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?
