As a repentant Boomer, I can tell you that we brought a lot of our problems on our very selfish selves...beginning with The Pill and unconsequential sex and accelerated geometrically by Roe v. Wade, which we cheered at the time.
But now the demographic reality is really setting in. The 2 million or so kids aborted in 1973 would have turned 18 in 1991. If some of them would have married (let us hope!) young their offspring would be turning 18 this year.
So we have selfishly aborted not one, but now TWO generations.
More evil will arise from our evil, make no mistake.
The oldest Baby Boomers would have been about 27 years old in 1973 when the Roe v. Wade decision was handed down. By that time some states already had loosened their abortion restrictions.
Most of the political and cultural rot you describe can be directly attributed to the "Greatest Generation" -- a misnomer if there ever was one. That "greatest generation" turned this country into a big-government, globalist behemoth that our Founders never would have recognized.
“As a repentant Boomer...”
Or, more accurately, as a weasel Boomer.
The Boomer generation did not bring about abortion, it was nine much older men.
The Boomer generation did not create the pill.
The vast majority of Boomers were a bit too young to be concerned about abortion in 1973.
The Boomer generation is certainly much worse than the preceding generation, but all the succeeding generations are worse — due to a plan of national sabotage mapped out by the Left in the 30s — the Frankfurt School initiative.
