The baby.
So which is worse? A strict threat of capital punishment for adulterers acting as a deterrent or having no deterrent and aborting unborn humans by the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS every year.
The former is worse by an impossible to calculate margin.
Do you have any numbers to support your hundreds of thousands claim?
Its also worth bearing in mind that not all pregnancies out of wedlock end in abortion anyway. There are plenty of single parent families about.
Perhaps an alternate solution would be to teach people to use contraception and avoid the whole issue.
Still nice to see how you and GC are proving the title of this thread.
