[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The most merciful thing that the large family does to one of its infant members is to kill it.
– Margaret Sanger, founder of Planned Parenthood[/quote]
I think you need to look at the time period when she stated this.   As a nurse during the early 20th century, she was probably seeing a lot infants being neglected, abused, dying of starvation, particularly those from large families because they couldn't take care of the child.  Back then, there were no social safety nets.  Such a child's life would've been hell growing up, and odds are, the child would've died early, a slow and painful death.  Back then, people weren't as willing to adopt children, and  homes for orphans were only a little bit better than 3rd world prisons.   So it would have been more merciful for that child to have never been born.

There are many verses in the Bible that if you read it today, you'd think it was horrible and inhumane... like the verse where God tells his people to kill every man, woman and child in a village.

Context matters.

Going back to the thread topic... I think the only solution is forced vasectomies. You'd have no need for abortions then, or very very little need.[/quote]
