Alaska Rep Dave Eastman

 Alaska Rep Dave Eastman was censured for reportedly saying: 

"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 over the whole course of the child’s life."

The best Yahoo comment to the article:

BBagwinds:

Good example of Republican "family values and fiscal responsibility": "Ban abortion to ensure they're born, then let them be beaten to death to ensure none of my tax dollars goes to their support." Sadism at its finest.

Totally bonkers (who voted against this?), but Chelsea Clinton said something similar about the benefits of abortion helping the economy, but didn't get this type of response by the media.

I do not know if Chelsea said that. Yet if Naime remembers, it must have gotten media attention. If Chelsea said it, she would be correct. A baby born with birth defects has little chance of being adopted (except perhaps in cases of abusers who want an easy target?) ~ kept in foster care until they age out at 18, with no family or resources become homeless?

And often those children farmed out to families who only foster due to getting paid, the kids get abused. Always better for all if females and their doctors make the decision to terminate.
