Only a few years after Roe V Wade, a pro-choice group made the following argument that the state Medicaid program should pay for abortions for the poor:
“Financing abortions for the poor is far less expensive than the cost of childbirth and welfare support for unwanted children,” he wrote. “So the government is actually paying out your tax dollars to force poor women to become mothers.”
Brief for Appellees at 185, Harris v. McRae, 448 U.S. 297 (1980); and Norman Dorsen, ACLU Campaign for Choice fund-raising letter to “Dear Friend,” n.d. [received by the writer on 29 Sept. 1979].
It is easier easier to kill poor children than support them. But this is not helping the less fortunate- or the country. Killing children to save money is wrong on a profound level.
