They aren’t two issues.
Abortion has severe fiscal long term consequences. Abortion has been legal since 1973, which means that the generation that is now 37 or younger will be smaller than the preceding generations.
This has severe consequences for the tax base in the next 15 years, and beyond, which will persist so long as abortion is legal.
Don’t get me wrong, many of the fiscal problems can be solved by cutting spending, but unless abortion is banned, you won’t get rid of the overall structural problems.
“Abortion has severe fiscal long term consequences....”
the consequence shrinking of the generations is responsible for the pressure on our politicians to open the borders.
the ramifications are manifold.
