These killers would lure particularly vulnerable women with children into their lairs before attacking the infants. They would leave the mothers alive, often mutilated physically but always scarred emotionally. The primary targets were young women, most often from poor neighborhoods. According to some of the writings that have been uncovered from this massacre, these killers each believed that they were doing society a favor by weeding out the unfortunate, unwanted, or ill-formed. Worse, most of them were protected by powerful individuals so that even when their horrific tales were brought to light and some were brought to trial, they were allowed to go free. Most returned to their killing sprees.
The worst part is that these killers often convinced the women that they were better off without their children. No, the worst part is that they haven't stopped. Actually, the worst part is that they are now trying to force the taxpayers of America to pay them for their work.
According to the Center of Disease Control, 18% (more than one out of every six) known pregnancies are ended in abortions (not counting miscarriages). Some sources put the number at more than one out of every five. More children have been killed in America since Roe v. Wade than the combined genocides in Germany, Armenia, Cambodia, Rwanda, the Soviet Union under Stalin, and Mao's Great Leap Forward in China.
Now, to be abundantly clear: the solution to this problem is through education and creating laws that require that education. Furthermore, we need to provide care for those most susceptible and for all of the victims of this horrendous crime. Punishing the women who are victims of this situation or even those who mistakenly believe that they are doing the right thing by providing abortions is not a solution. Simply making laws that outlaw abortion will not work (as it hasn't in the past). We need to provide the environment and support that would give these women and children a nurturing future.
