You are greatly misinformed. Due to activists from the Western world, the birth rate in the third world has collapsed.
wow
I just always kinda thought that a society that honored God by sharing his position on the sanctity of life might receive his blessings and therefore prosper!
Specious argument. What they are attempting to measure is both immeasurable and, in this context, irrelevant.
Nonsense, they are estimating the lifetime economic impact of each aborted person at $700,000, the government's actual estimate is over $7 million. In reality, they are lowballing the impact.
Post of the day....Perfect.
The pro-murder crowd loves to talk about how adoption rates have risen so much. What they fail to mention is that nearly all adoptions are of children from eastern Europe, China and other similar countries. Essentially, there are no American babies to adopt regardless of race or gender.
Slightly off topic but I was wondering what you guys think of this idea. Obama has announced a one time $3000 tax credit for small businesses that hire a new full time worker.
What if McCain says “ that’s a good idea but $3000 is nor enough, I propose to make it a $75,000 credit and make it permanent.”
What this would equate to is essentially one heck of a good tax break for employers. If Obama says it’s too much or can’t be permanent then it makes him out as the bad guy.
I am staunchly pro-life for principles unrelated to economics. That being said, this is still a valid consideration. And when those illegals, many of which are working on phony SS numbers and being forced to contribute through witholding taxes decide they should get the same benefits as though they had been here legally, well, the Ponzi scheme of SS will go down much harder and likely with violence. It ain’t gonna be pretty, friends.

Indeed so. In fact there was a famous quote about America being great because she is good, and that should she cease to be good then she should cease to be great.

Abortions are just the tip of the iceberg. I’m sure that the cost of birth control is even more staggering. Imagine how things would be different if your cohort was larger than the babyboom cohort.
We'll never know - how sad.
So where is Obamanation going to get additional money for additional abortions?
There’s an upside to this, as Margaret Sanger would say with glee, “We’ve euthanized millions of black babies.” And that’s what these horrific abortion mills are really about: keeping the black population as small as possible. It’s too bad blacks don’t understand what’s going on.
There has never been a country in the history of history that lost its morality that didn’t also loose its prosperity.
50 million abortions.
This number doesn’t include the number of children who could have born to those who were aborted, from 1973 to 1991. We are probably missing another 10 million people.
Total is 20% of the total population.
And they would all be potential Social Security payers.
That is why we have 20 million illegal immigrants in this country, and the powers that be want MORE.
Thanks for this. There are consequences to sin.
Exactly and what makes the problem even more pronounced is that the abortion holocaust started just as the bulk of the baby boomers were entering their prime reproductive years (the OLDEST of the baby boomers was only 27 when Roe was decided). The baby boomer generation created a demographic crisis by reproducing at an artificially low rate (the surge in contraception from the early 1960s onward has also played a role).
