I disagree.

It is wrong to kill a baby because you feel sorry for the life it will have to live. Life is way more precious than that, and there are so many examples that prove you wrong. I've heard this one used before: There was a little girl born into an environment where she was hated. Not for who she was, but what she was. She was unwanted in the worst way--beaten regularly, physically and mentally abused, forced to work with no pay, saw and felt things that no man, let alone a little girl, should be allowed to see. But she lived on. And grew up to be one of the most courageous and heroic women this country has ever seen--Harriet Tubman.

And there are so many more. Granted, there are children who will see horrible things in there life, but killing them is not the solution. These kids deserve a chance to grow.

And people are not the result of the circumstances in which they were raised. Granted, it is a factor. But while there are some criminals who come from "unfit parents" there are also people who come from the same environments and turn out okay. There are also people who came from loving homes that end up becoming criminals.
