One point that I agree 100% with Zell is social security. Today, we have a massive demographic that is just entering retirement and old age: the baby boomers. Who is going to support this generation? They managed to kill off 45 million (in the U.S. only) people through abortion. Those 45 million people would be in a position to contribute to social programs and provide support for the aging population. But in true baby boomer fashion they don't care about anyone but themselves (I am generalizing here but the baby boomer generation as a whole does have selfish tendencies). That is the main driver behind abortion: selfishness. So it comes as no surprise to me that we find our society in this mess.
“How could this great land of plenty produce too few people in the last 30 years? Here is the brutal truth that no one dares to mention: We’re too few because too many of our babies have been killed,” Miller said. "Over 45 million since Roe v. Wade in 1973. If those 45 million children had lived, today they would be defending our country, they would be filling our jobs, they would be paying into Social Security,” the former Georgia governor said. “Still, we watch as 3,700 babies are killed every single day in America. It is unbelievable that a nation under God would allow this.”
It is unfortunate that society chooses to shove its head in the sand rather than faces reality. The fact is there are negative repercussions to abortion. I fear that the full negative impact is yet to be felt.
Thank you Zell Miller for having the courage to speak up on an inconvenient truth that society chooses to ignore.

Wow, you're right, it's a shame that this is happening. Too bad we won't see this on CBC or CTV on tonight's news!
Let's take a quick look at some numbers. The https://www.cia.gov/cia/publications/factbook/geos/ca.html page says Canada's birthrate was 10.78 births/1,000 population (2006 est.). Since Canada's population was 31,612,897 in May 2006, that means there were about 340,787 births. The latest number I saw for abortions was 105,000 each year in Canada. That would put the total at 445,787. Abortions account for 23.55% of that total. Until recently, I hadn't realized that the number was so large. It is the largest cause of death in Canada.

Thanks for the numbers. It really is shocking at how large the number of abortions has become. It most definitely has a negative impact on our society.
Cloning should solve the immigation and military problems.
Ha ha. Joanne, cloning has a stigma against it saying it is unethical. What is more unethical though, abortion or cloning.
