouth. But there's an interesting chapter in the book Freakonomics (by Dr. D. Levitt and Dr. Stephen J. Dubner)that relates to what was said. An exert: http://freakonomicsbook.com/thebook/ch4.html
The basic premise is that if an unwanted child is brought into the world they are more likely to become a criminal. Thus Roe vs. Wade resulted in a drop in the crime rate.

Man, this is so much a case of applied economics (like the book Freakonomics) ... I don't know what the point I'm trying to make is, but playing with these variables/cut-offs is interesting nevertheless.
