Representative Bart Stupak:

What are Democratic leaders saying? "If you pass the Stupak amendment, more children will be born, and therefore it will cost us millions more. That's one of the arguments I've been hearing," Stupak says. "Money is their hang-up. Is this how we now value life in America? If money is the issue — come on, we can find room in the budget. This is life we're talking about."

Well, technically, if the children who are born go on to work for the private sector, they become net contributors who provide millions (if not billions) more in wealth. The only ones who "cost" are those the few handicapped who will never be able to work, and those who will choose not to create wealth — such those who work as career politicians or bureaucrats.

And they shouldn't complain too much about the later because they're talking about their biggest future supporters. Odd how Democrats disdain their own.

Good example of how big government devalues human life itself. Many run for office claiming life is so precious every one deserves government support, but then govern as though each new human is a curse and a burden. I guess that's inevitable when you believe economics is a zero-sum game.
