    The context is appreciated, however I have to take issue with the way this fallacious reasoning is presented as fact, probably much the same way the people justifying this awful decision rationalized it.

    b) How do we know which ones were unwanted?
    c) It is better to do nothing at all than to do something you know is wrong. The wrong choice is always wrong.
