Actually making it harder to get abortions increases the labor force down the road making it easier for SS to stay solvent.
They could have/should have done a better job of setting this up but that ship has sailed. As a matter of fact in the beginning when retirement age was set at 65 most people did not live that long allowing assets to grow. Imagine if individuals did something like that.
