Finally Gary Jacobsen has a great idea — a sure way to reduce crime.
Just encourage undesirables who bring children into the world destined to become criminals to get abortions! Maybe we can give them a little extra public assistance for their community-minded sacrifice.
We could probably do even better than that. We could require women to get a permit to have a baby. Of course, a background check would be required to ensure that the parent(s) didn’t exhibit any of the characteristics that might lead to a child who could grow up to be a criminal or some other burden on society.
No permit — automatic abortion. What an original idea! Well, maybe not so original. I recall that someone else had a similar solution to get rid of undesirables over 70 years ago. It worked quite well, for a while anyway.
I believe his name was Adolf Hitler. While we’re at it, we might as well dust off “A Modest Proposal” by Jonathan Swift and give it a try. There really are solutions to these problems in society. We just need to think outside the box.
