"Politicians who won't protect an unborn child probably can't be counted on to protect the elderly or the sick and disabled when they begin to cost too much"

One of my favorite law school professors made this point in the late 1970s in his book, http://www.amazon.com/Beyond-Abortion-Theory-Practice-Secular/dp/081990… Beyond Abortion: The Theory and Practice of the Secular State , which I read for his Jurisprudence class. It is well worth reading.

I just pulled the book from my shelf and skimmed the first chapter, which is built around a hypothetical in which problems in funding Social Security have led Congress to pass legislation enabling the involuntary “Merciful Release” of senior citizens whose continued life would be a meaningless burden. Hmmm!
