Political scientist: U.S. abortion toll is equal to national debt
by Kelli
Basic macroeconomics says that any such loss in population will result in a collapse of the necessary aggregate supply and demand to sustain long term national economic growth. The population loss due to abortion would have the same negative economic impact as any population loss due to war, epidemic, or natural disaster.
~ “Former liberal community organizer turned pro-life consultant” Mark A. Olson, discussing his research in which he finds that abortion has cost America “more than $16 trillion in federal revenue – or approximately the amount of our current national debt,” as quoted by Live Action News, August 1

Apologetics |
Jill Stanek is a nurse turned speaker, columnist and blogger, a national figure in the effort to protect both preborn and postborn innocent human life.
If you are really able to wrap your head aroud it its terribly painful that we have killed and killed like this. 4000 children in the USA today will be chopped up ripped up. Their arms torn off. Their skulls will be crushed. And thats just the US. I can only pray that God will receive these innocent murder victims into his eternal home. God please help us.
I don’t bring this up very often…. But the economic collapse is coming soon, whether we stop abortion or not.
One more reason to restore a Culture of Life is that we will need that spirit of caring for each other if we hope to survive another Great Depression — without collapsing into anarchy and martial law.
Not only economic, but cultural and political negative impacts. Much of our government budget is based on entitlements, which rely on future population growth to pay for promises made in the past. What happens when Social Security, the “third rail” of American politics, becomes a rail we all have to touch because we killed so many future contributors? What happens when we endure long-term anemic growth in a culture that demands the instant gratification of a special new and improved iPhone every year? We’re seeing some of that right now, and it isn’t pretty.
So-called black leaders are complaining that Latinos are now the largest minority (which is stupid, since Latinos are NOT a race — I’ve met dark-skinned Dominicanos with African features and Nordic looking Argentinians) but part of the reason for this is that so many black children have been aborted.
I suspected this when I ran some numbers on Rhode Island. Unfortunately, logic has very little impact when it comes down to pro-aborts. If’s they’re not in the center of concern, or perceived as being there, they really don’t care.
Olson’s stuff is nonsense – anybody can see that.

Yes indeed.
What a chronic dose of tripe.
The link via the word ‘research’ takes us to his “BUY MY BOOK” page (and I thought WorldNutDaily did enough of that sort of rubbish). We are told that he has no qualifications in economics and is an anti-choice advocate. That’d be like reading a biology book written by Ken Ham.
There is no way he can arrive at even a ballpark figure on what any lost revenue may be. There are simply too many variables. Social and economic factors have also changed dramatically.
And what about expenditure? How has he addressed that?
Or the fact that the scenarios he compares with would encompass a broad spectrum of age groups with people at different stages in their life. Learners, professionals, skilled, retired. The demographics are non-comparative.
He takes an extraordinarily simplistic approach.
Talk about comparing apples with birthday balloons.
What absolute arrant nonsense.
The ‘culture of life’ still exists, people just have a different view on what does and doesn’t deliver it. It’s not like the US is Sudan.
Anarchy and martial law will only ever ensue if those pathetic little ‘get the black man out of the white house’ groups and the fundies yearning for a theocracy ever manage to raise enough supporters to do something.

Is this like saying that David Reardon is a “doctor” or a PhD?
