Impossible to measure this accurately. It is EXTREMELY unlikely that those unwanted children would all be productive members of society.

There’s some chance that we’d be in WORSE economic shape if all those unwanted children had been born into lives of welfare dependency.

Furthermore, since the natural abortion rate outstrips the artificial one by a factor of ten or so...we’d be better off focusing on fertility treatments for those who want children, and on reducing pollutants in our environment such as estrogen-mimicing chemicals that reduce male sperm counts or others that increase harmful mutation rates.

You have NO CLUE what you are talking about. The push for contraception and abortion caused the Baby Boomers to reproduce at an artificially low rate. Now they are about to start retiring and they will destroy the economy in the process.

Your argument is ridiculous.

Its indicative of the God like omniscience of the pro-choice movement.

We know best who should live or die.

Obviously the aborted ones were going to be drains on society.

Its not possible to conceive that actions outside of killing the child could be more culpable as to why someone has to be in poverty or on welfare.

Abortion is a human economic catastrophe. This is the singular reason that China cannot surpass the United States as an economic power. What they have done demographically is an incomprehensible economic nightmare in regard to aging.

If they are unwanted children then why is it almost impossible to adopt kids in the USA? Of course they are wanted.
And how would anyone know about their future productivity? What is it about soon to be aborted children that makes them unqualified to be become productive members of society?

I am glad you are not my mother.
