### The persons most affected by bad reproductive choices are unable to make
decisions about these choices, since they do not (yet) exist at the time the
choices are made. Therefore, we, the people who do not accept the suffering
and death of innocent children, can and should enforce rules aimed at
minimizing such suffering.

You, the people who do not care about the suffering of disabled children,
may protest, but we, as long as we have the brute physical power to enforce
our rules, will not be dissuaded.
