Okay, I have to write a BS op ed about a hypothetical abortion case, where a state law requires women to get an ultrasound before an abortion.

I want something shocking about abortion, yet not necessarily crazy. Ideas?

I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

1 in 3 women in the US have had an abortion by age 45, with the highest rates of abortion being for women in the 20-24 age group.  Thus, abortion is an invaluable method of controlling the number of babies born to relatively poor, unfit mothers.  If you add the fact that abortion rates are higher among minorities, you can see that abortion is an invaluable tool for increasing the average standard of living amongst children.

Either. I go to a hippy liberal school, so I'm not sure.

Well since it causes a decline in population it screws up social programs like social security and stuff.  Also take a look at Russia and tell me if a declining population is a good thing.

as per Neil, it's a form  of eugenics, which has been unpopular since the Nazis.

Argue that the decline in violent crime since the 80s has been due to the fact that abortions are disproportionately carried out by the poor and minorities.

This.  Except it's since the 90s, which is ~18 years after Roe v Wade.

The decline occurred in the '90s from the highs of the 80s. Saying since the 80s is correct.

I am, somehow, less interested in the weight and convolutions of Einstein's brain than in the near certainty that people of equal talent have lived and died in cotton fields and sweatshops.

First Maxim - "There are only two amounts, too few and enough."
First Corollary - "You cannot have too many soldiers, only too few supplies."
Second Maxim - "Be willing to exchange a bad idea for a good one."
Second Corollary - "You can only be wrong or agree with me."

A terrorist which starts a slaughter quoting Locke, Burke and Mill has completely missed the point.
The fact remains that the only person or group to applaud the Norway massacre are random Islamists.
