According to the pro-lifers, we're committing murder when we terminate a pregnancy (even an embryo of just a few cells) but it's "justice," not murder, when a criminal is put to death. This logical inconsistency further supports the conclusion that their underlying agenda isn't what it seems. Furthermore, I wonder how many of these hard-core criminals were unwanted children.

It is so depressing and hard to believe that so many people (especially politicians) can willfully ignore studies like this and continue to (sucessfully, even) promote policies that go right in the face of such studies.
