NEW YORK – The Obamacare architect at the center of controversy for his frank admissions that passing the president’s signature legislation required lying to the American people published a paper during the Clinton administration observing that legalizing abortion saved the government $14 billion in assistance to economically disadvantaged mothers, including African Americans, and lowered crime.
MIT economics professor Jonathan Gruber argued in his paper that without the 1973 Roe v. Wade decision, “marginal children” would have been born to many poor mothers. He said statistics show these children would have been 70 percent more likely to live in a single-parent family, 40 percent more likely to live in poverty, 50 percent more likely to receive welfare and 35 percent more likely to die as an infant.
Economist Steven D. Levitt and journalist Stephen J. Dubner in their bestselling 2005 book, “Freakonomics,” relied on Gruber’s work to argue that legalizing abortion was responsible for an approximately 50 percent reduction of crime in major urban centers in the early 1990s.

Hitler too. Gruber is advocating genocide any way you cut it.
Gruber will eventually be called before congress and he will take the fifth.
Indeed. Their eagerness to replace the aborted black babies with Mexicans is interesting.
Just like the communists.
The lie is the weapon used most often by the criminal. The collectivist/socialist/totalitarian deceivers use it to plunder and kill. Talk about the “war on women”, babies, moms, dads, citizens of the republic.
