What is divorced from the abortion debate is the recognition that our societies depend on a defined pyramid to survive. - that pyramid being "old" on top and "young" on the bottom. The top is proportionally smaller than the bottom due to natural mortality.

When we fiddle with the structure of the pyramid, the society itself is jeopardized. In America and most Western nations there is concern of the "graying" of society, because there are fewer in the center bands of the pyramid to fill in for the older workers vacating the work force. That is what's skewing the Social Security tables.

Why are there fewer workers in the pyramid's center bands? We disposed of them before they could become viable societal members. And we are paying the price. All the "it's my right" rhetoric in the world doesn't change the fact that the societal pyramid has been altered even worse than what the Nazis with the Holocast tried to do.

We now have almost a couple dozen-million illegal aliens in the nation, and their numbers actually have become a human plastering of the holes and gaps made into the American societal pyramid. These illegal aliens are predominantly in the 16-35 year old range. Unfortunately, most of what they earn is not income-taxed, nor do they contribute to SSA. There is a national debate on what to do with them (amnesty, path to citizenship, deport, other). Well, if abortion-on-demand remains the national policy, I see no choice but to amnesty every single illegal alien and give them lawful work cards, because without them our societal pyramid will deteriorate worse than it has already. We just flat-out need the human beings in the 18-35 year-old worker band to survive economically. And if we are going to kill off the home-grown at the rate of a million a year, we need to replace them from somewhere to keep our society in place, be in our military, and all the other things 18-35 year-olds do within a vibrant society.

Or we will just evaporate away.....
