10. I knew a guy in college who was pro-abortion (his words)

He was an ultra conservative and seemed to support eugenics and social Darwinism. His view was more abortions by poor women meant fewer people on welfare that his taxes would have to support.

I also think he called himself pro-abortion because if he ever got a girl pregnant he would demand that she get an abortion, lest he have any financial responsibility.

Yeah, real prize he was, and he transferred to another school the next year.
