Abortions effect on society

[Aleii]

Demographic effect of abortion? Here’s just a tip of the ice-berg:

Larry Burkett, President of Christian Financial Concepts, created a chart explaining the effects of Roe v. Wade on America’s economy. In 2005, we have aborted over 14 million workers (the first generation of Roe victims would have entered the workforce in 1990). That means that this year alone, we would have collected over $203 billion in taxes and fees, and this number is considered conservative! This staggering amount is even assuming that not all of those lost to abortion on demand would have been paying taxes.

National Right to Life goes on to estimate, “in the year 1998 alone, victims of Roe v. Wade would contribute approximately $1.7 billion to Medicare and $7.4 billion to Social Security. These contributions could provide the average monthly benefit to over 785,000 retired workers for an entire year.” It is important to note that these numbers were calculated for workers aged 16-24, who are less likely to be employed, work fewer hours and earn less money than they would as they grew older. Therefore, the economic impact of abortion will be magnified as these children would have completed their education, found full-time employment, established their careers and started their own families! As these children were allowed to grow, they would have produced a second generation of workers to follow!

anyone want to know more losses to American economy from abortion?

I’m a little confused about all of this. If you divide 14 million into 203 billion, you come out that each person contributes 14,500 (since they say “this year alone”). Even more than that because your quote states that that doesn’t consider all those 14 million people to be working. The people in the age range 16-24 don’t make a staggering amount of money either. So where are these numbers coming coming from? I sure didn’t contribute anywhere near that much money in taxes any year since I’ve been in the work force full time. I made about 25k after I initially graduated from college. While there are other taxes than income tax to consider, the government didn’t get anywhere near 14.5k from me.

Also, I’m figuring these numbers don’t take into account the fees that the government would have had to pay out for these people. (Education, disability, and other programs)

I agree that the more people in the workforce, the more money the government would get in taxes. But you have to take into account what would have been used up to if you want an accurate picture from the numbers. The way that quote is written, it makes it sound like we would have just had an extra 203 billion just sitting there, ready to do whatever needed.

Anyone have a link to the chart or how the numbers were obtained?

I am little confused to and I basically have a Masters in Economics. Abortion has no affect on money. The topics are based on a lot of assumptions which are based on finance theories. For example if you assume your children will house you after the age of 80 but you do not have children, then you could claim society which really means other people’s children must pay such a cost. But actually all economic (and money) are based on existing human and their activities.

Abortion’s Economic Impact on America

But you don’t need an economist to tell you that for every American baby killed, we all lose the net economic contribution of a human being because that per capita economic contribution is a positive number. If it was a negative number, then all of us are better dead, right?
