    I merely used your quote. Care to clarify it?

    Actually, I should clarify. You should try to THINK for yourself before you try to think for others.

    OK, how about it's too bad that the women who gave birth to Dylann Roof and Vester Lee Flanagan didn't have abortions instead. How's that?

    Hey, they're your posts. I just enjoy making my argument by using your own thoughts against you.

    Oh, so NOW I'm thinking?

    I've been thinking along these lines too, and find it troubling.

    Yes, we've spared the country a lot of unwanted youth. But, how many possible Nobel laureates were lost as well? One of these millions of fetuses might have found the cure for cancer by now.

    Maybe a solution would be for the government to build a Homeland Talent Agency network, with one located at each hospital across the country. Each HTA would be responsible for raising and educating each child to age 18. The quality of education at each HTA will be second to none, and involve no teacher unions. Each HTA will be like a magnet school, generating the nation's next wave of leaders in the worlds of science, the arts, and even governance.

    If some kids don't quite make it through the intellectual process in the HTAs, then they can be ground up into STEM cells to help advance medical research and still have some benefit to society.

    Win-win-win.

    Walter Palmer is wondering why folks didn't blame his gun instead of him.

    See, I've never liked this argument. While it's true that one of the fetuses may have found the cure for cancer, who knows if another one wouldn't have been the world's worst terrorist and destroyed the world?

    That's not at all what that means. Pay attention.

    What? An American fetus would never destroy the world. I mean, we survived eight years of George W Bush, didn't we?

    Yeah, but what would have happened if Barbara Bush would have aborted him, and we ended up with President Dick Cheney instead?
