Would you be okay with saying that the nearly 15 million abortions performed from 1973 through say 1980 were almost all baby boomers? And will you acknowledge the substantial drop in child birth rates starting when the baby boomers came of age? All I am trying to do is point out the fact that when a huge generation reproduces at a much lower rate than their parents did that it will have consequences, especially when there are government programs for retirees that are funded by CURRENT taxpayers.

Talk about demographics instead of just abortions, because the effect of legal & available artifical birth control has probably had a greater impact than abortions.

And will you acknowledge the substantial drop in child birth rates starting when the baby boomers came of age?

Yes, but you have to pay attention to what ended the boom (1964), when most boomers were no where near child bearing age yet.

Splitting the boomer generation in half, you'll see that the biggest boom was between 1956 & 1964. From the US Census Bureau.
