Gloria.tv: Obama - I don't want my daughters "punished with a baby"

Gloria.tv: Obama - I don't want my daughters "punished with a baby"

This short clip with Obama about says it all. Probably playing to the crowd during an election stump last year.

Like many others, I have concerns that this near unconscious view among "pro-choicers" - finally articulated by Obama here - that some lives are not worth
living, or that they can be snuffed when inconvenient- must certainly impact other areas of moral decision-making.

How exactly? Does it, as they might claim, only impact poor mothers? How can we measure the full impact of moral
degradation of the devaluation of life? If we can measure, say, the economic impact of a mill closure or the pollution
of a stream, why not the dollar value of an immoral decision or "choice"?
