The thing is, how do you know the unwanted child's life will suck? By that logic, don't let any more kids be born in 3rd world countries. Only let kids be born to parents with credit scores above 720. There is no promise to a good life!
Calling it a "choice" is bullshit! If the person did not want a child the person should have kept there legs shut (we are not discussing rape etc.) personal responsibility is a bitch huh!!
lotsofzeros - wtf does a man not having the abortion have to do with anything? It takes 2 too make the baby, despite what a bunch of feminazis would have us think. Since it took 2 man has a say in it!
http://www.chrisevans3d.com/files/iq.htmA real answer would be putting an IQ minimum on being a parent, not testing your credit score.
What terrorists? Seriously.. you believe that shit? Oh gawd, no way! THE WAR ON TERROR!WTF? first, if a person is responsible after getting knocked up they would spend the 9 months either finding a good family for the child or letting an agency do it for them. I was adopted at 3 days old. My birth mother was 17.
The notion that the child would go to foster care and thus there life would suck is complete bullshit. That is a 2nd grade argument. Shit, using your twisted logic we should not get out of bed or run the next ppc campaign cause something bad might happen.
The point about not killing the fetus is the human has a chance at life. I am not talking about extenuating situations here, (rape etc.) just abortion, cause you can.
As for the George Carlin argument, you and anyone else who agrees with that is an idiot. Terrorists want you dead. No negotiation, your way of life would be over. Your porn habit would be over, your right to be an idiot, gone!
What do I believe about euthanasia, if you are going to die a miserable death and you want to avoid it, avoid it.

There is an adoption system in this country that could handle the number of abortions performed every year.
The arguement is stupid that there life might suck so it is ok for them to die.
Sorry, it doesn't work that way. IQ distribution gravitates towards the mean. So two 130 IQ people can have a child and still have a retard.A real answer would be putting an IQ minimum on being a parent, not testing your credit score.
The war on terror is fraud. Almost everything that was supposed to have been executed by 'terrorists' was an inside job and done by your very own government.
OT, What if you could only get welfare support for one or two children at the most?
That's another thing. Let's say you're the sterotypical conservative anti-choice/abortion. You also tend to be against welfare. So basically you are encouraging kids having kids (under educated at that), low income, higher at-risk behaviours, tending towards abusive ubringing and put the cherry on the cake now, no government assitance.
Yep. These are the type of children I want in my future.
It's still my body...so my choice. Ha.

Actually, decades of Psychological research (the amount of effort that went into this question is unbelievable) show that intelligence is determined 50/50 between nature (genes) and nurture (how a kid is raised, environment, etc).
So yes, a high IQ couple can have a stupid kid, but genes less likely to affect it too much, because high IQ couples tend to have the means (money, job, social network) to provide a very good environment for the kid.
Stupid parents (to use the layman's term) might give birth to a genetically towards high IQ predisposed kid, but often lack the means to educate it.
