Abortion root cause of funding shortfalls

One of the root causes of the Social Security bust is the fact that we have an ever-shrinking ratio of working citizens to retirees. This is partly due to the fact that we had a baby boom and those folks are now retiring.

But where are their replacements? Oh that's right, we kill about a million of them each year by performing routine abortions. Social Security works when there is a constant worker to retiree ratio. Workers get screwed when there are fewer of them supporting a retiree. The majority of conservatives are against abortion and for the partial privatization of Social Security and this is a perfect example of the contradictions wrought on our society by the liberal left. Go W!
