The Loss of Abortion

All of the inspiration of this article is from the Holy Spirit and the good is the Lord's and the bad is mine.

Thinking about abortion, it is not just the loss of the child aborted it is the loss of the child's children and their children's children ad infinitum. The data are from Christian Life Resources and they site their data being from the Guttmacher Institute.

Analysis

The table above makes a few assumptions, first that children have all their children at the age of 20 and secondly for every 2 children aborted there would have been three children born to them since it takes two to make a baby. I calculate the total loss of life at 160,908,740 from 1973 to 2023. According to the article

"Estimated annual and lifetime labor productivity in the United States, 2016: implications for economic evaluations", Scott D Grosse a, Kurt V Krueger b, Jamison Pike c. The estimated lifetime productivity of an individual is between 1.2 and 1.5 million. This means abortion has cost the United States economy between $231,708,585,600,000 and $241,363,110,000,000 nimbers in the hundred's of trillions of dollars. Abortions destroys. Blessed be God.
