...invest part of the 12.4% of his pay that he and his employer must now send to Social Security, might speculate on, say, cattle futures (without the helpful insider advice that Hillary Clinton got) or engage in similar recklessness.

After all, if the couple had paid a doctor to perform a partial-birth abortion shortly before the baby was born, that would have been legal and the press would have supported their actions. One wonders why this fact is not mentioned. Why is a culture that aggrandizes self so surprised every time selfishness hits the headlines? These amoral teenagers are what our culture...
