An op ed writer in yesterday's TimesHerald.com justified the need to continue aborting due to the fiscal drain these children would otherwise cause us. They would be financial burdens to our taxes, insurance, and foster care system, so the writer postulates.
She does spin one point I say great to:
If legally-recognized "life" begins at conception, there will be serious economic ramifications. Currently, dependent exemptions on taxes are only permitted for children that are alive outside the womb. But if life starts at conception, so too should "dependent" status.
However, she glaringly overlooks our dried-up Social Security system, precisely so because the payers have been killed by abortion.
She also overlooks the growing crisis of lack of young medical workers to care for the old, fat-cat pro-aborts. Etc., etc., etc.
Dr. Allan Carlson of the Howard Center estimated last year that the cumulative lost income of 45 million aborted children is nearly $4 trillion. He estimated the lost net Social Security income will be $118 billion in 2010.
