Some pro-life critics of the pro-abortion movement and Roe frame the discussion of its ramifications on our society as "the loss of a generation". Here are but 2 of those articles, The lost generation: 31 years of Roe v Wade, and The Life of Roe.

The latter frames it well, and carries this poignant line:

"Because their lives were incomplete, those of us who escaped Roe's reach are also incomplete. We have lost something immeasurable — the dreams and hopes of an unseen, unborn generation. "

It is my belief that this assessment of Roe as the elimination of a generation is correct. I am not a statistician, so do not know the exact count of a generation of people, but having lived under Roe my whole life, I cannot help but wonder of the 40+ million unborn who were not allowed to live, what of their own future unborn children and theirs, and so on? Is this not the make-up of a generation?

There were millions born during that time, so the generation is not lost. The aborted lives would have made the generation bigger. I have heard comments from some pro-aborts that it's no loss because it kept the population down. Go figure.

My favorite is I'm glad my morthr didn't believe in abortion.
