Actually, if America had allowed those 40 million children to be born and grow up into productive citizens, perhaps we would not have needed to rely instead on the illegal immigration labor force.

Perhaps- or would that mean 40,000,000 more welfare-sucking Democrat voters? I imagine Conservative women have abortions at a far lower rate than Liberals.
At least the Illegals can't vote- yet.

Well, you might be right, but I think illegal immigration is driven by a desire for American employers to underpay their workers.

Still, we are on the same side of the abortion issue. We don't have to fight. It's not an either/or situation. If it were, we would have to choose which is more important, and I might come down on your side, as abortion is THE moral outrage of our times. But we don't. We can fight for both at the same time.

I do think, however, that if immigration is not controlled soon, the abortion fight will be lost. The reasons I think this are too complicated to go into here, but suffice it to say, more Democratic voters cannot be a good thing for the pro-life movement.
