‘Talking dollars’: Pro-life Alaska Republican says society benefits when child abuse turns fatal (msn.com)
Alaska state Rep. David Eastman ® has inspired outrage after a video of him went viral where he argues there's a "net benefit" to society when a child dies of abuse because then the state doesn't have to pay for their care and other services. Eastman campaigned on the "sanctity of human life."
"In the case where child abuse is fatal—obviously it's not good for the child—but it's actually a benefit to society because there aren't needs for government services and whatnot through the child's life," Eastman said.
