I really pissed someone off

That pretty well describes a lot of my experiences in Mississippi.

Really? I have only been in the states for about six months on-and-off over the years. One weekend I took a road trip with an American friend. We drove west from Chicago to the Mississippi where he dipped the wheels in the river for some odd ritualistic reason. I found the state quite eerily empty. Is Mississippi more populous than Illinois?

If you drove west from Chicago to the Mississippi River, you were still in Illinois and across the river from Iowa. The state of Mississippi is not more populous than Illinois, but it is both rural and urban and I got stared at everywhere I went.

Ah!

We crossed into Iowa just so I could say I'd been there.

To piss of lifers/birthers just tell them since 25%-30% of all births are miscarriages i guess god is the best abortion doctor around.

I think I love you.

Rev. Thomas Malthus, 1766...1834 wrote; Essay on the Principle of Population.  He postulated that population will rise to the level of maximum global sustainability and thereafter decline. The process would repeat over time. His position was that god is punishing us for having so little regard for our earthly resources. Or at least that was the general idea.

The downside of geometric increase in population is not pleaant to contemplate. We will have strife, disease, insurrections, wars, and brutal behavior by those who would survive.  They will do whatever is percieved as necessary without regard to the welfare or survival of the rest of the populance. The end of altruism. Darwin vindicated.  

LDS, Catholic, and numerous other types are serious about their position on reproductive obligation. I think that we are in trouble

I guess the point I'm making is, I wouldn't let it bother you.  Because whoever sent you that email is an idiot.

I'll add "an idiot who, if he had been aborted, would have made the world a better more loving place."

thankfully my mother is a christian who does not support abortion if i was never born then well...there would be no true difference i just enjoy the living part... but yes i support abortion due to many reasons for example...overpopulation...if the parent is unfit or does not have the funds to support the child exactly what the OP said... having a child is no laughing matter it takes serious consideration and in todays society i find it sad that so many children are having unprotected sex...me being a child myself.. i am ashamed of todays generation. once again just my two cents.
