Plenty, but why invite them, given that you have the hubris to appoint yourself judge and jury of the fate of our souls? Isn't that your god's job?

We all know the horrible end that the majority of children face when born into poverty, which is what the majority of aborted fetuses will face if born.
When those who are against abortion put their money where their mouth is, only then will they start winning hearts and minds, as they will be actually showing what their hearts are made of.

Here is a quote from Freakonomics, I book I can thoroughly recommend. It is by Steven D. Levitt, "a Professor of Economics at the University of Chicago, (who) was awarded the John Bates Clark medal, given to the most influential American economist under the age of forty" & Stephen J. Dubner.
"In 1966, one year after Nicolae Ceausescu became the Communist dictator of Romania, he made abortion illegal. "The foetus is the property of the entire society," he proclaimed." Levitt goes on to argue that inspite of dire predictions of apocalyptic crime waves in the US, in the 1990's, crime rates actually started to fall. The single biggest cause for this, he claims, is that "On January 22, 1973, legalised abortion was suddenly extended to the entire country (USA) with the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade." The case he makes is that it is the reduction in disaffected, unloved and unwanted babies, who weren't born, and didn't become disaffected, unloved and unwanted young men that explains the fall. You can read the original article, on which the chapter in the book is based, here: http://pricetheory.uchicago.edu/levitt/ ... ed2001.pdf
Thanks, great find. And easy and quick to get the point. Just took about one minute to read the abstract, skim over the literature review, and glance at the conclusion.
