Thoughts on Abortion and Social Security

It only takes simple mathematics to figure the loss
of social security contributions caused by the
death of 44 million babies aborted in
this country since 1973 as sited in the North
Carolina Reported Abortion Statistics. According
to the National Center for Policy Analysis, “People
are having fewer children. For each generation
to be the same size as the one before (the
replacement rate), women must have 2.1
children. In 1940, the fertility rate was 2.23.
Today, the rate is 2.07 and by 2050 it is
expected to trend downward to 1.95.
The result has been dramatic. In 1940,
there were 42 workers per retiree. Today
the ratio is 3-to-1; by 2050 it will be 2-to-1.
The burden on each individual worker will
increase substantially and we will no longer
be able to keep our promises to retirees at
current payroll tax levels”.
.
Let’s do the math; 44 million abortions averages
out to approximately 1,375,000 people per year
who were never added as Social Security
contributors. 1,375,000 children whose lives
have been ended each year for 32 years and the
oldest of those casualty’s of the holocaust called
abortion would now be 32 years old, well into the
Social Security retirement contribution system.

If those children had been permitted to live,
those born in 1972 would have started
contributing to SS in 1991. Between 1991 and
2005, the nation lost approximately 19,250,000
people who would have become eligible to
contribute to the Social Security program.

It seems to me the SS program is already
broken. If you factor in the 44 million babies
who perished between 1973 and 2005, along
with non-aborted infant mortality rates, birth
control, longevity of retirees, (who now live on
average 10 years longer than people lived
100 years ago), congressional misappropriation
of Social Security funds for pet projects, and
probably other data not known to this blogger,
this problem seems seriously out of control,
should we continue to put this off for another
year, or should we deal with the problem now?

Ironically, it seems none of the Senators or
Congressmen talk about this data or factor it
into the reasons for the insolvency of Social
Security. But it is time to be a great nation
and act in integrity. Put the political prancing
aside and be about solving the Social Security
problems facing us.

Let us love our children and cherish them as the
future of this great land.

Children are a heritage from the Lord, The
fruit of the womb is a reward. Psalm 127:3
