POST NEVER PUBLISHED One thing which the "right-to-life" movement seems to be advocating, if only by implication, is a crime wave of truly awesome proportions. Given the fact that unwanted children normally grow up to be criminals in America, one has to consider the eighteen million muggers, rapists, axe murderers, stone killers, drug pushers, pimps, prostitutes, street-gang members, bag men, torch men, confidence men, hit men, numbers runners, boot-leggers, moon-shiners, pick-pockets, purse- snatchers, peeping-toms, cat burglers, dog soldiers, child molesters, adult molesters, pilferers, and sundry practitioners, perpetrators, and purveyors of perversions, etc., the pre-emptive demise of all of whom was being so loudly decried at the recent march on Washington, and ask oneself, "where would they all be living today, if not for the neighborhood abortion clinic?". Worse yet, assuming that a Reagan-packed supreme court will ultimately reverse the Wade- vs-Roe decision, where will the next such 18 million strong army of crime be living 12 years hence? It's enough to frighten Al Capone. I personally hope they all end up in one of four places: New York (Wm. Buckley's neighborhood), Roanoke Va. (Falwell's neighborhood), California (Reagan's neighborhood), or (and this would be justice) at the Vatican. I hope to hell they don't end up in Rockville.
