Economic Effect of Legalizing Abortion

 The Philippine population reached 100 million in 2014. According to economic experts, No correlation
has been established between high population growth rates and poverty incidence. Abortion does little
if not nothing to boost the Philippine Economy.

Continual, unnaturally-elevated losses from any industrialized population's birth rate will eventually
destroy the entire economic fabric of that same nation and society.

A considerable decrease in birth rate would amount to loss of consumers which would then diminish
demand for goods and services.

Since the legalization of Abortion in the United States in 1973 (roe vs. wade), it is estimated that 53
million babies have been aborted. According to Randall K. O’Bannon, Ph.D., director of Education and
research for National Right to Life Educational Trust Fund, “ Prevalence of abortion means there are a
diminished number of workers to support the beneficiaries”.

According to estimates provided by political scientist Laura Hussey, Ph.D., of the University of Maryland,
Baltimore County, if abortion had not been legalized in 1973, there would have been 17.2 million more
people employed in 2008, earning nearly $400 billion in wages and salary.  At the current rates, that
would have meant more than $11 billion more contributed to Medicare and at least $47.4 billion more
going to Social Security. fewer children means fewer teaching, manufacturing, health care jobs providing
goods, services, education, and health care for those kids.  That means fewer schools, plants, and
hospitals being built and staffed. 

As they matured, those consumers would have become contributors, earning, spending, saving,
investing, inventing, and paying taxes, adding productivity and innovation to the workforce.
