Effective birth control policies can prevent, I figure, around 200 times the number of births, as the number of added deaths they get from lax gun laws.

But sometimes I suspect they're actually sadists, who prefer seeing people born - to later suffer and die - than having them not be born at all.

Lot of sick puppies in this world.
