When did Roe v. Wade make abortion Illegal? 1973. When did the horrific crime rates start dropping? That 's right, in the early 1990's, when all those delinquents that would have been born to unwed mothers would have turned 20 had they not been aborted.
Your entire argument rests on the premise that it is justifiable to kill a human being who has never committed any crime, on the basis that he
•MIGHT•, commit crimes, that he is being born into a situation that increases his likelihood of growing up to be a criminals. There are a lot of similar arguments that could be made, that society could be made safer by selectively denying rights to those who have not yet done any wrong, but who are deemed likely to do so in the future. Take away key rights established in the Third, Fourth, and Fifth Amendments, and we could give police much greater power to solve crimes, or to prevent them before they happen. If that's the sort of society in which you want to live, then surely there are some other countries out there that would fit you much better than this one. But that is not the society that our country is supposed to be.
If there was any validity, here, to your argument in favor of murdering innocent children, then surely it would be better, instead of murdering innocent children who have done no wrong, to identify some similar number of people who have had some time to live, and who have shown a credible inclination toward criminality. Just go through the roughest neighborhoods—anyone who does or deals drugs, who associates with criminal gangs, who sires children without having the decency to marry the mother thereof and support his family, anyone who demonstrates inclinations toward homosexuality or other fucked-up sexual perversions, etc.—just round them up and kill them all.
You could bring about a much, much, much greater reduction in crime and other social ills by doing that, without having to kill as many innocent children are are now killed via abortion.
But again, that is not the sort of society in which I want to live, and that is not the society that this is meant to be. That's the society that your relatives who stayed behind in The Old Country tried to build there.
Here, we do not punish anyone for a crime that he has not, in fact, been proven to have committed, nor do we punish anyone out of proportion to the seriousness of his crime.
