Such a RIDICULOUS way to look at this...there are so many real arguments against abortion, to use this as one makes you look foolish.

Oh really? Can you name one that would persuade YOU to become anti-abortion and pro-life?

Do you deny that a sudden and dramatic decline in birth rates will have an economic impact down the road? Especially when it is the largest generation in history doing it?

Has it not occurred to you the reason we have so many illegal aliens in the United States is because we don't have enough workers?

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.
