Irrelevant, really. What if you're driving and kill someone who potentially could've cured cancer. Should we now ban cars?

And even then you have the cost of all the trials, so it would still be much more expensive.

Abortion made me hit my toe on a door. It's the root of all evil.
"The Nixon campaign in 1968, and the Nixon White House after that, had two enemies: the antiwar left and black people. You understand what I'm saying? We knew we couldn't make it illegal to be either against the war or black, but by getting the public to associate the hippies with marijuana and blacks with heroin, and then criminalizing both heavily, we could disrupt those communities. We could arrest their leaders. raid their homes, break up their meetings, and vilify them night after night on the evening news. Did we know we were lying about the drugs? Of course we did."—former Nixon domestic policy chief John Ehrlichman

what? So basically you want to get rid of trials that are used to determine guilt and prevent those who are not guilty from being wrongfully terminated?

The Baby Boomer Period, or, to better explain
The term "baby boom" most often refers to the post–World War II baby boom (1946–1964) when the number of annual births exceeded 2 per 100 women (or approximately 2% of the total population size). There are an estimated 78.3 million Americans who were born during this demographic boom in births.

So what does that have to do with the economy?

Well, we all believe that the President rules the economy with an iron fist. I have seen many people think that on the forums. That, is horseshit.

Those 78.3 million Americans are now retiring (or dead already, but they really don't effect the economy anymore), and no longer in the workforce. For better or for worse, Social Security now pays them. So why does that matter?

Well, 78.3 million workers is a lot, almost the entire population of Germany. But still, abortion doesn't seem to play in.

Well, the Abortion movement started in 1973 (Hey Roski, stfu, you don't know what you are talking about, some random ass movement nine years after your damn point), meaning that instead of making babies, they were terminating pregnancies more.
This also means that there would be no baby boom after Vietnam as well. So now, you don't have enough people to replace the workforce of 78 MILLION people. That is why the economy is collapsing.

Or not. I don't know. It might be fucking aliens. What do you guys think?

well mixed with terminating 50 million babies, poor economic polices, pseudo empire of democracy giving, and a expanding federal government. not to forget the FED

How's does the fed have anything to do with it? Also, the Federal government adds to economic growth.

And if we didn't have those abortions, we'd be paying for them in...another 30 years.

Bingo. Anti-abortion policies are one of the root causes of the Romanian revolution; working-class families became larger, people were poorer, there were more unemployed people and a huge underclass formed. I don't see how anyone could argue that abortion harms economies, when in reality the opposite is true.

Because people don't learn enough about the world around them, and don't have to time to read good literature about these issues. :P

Remember, NationStates users: if you're a young, white, middle-class teenager on the internet, actually sourcing some evidence isn't actually required for any argument you make!

I think abortion is unpatriotic because the fewer babies we have, the fewer potential soldiers we can send overseas! If you exercise your rights over your body, you are ruining this nation and supporting the Taliban, women of 'Mericuh!

Clearly we need to go back to chastity belts for women and penile belts for men to stop masturbation and extramarital sex.
