You can say it's an artificial problem, but it is a severe problem, and one I don't see being fixed. The Pope recently pleaded with Italians to have more children to help reverse the declining birthrates. I think Italy's birthrate is around 1.2 children per woman, which means every generation the population is essentially being cut in half. Now I ask you, how does abortion, murdering the next generation of our society help that problem? We get leaders blasting on talk shows how we dont have enough workers to do the jobs and thats why we "NEED" illegal immigrants to save us from ourselves. Why can't we just have our own children? Again, Russia has 225 abortions per 100 live births. Imagine how much better off we'd be with all those people living, working, learning, producing, thinking. Maybe the scientist that could have solved Fusion Power was conceived, but subsequently aborted. We're throwing away a massive potential.
