The breed was not bred to fight, only a select few of the breed were.

The American pit bull terrier is the product of interbreeding between terriers and a breed of bulldogs to produce a dog that combined the gameness of the terrier with the strength and athleticism of the bulldog.[11] These dogs were initially bred in England, Ireland, and Scotland, and arrived in the United States with immigrants from these countries. In the United States, these dogs were used as catch dogs for semi-wild cattle and hogs, to hunt, to drive livestock, and as family companions[11]. Some have been selectively bred for their fighting prowess.

I favor pits because of they're bad rep. Knowing how you people feel about them and then looking at they're cute little faces touches my heart. I rescue them as pups from a spot in my neighborhood where I know these puppy mill guys sell them. Before the 80's it was the German Shepard that was the monster dog. The pit bull was considered a family dog back then. Along comes the media, and bam... they're considered monsters, and the assholes run out to own a monster to seem cool and dangerous and end up really turning their pit into a monster... further fueling the media and people who just want to have a complaint.
If you don't know anything about these animals from personal experience, then you can't understand why some of us gasp at the thought of people wanting to wipe them off the planet. That's such an evil thought for an animal that really just wants to be your best friend and a member of your family. Like others said, if you get rid of pits then a more dangerous breed will take it's place as a dog fighters choice, trust.
