Are you saying all the hungry people in the world would probably rather be dead, that it would have been better if they weren't alive rather than to be alive and suffer? Sorry, but even if I was hungry and suffering, I'd probably rather still be alive, and I think I should extend this courtesy to others, by letting others live.
"A hundred miles away, there may be food. Planned Parenthood was founded on the notion that the best way to end poverty is to limit the numbers of the poor."
Wasn't it Ebenezer Scrooge who said, "let them die and decrease the surplus population." If abortion is the ending of human life, then it is the ending of human life. Bringing up the hungry in the world to justify abortion is the worst sort of utilitarian ethics. The same reasons could be used to justify the killing of the elderly, the sick, the crippled, etc. "Hey, there's too much hunger in the world. These old people can't work anymore, and they're using up food. The humane thing is to painlessly end their lives."
