All good points, but I think you overestimate the influence of Baby Boomers in the nation's political and cultural landscape 45+ years ago.

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.

Exactly. Boomers were the ones aborting their babies.
