To the editor:
The recession we are now in may become known as the abortion recession/depression.There is, within society, a finely balanced generational interdependence. Present generations give life to and provide for the coming generation. In turn, the younger generation learns from the example of the older, eventually providing physical care for them.
When this finely tuned interdependence factor is artificially alteredm, such as in war or abortion, costs and consequences follow.
In this abortion war, 6 percent of our would-be U.S. population and consumers were artificially terminated through nationally supported abortions. Yet, we naturally planned, built and prepared housing and supplies for them.
The catalyst of this recession is not lack of consumer confidence but is simply lack of consumers. Even if only 1 percent to 2 percent, let alone 6 percent, are missing, the effect of no buying is felt.
If 100 people want a glass of milk and there are only 99 glasses available, the price is high. With 100 glasses available the price is reasonable, at 101, the price drops dramatically. As little as 1 percent to 2 percent variance in the supply and demand scales can tip a business from the black into insolvency.
For years, in this land of plenty, agriculture has had to produce with its brakes on in order to keep supplies in line with demand. The slightest increase in production causes problems.
Six years ago, about the time Roe/Wade babies would have been drinking their milk, we dairymen were faced with a proportionate surplus.
Aortion is synonymous with murder and the term pro-choice is hypocritical. Millions have lost their ability to choose along with their lives.
