Here is a news flash to all parents in America:  you are destroying the economy.  That is the conclusion of House Speaker Nancy Pelosi.  Yes, you are one of the villains of this sinking economy.   The solution, according to Speaker Pelosi, is to stop procreating - and the government should help pay for it.   And if you do procreate, the government should help pay for that "consequence" as well. 

In an interview with George Stephanopoulos Sunday morning on ABC's "This Week," Pelosi boldly defended a move to add funding for the abortion business in the Congressional economic stimulus bill.

"Hundreds of millions of dollars to expand family planning services. How is that stimulus?" Stephanopoulos asked.

"Well, the family planning services reduce cost. They reduce cost. The states are in terrible fiscal budget crises now and part of what we do for children's health, education and some of those elements are to help the states meet their financial needs," the top Democrat responded.

"One of those - one of the initiatives you mentioned, the contraception, will reduce costs to the states and to the federal government," Pelosi added.

"So no apologies for that?" Stephanopoulos continued.

"No apologies. No. we have to deal with the consequences of the downturn in our economy," Pelosi added.

I wonder if Speaker Pelosi realizes that roughly half of the 50 million people who have been aborted since 1973 would be taxpaying citizens by now.  Imagine what kind of impact 25 million additional taxpayers would have on the economy.  The pending social security crisis is due to an insufficient number of workers necessary to pay for the large number of people about to retire.  Guess what happened to 50 million potential contributors to social security?  Imagine the number of future business owners, entrepreneurs, economists, House Speakers, and presidents who have been aborted.

I wonder if Speaker Pelosi realizes that America needs to produce 2.1 children per couple to keep up with births to support the population -- and that rate is not being maintained. Economies in Europe have been especially hurt by a drop in birth rates.  Japan faces such strong underpopulation problems that companies are more frequently letting their workers leave work early: to go home and make babies. Leading electronics firm Canon has resorted to the early leave policy because the nation's low birthrate is causing a shortage of workers.  Memo to Ms. Pelosi: to get ahead in the world's economy, we must continue - not stop - having children.

I wonder if Speaker Pelosi realizes that she has five children and six grandchildren.  So based on her own logic, she is one of the biggest culprits to this economic problem. I mean, five children?  Was it really necessary to destroy the economy like that, Ms. Pelosi?  No citizen, no politician, no Speaker of the House, should be alllowed to bring five children into this world without facing some consequences. 

I wonder if Speaker Pelosi will resign as a consequence for having caused such economic pain and strain on society by her audacity to bring five children into this world? 

Dear Mom,

A very important event is about to take place in your life. This event will certainly change your plans and goals as well as mark the end of our journey -- and the beginning of a new one. As that special time approaches, I would like to take a moment to share with you some of my thoughts and concerns about this incredible journey that we are making together.

It has been quite a journey, would you agree?   You know Mom, if you could see how much progress I have made so far, you would be so proud of me.   You would be so proud to witness the first 40 days of my life. It was very exciting because that was when all my physical features began to form and develop, including my heart and brain. My muscles developed along with my future spine, the foundation for my nervous system was laid, my skeleton was formed, and my reflex had begun.   You know what else, Mom? I even learned to swim and perform back-flips. Just think, I have the potential to become an Olympic swimmer!   But the most incredible thing, Mom, is that all these things took place in my life before you even knew you were pregnant.

After you did learn that you were going to have me, I continued to grow at a brisk rate.   By the eighth week of my life, every organ that I will ever need was present in my body, my stomach produced digestive juices, and my taste buds developed. I have to say, Mom, some of the things you ate were pretty interesting. The very next week I developed a habit that you will have to put up with later on – sucking my thumb. I also started doing some things that other people will probably think is adorable, like squinting, frowning, and for the first time, smiling. Oh, I also began to urinate about that time. The thought of another human being urinating inside your body may not be the most pleasant but as the saying goes, “a baby’s got to do what a baby’s got to do”. 

Being human and showing my individuality is something that I really started doing in my twelfth week. I expressed myself by turning my feet, curling my toes, making a fist, bending my wrists, and I’m sure you noticed when I kicked. Remember how I told you that I could swim when I was about six weeks old? Well, as I turned four months old, I not only swam but did somersaults and backstrokes. I’m telling you, Mom, you’d better sign me up for swim clubs real soon! 

Over the past couple of months I have been putting on the finishing touches to this fine body. I have developed a sleeping trend, which is probably music to your ears. I am discovering that sleep is very enjoyable, and I crave it more each day.   I think I am starting to understand the difference between days and nights.   Is it true that when you are sleeping is when I am most awake and alert? Sorry if I am keeping you up at night because I have my days and nights mixed up right now.

Despite sleeping so much, I have kept active lately.  Now that my body parts are fully functioning, I am trying to utilize each of them. Just yesterday, I exerted by strength for the first time by gripping my hands real tight.   I know that may not sound like a big deal but anytime I do something for the first time it is quite exciting.

Speaking of exciting, Mom, last night was great. I was waking up from my evening nap when I heard an echo throughout your body.   I listened intently and heard a distinct sound that was somehow special to me. It was then that I realized that special sound was your voice. Mom, you have a beautiful voice. You seemed really happy. Now I always look forward to hearing you, especially when you are singing.

I am looking forward to many things.   I cannot wait to see your face and for you to see mine.  Are you looking forward to seeing me? Mom, this morning I heard you mention how you might not want me. I was deeply hurt to hear that. You said that I would only interfere with your life and I was only a piece of flesh and tissue. Nothing could be further from the truth, Mom. If you could only see me now, you would realize that I possess every physical feature that you do – I’m a human being just like you, Mom. How could you say that I would be a burden to you when you have not even given me the chance to enter the world?   I guess that is all I am really asking, Mom, a chance to live. Isn’t that the least you could do for me?
