Forced childbirth for jobs deficit reduction? Sure, why not?

I think the wingnuts may have finally found the argument that will bring the really big money into the anti-abortion business:
I would suggest that it is very much the case that those of us in the majority support this legislation because it is the morally right thing to do, but it is also very very true that having a growing population and having new children brought into the world is not harmful to job creation. It very much promotes job creation for all the care and services and so on that need to be provided by a lot of people to raise children.”
Well heck, I guess it takes a Village (of low wage workers) to raise a child after all.
I don’t know who’s making the argument that child bearing is harmful to job creation but it sure isn’t the pro-choice folks. They tend to think such arguments are, shall we say, a little bit disrespectful. Others aren’t quite so delicate about it:
What impact has this massive destruction of human life had on our current economic situation? A RealCatholicTV.com study called “The Cost of Abortion” estimates that America’s GDP is currently deficit $37 trillion, due to the millions of Americans that are missing from contributing to the nation’s economy.
The study looked at abortion statistics from between 1973 (when abortions became legal) and 2007 (the latest year abortion figures are available) to find over 48 million “missing” Americans. In addition, statistics say that half of those aborted would have been females that likely would have had at least one child by the time they reached age 25.
Using the number of first and second generation aborted Americans would project to a total of 54,853,850 missing persons, who would have interpreted to $37,642,025,464,469.90 in 2013 U.S. dollars. Because of abortion, America has 52 million fewer taxpayers that would have provided a strong economic foundation for the nation, the study report says.
Because, every one of those fetuses would have grown up to be hard-working, God-fearing Republicans you just know it! It’s the one’s who were actually born who are the parasites.
I think this pretty well proves once more that if the sluts and the feminazis would just butt out so that women would do what they’re supposed to do, all of our problems would be solved.
